Items for followup from Oct 27 meeting

1. Each subsystem must complete blanks in the Calibration Specification Table.
2. Decision on Bcal sampling fraction needed if any changes are to be made to design.
3. Resolution studies (Blake)
   • Develop criteria for evaluating resolution studies
   • Up-to-date geometry ONGOING.
   • Decreased threshold for FM pmts. ONGOING
   • Position resolution - understand dependence on granularity.
   • Different segmentation for the outer section. - LOWER PRIORITY
4. Study impact of inactive material at the end of Bcal on acceptance.
5. Add F100 rad hard glass to simulation. - New graduate student has been assigned this project.
6. Add roadmap for Bcal Roadmap to wiki (Elton)

Items for followup from Oct 27 meeting

1. Check what configuration (thresholds, step sizes, stack? parameters for secondaries, etc) is being used for the Hall D simulations (Regina)
2. Updated schedule with new Fcal procurement dates. (Elke will send this to Matt)
3. Report on the Bfield components in the region of the Bcal reaout (JLab for next meeting).
4. Updated drawings of Bcal modules (including O-ring) for discussions. Tim will see if that can be fitted into designer tasks.

Tentative Agenda

1. Announcements
2. Calibration
   • Progress on filling in the Calibration Specification Table.
3. Fcal
   • Report of timing studies with pmts and time calibration (Jake Bennet)
4. Bcal
   1. Bcal readout
      • Review of use of APDs for readout? (Serguei)
   2. Updates on resolution studies (Blake)
      • have simulated pi0s in both geometries, have had compiling issues with analysis code the last week
   3. Bcal Construction
      • Visit to Alberta Oct 15
