Minutes
Attendees: Matt Shepherd, Beni Zihlmann, Mihajlo Kornicer (Indiana), Blake Leverington, Andrei Semenov, Zisis Papandreou (Regina)
- Calorimetry Document
- Assignments: Intro (Alex), BCAL (George, Zisis), FCAL (Matt, Beni), Simulations (Mihajlo), Editing (Alex, George)
- Style: ordinary LaTeX (same as that used in DR v4; structure: follow that of DR v4, figures should reside in chapter directories, references should eventually be entered into master halld.bib file. The idea is to have the calorimetry document written so that it can easily become a chapter in DR v5.
- FCAL Reports
- Students will finish their work on the light guide wrapping before Xmas break and produce documentation that will be used in the Calorimetry Document.
- Cosmics/Cherenkov work is continuing and is estimated to be largely complete by the end of January.
- Reconstruction work is proceeding nicely, with a large sample of Pythia background available (see above link). Plans include carrying out amplitude analysis as well before the Review.
- Milestones: First draft of document by week Dec 17. Next draft before Jan Collaboration meeting. Final document by Jan 31, to give a couple of weeks to the reviewers before the Feb 18 Calorimetry Review.
- BCAL Reports
- SiPM cosmics with G3 array continue. Enough statistics will be available by Nov. 28 to allow for a subsequent teleconference with SensL. Other arrays and improvements will be tested next. Phase-1 closure report is aimed for before Xmas. The current arrays will not allow the extraction of number of p.e.'s due to pad-to-pad variations. However, amplitude and timing behavior will be extracted.
- Work has commenced on the simulation of 0.3mm lead leading to a larger sampling fraction. The work will be completed by the end of January.
- Monte Carlo validaiton to the beam tests continues.
- FCAL-BCAL Hole: no progress this week; we will get an update next week from Paul/Richard.
- Next Meeting: until the end of the year, Thursday mornings at 11am EST works for Indiana and Regina. FSU, Athens and Elton will be polled. We will revise this time in early 2008.
