Present
Dan, Bill, Mike, Rachel, Bec, Betty, Suwat, Jack
Group Business
Seminar next week at 2:30 on Friday. Move group meeting?
Thurs 11 am, research discussion involving lead radii—all should go?
Mike will figure out answers to the above questions and email everyone
Lab move: floor is finished. Currently at a stop about the eyewash station.
Putting in airflow for the pumps, still need LCW
Access starting around March 16?
Updates
Dan
Working on a program to do full matching in the neutron walls. Lots of bugs, working on it
Need to talk to Silvan about how the simulations are going
Got the GEANT program for neutron walls from M. Famiano
Mike
Efficiency for LASSA: data/dOmega curve a lot smoother when remove pixels that are shadowed by miniball elements as well as strips 7 and 8 (center strips)
Strips 7 and 8 on front and back are all lower than would expect
Still have some issue at angles 30-35 degrees (Telescopes 3 and 4)
Will look at 50 MeV data next. Also account for efficiency losses in center strips
Rachel
Bec
Efficiency program not filling. Jack thinks this is due to a change he made, will look at it
Miniball storage case: needs holes for the rails. The cart and cover are here
56Ni: high energy particles are not well modeled in J. Tostevin's code
Energy calibration: not matched well. DE problem? Different thickness on DE?
