Reminder: undergrads cannot handle radiation sources!
Summer student coming next week. Jack will work with him on pin source calibrations
Start up Lab Watch next week
Trouble reports: who gets the notice if N2 stops working? (Answer: right now, no one)
New Wiki Policy
Target Drives (Jack)
Had 3 target drives from the transfer experiments. Turned one into new drive for e07038. Would the same design work for the other two drives for future transfer experiments?

Short Updates
Jon: has an office! W215
Suwat: needs to schedule committee meeting
Rachel: working on coding LASSA for Jack's experiment
Mike: LASSA efficiency.. many “small” problems
Dan: working on GEANT, able to read energy deposited by individual particles
Zibi: completed edge corrections and accounted for problem strips. Spectra look great! (yields of H, He isotopes).
Zibi talked to Pawel, accounting for charge exchange seems to improve the double ratio, Pawel is thinking about how to implement
Jack: time calibrations for S800 TDC. Very similar slope for all time channels.
