Yingxun, Giuseppe, Jun, Brent

• Au+Au collisions, comparing data from FOPI to calculations
• Made a new mean field which gives similar shapes to the yields of pion+ and pion-
• New MF does not describe the flow data from KaoS experiment with Bi very well (ratio of out-of-plane to in-plane)
• Compare also her calculations to other models/parameter sets. Most have different trends
• Select out density-dependence using cuts on angle from y, transverse momentum

• Lab watch: Jack on this week. Both labs look okay.
• Jon is on lab watch next week
• Eyewash is installed
• Vacuum testing: Jack will work with two undergrads to teach them out to set up and start vacuum chambers
• Undergrads having lab access problems
• Zibi will talk next week on efficiency

• Zibi will collect time availability constraints and talk to Lee about preferred times to schedule
• Zibi's experiment accepted, got half of requested hours
• Mike Famiano got an experiment approved
• Zach Kohley's MONA EOS experiment approved

• Dan: comparing light output from neutron walls between data and GEANT simulations. Very different shapes between the two, true for gammas, protons, and alphas
• Rachel: Chris is working on pin source data to see if we can use it to make calibrations. Rachel got LASSA files to convert (finally) and is checking mapping, with Michael's help.
