GEn Detector Meeting 3/2/05

Present
Bogdan Wojsekhowski, Tim Holstrom, Seamus Riordan, Neil Thompson, 
Igor Rachek, Vladimir Nelyubin, Ameya Kolarkar,  Matt Bellis, Aiden Kelleher

Start 2:12

Neil presented his n20 results.  Made new cuts on data and calculated the 
pedestal values and gains for the N20 array.  Will start calculating the 
speed of light in the bars.

Amelya has been measuring the count rates in the scalars and TDCs.  Discovered
a pulser was not plugged in so will be using HRS data to get an estimate.  
Discussed using the TDCs to calculate rates.

Seamus looked through the n20 database checking geometries.  Will begin work 
on setting up data aquisition for the BigBite drift chambers.

Last of CMU detectors will be delivered March 3

Aiden will be looking through the HRS database files to determine 
accuracy for n20 analysis.

Vladimir has been committed to developing the target for GEn.  Work continues 
on the wire chambers and plans to be completed in about two weeks.  Will 
prepare to mount the chamber in 3 weeks.

Igor has made a great amount of progress on the wire chambers.  Wires for 
data aquisition has been mostly connected to TDCs.  Powers has been applied 
and preliminary signals have been measured.

Data taking for the wire chamber must be prepared soon.  Work on the wire 
chambers is planned to be completed in the next 2 to 3 weeks at which point
it will be moved into the hall.  At this point analysis must be done to 
determine the operational voltage for high rates to get the most gain.

Bogdan reported construction of the lead-glass calorimeter is going well.
50% of blocks have been installed and tested.  Completion should be towards 
the end of this week.  

Work will continue on CMU detectors next week.

Cage for BigBite detectors will be arriving 3/15 at which point it may start 
being loaded with detectors.

End 3:26
