Present: A. Camsonne, E. Fuchey, C. Hyde, C. Munoz Camacho, J. Roche, V. Sukolsky
Feel free to correct or comment.
- 12 GeV preparation: We discuss the schedule that Thia sent us by email last week. Basically running March-June 2014 and then September-December 2014, symbiotically with GMp. From what we know no slides or memo have been posted anywhere, Alex will keep us posted as things develop. Here are some questions we have:
- The schedule Thia sent by email is not what she discussed with Charles and Alex. Charles and Alex will have to talk to Thia again, maybe Tuesday Aug 28. What does symbiotically means? When will GMp runs the small angle part of their program?
- There is no update with the scattering chamber: Al Gavalya has all the info he needs to try to work this out though. In plus of new windows and large exit mouth for the scattering chamber, a new stand is being designed. One needs to check that the new stand allow us to reach the small angle. Are all infrastructure modification rising the price tag of our experiment? Keep in mind we are not asking for the modifications, they are only made to accomodate Gmp.
- Space issue: a space in the TED was proposed by Thia. It looks like a decent space and it is smaller than what we expected. Charles remind us of the space at ODU and also the availability of Tom (a tech).
- Julie discussed her rough plans for her new NSF proposal: P. King will get involved, she plans to be at JLab for the whole 2014 and she plans to be on leave from the university from Jan. 2014 to Summer 2015.
- Pi0 paper: Eric and Carlos believe that what was published is 2 sigma_TL' That is ((N+ - N-)/(N+ + N-)). Charles wants to cross-check this himself. Charles thinks that because N+ is produced with half of the total luminosity, but the denominator of the ratio is the full luminosity the 1/2 factor is there be default. Charles will circulate a note that explains his reasoning.
- DVCS2: Orsay is following on the oddities Malek found during his timing correction study. Malek correction will be implemented soon, clustering will follow soon. Carlos expects that the ntuple will be available within 2-3 weeks.
