Agenda

Frank: Mainz test beam basics (time constraints, beam characteristics, local infrastructure…..) emails
Michael: Logistics for test 1) (quartz specifications, light guide design, PMTs….) Slides, brainstorm
Piotr: PREX quartz/light guide design (this will provide us with ideas for designing a light tight geometry quickly for test 1) three documents.
All: Discussion of counting mode DAQ needs: precision charge ADC, trigger scintillators, basic event mode DAQ….
Nilanga: 10cmx10cm test GEM chambers (this will aid us in doing tests 2) and 3), at the very least)
All: Discussion of goals of tests 2) and 3)
KK: Requirements for tests 4) and 5)
All: ideas for 6)

This section is to define goals of a potential beam test and Mainz, and what we need to know before we go.

Pulse height spectra from various quartz/light guide geometries
Background light from various sources for specific geometries
Dependence of quartz response as a function of position in the quartz
Pulse pair rms widths for various quartz/light guide geometries in integrating mode
Noise test of full parity integrating electronics chain
Tests of prototype tracking devices that could be used for Q2 measurement in MOLLER and P2
