Previous meeting: Thursday, September 1, 2016 4PM ET

Task list:

1. Collimator design and shielding (Rakitha)

Collimator Designing: Designing the beam intercepting collimator (Primary collimator) collaborating with engineering

Shielding: Shielding beam intercepting collimator to minimize the radiation dose, especially neutron radiation.

2. Pion rate (Rakitha, Ciprian, Scott Mundy(W&M))

Study the pion rate as well as maintain/develop a reliable pion generator.

3. Target length optimization (UVa)

Play with target length (try 1.25m) to check the correlations of backgrounds, maybe the systematic error can be better than 1.5m design.

4. optical simulation (Yuxiang, Brad, Ryan)

Can be separated in to two parts, 1)Gas scintillation simulation with different light guide design, 2) real quartz simulation with different light guide design and different "cut" on quartz

5. Detector prototype (Yuxiang)

6. Background study and systematic error study (Yuxiang)

Maintain the analysis framework of systematic error estimation. Play with the quartz segmentation to study the correlations between different backgrounds.

7. Detector and Spectrometer Studies (Sakib, Juliette)

8. CAD of Moller (Cameron)

Work to implement the reflector and lightguide designs that were tested at Mainz this Summer into the CAD maintained at Stony Brook.

Iterate CAD limitations with the radiation dose branch results.

9. ShowerMax simulation (Brad)
