SESSION: Calibrations
- Mike- BCM Calibrations-
- use dnew in standard analysis
- use constant calibration for entire MARATHON run
- Javier- why is unew low for calibration #2?
- Tyler H- Raster Calibration-
- Javier- Did something in the beamline really change? ask the expert
- Javier- Does the carbon hole image get fuzzier with higher angle due to multiple scattering within the target?
- Need to make a plot for stability of current-to-mm calibration over the whole MARATHON run
- check BPM documents to find raster calibration stuff
- Jason- Runlists-
- get runlist info in mysql, add mysql runlist query functions to TriTools

SESSION: Systematics
- Tong- December Boiling-
- Talk to Meekins: are we surprised that the boiling is non-linear?
- check target-z dependence of boiling
- Mike- Boiling-
- why are the events from the gas tilted (high at upstream, lower at downstream)
- Hanjie- No-track/Multi-track-
- use assumption of constant cosmic rate, predict zero track efficiency effect vs kinematic
- Tyler K- Tritium Decay-
