From Hall A Wiki
Previous meeting: Friday, April 12, 2013 11:00am EST
Agenda
- How many people will come in October from each group?
- Plans and goals
- Review the goal for this first run: test several quartz/lightguide/PMT prototypes with emphasis on pulse height spectra and sensitivity to backgrounds in the light guides
- Manitoba and UMass prototypes (number of prototypes and concepts)
- Anything else besides the above?
- Preparations at Mainz
- Basic components: test table, trigger scintillators, DAQ system, analysis scripts….
- Envision a modular setup which is self-aligned but will facilitate quick swap-in/out of various prototypes. Get input on this. Frank, Sebastian and I will flesh this out during the week.
- Formulation of a run plan to accomplish both MOLLER and P2 goals during this week
- time of next Monday's phone meeting
Minutes
Attending: Seamus, Rupesh, Juliette, Paul, Dustin, Michael, Frank, KK, Dominic, Katherine, Sebastian
- How many people will be coming in October?
- UMass - Seamus, Jon Wexler (KK will be there the previous; help with prep)
- U of M - Peiqing, Michael, Juliette near end (MENU conference - would be useful)?
- Syracuse - Paul (teaching)?
- Idaho State - Dustin can go for the whole time
- Mainz - Dominic, Katerine, Sebastian?
- W&M - Valerie?
- Plans and goals
- Review the goals - test pulse heights on prototypes
- different positions, angles on quartz
- different positions, angles on light guides
- cross-talk tests
- Prototypes
- U of M
- at least 3 pieces of quartz (up to 6, with 3 higher priorities)
- at least 2 different types of tubes
- different light guide materials (reflectivities)/lengths
- PMT, quartz mount on each assembly so we can switch it out
- UMass
- several spare pieces of PREX dimension quartz (cut perp. and 45 degrees)
- light guides very important
- U of M
- New item - Ordering materials
- PMTs and quartz
- Michael is talking to companies for both
- Review the goals - test pulse heights on prototypes
- Preparations at Mainz
- Basic components
- Table
- trigger scintillators - wide variety are available (fingers, wide)
- DAQ system - Caen ADCs, need to bring?
- U of M - waveform digitizer and pulse height ADCS V1720 (crate controller?)
- UMass C1205
- Frank had listed DAQ components - don't need to bring them - KK will check
- Analysis scripts
- Dominic and Katherine will be there
- Seamus and Rupesh should come early to become familiar
- New item - beam quality
- motion, charge, energy control
- between 200 and 800 MeV
- going through air -> How much? Where is the vacuum window? What is window made of?
- Modular setup (next week)
- Run plan (next week)
- Basic components
- Meet again - same time next week
