Minutes
Attendees: Wouter, Paul, Seamus, Nevin, Kurtis(late)
Not Attending:
Scribe: Kurtis
- Wouter: Planning to merge some of the pion branch geometry in to main branch for others to use.
- Scott: Running some initial simulations with a simple Shower Max type detector, also reduced size of the virtual detector before the lead wall to better understand the pion spectrum incident on the lead wall.
- Wouter(Nevin's Report): Working towards a layered calorimeter design, which is optimized for electron/pion identification. This is probably overkill for our desired application. As the purpose of the calorimeter is really for simulation benchmarking in tracking mode.
- Wouter: Haven't gotten very far with the mu+ + mu- background generator. Has taken a back seat to the other branch merging tasks currently being worked on. The plan is to implement a generator that will read in Mad-Graph output.
