At the first beamtest workshop in Pisa in March 2006, I (=Dave Smith) presented 5 studies that the CAL experts (=mainly Sasha Chehtman) thought should be done. You can flip through http://glast.pi.infn.it/glastdocs/cernbeamtest/workshop/slides/CALstuff.ppt
The five studies are

(2) is well underway by Fred & Thierry and will appear at https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/BeamTest/Other+CAL+Parameters
(4) & (5) require large energy deposits and are primarily SPS studies, even though a PS pre-study would be useful, given that time may be tight at the SPS. Denis may undertake (5), to be confirmed.

The FHE trigger study requires TEM diagnostics to be ON and a high energy beam to deposit lots of energy. Further, we need a series of at least 3 different energy FHE discriminator settings files. 0.5, 1, and 2 GeV would be good. Johan Bregeon will prepare these. For his 1 GeV examples see http://www.slac.stanford.edu/exp/glast/ground/LATSoft/nfsLinks/u37/BeamTest06/rawData/700000770/latest_G15_MeV1000_fhe_CAL_FM101.xml
I'm not sure how much statistics we'll need... Nota bene, as of this writing we have yet to see FHE fire at the PS testbeam! The above settings files went in for only run 770, taken with 5 GeV electrons this afternoon, and no CAL HI triggers were recorded. Other urgencies have precluded our making progress on this...
