Montpelier
- Able to recover last year's analysis work. Will soon (next mtg) have plots of first results from GSI reanalysis.
- Need dE/dx tables in code to investigate deposited energy ratios. Benoit has tables implemented in C, or suggests use of G4.
- New software engineer will need time to come up to speed. Resources for her will include David Chamont and Zach Fewtrell.
Bordeaux
- Benoit still owes documentation for EPAX but it is not high on his priority list (something about a beam test...)
- GSI paper: most comments inserted, essentially done. Any other comment still welcome but hurry, please!
NRL
- Plots showing results of GSI run 186 quenching analysis
- Improved intercalibrations
- Improved peak fitting with better initial conditions
- Better stats with run 186 than previous runs used (although some s/w changes required to account for 1 range readout
- 2% systematic change from Benoit's quenching analysis: virtual agreement
- Eric is using these results in his continuing GSI analysis – ready to show something next mtg
- Benoit suggests comparing interaction rates between GSI and sims to further check EPAX model
- Benoit will send Sasha's complete EM calibration (all channels) to Fred (currently using incomplete calib.)
NRL
- Andrey:
- Simulations of heavy ions from CRHeavyIonPrimary now working with G4 truth saved via user stepping routine
- Working mostly with Carbon so far to improve statistics
- More non-interacting hits in edge towers than center (expected)
- As a test, correlation of HI energy deposition and path length looks good
- Working on comparison of MC energy deposit from HI vs MC integrating hits for each hit xtal
- Mark is still working on "the document". Mostly outline, a few words.See flow chart here
Next vrvs meeting on
