* Zach: Final stages of producing initial flight calibrations including crosstalk corrections, etc.
* Fred: Working on L&EO timeline for calibration. Redoing ion rate plots layer by layer
* Berrie: Berrie, David, Zach, Sasha working on adapting David's LAC calibration model for NomSciOps data - about done. Next is FLE
* Elliott: Yvonne needs to redo energy deposit study vs angle, energy with new MC (including LPM, etc)
06/17/2008
* Berrie points out that being able to "join" AFEE temps and other calibration information would be desirable. He will look into this @ SLAC
* Fred will submit sims to Zach's requirement to SLAC or Lyon pipeline
* Fred asks who is responsible for validating filter performance during L&EO? Fred will send a note to Richard Hughes and Eric Grove about this
06/24/2008
* Simulations for proton/interrange testing
* Status
** Zach
*** knee deep in proton interrange calibration code
**** currently building new app utilizing existing Muon & GCR calib code
**** Took some work, but now we have appropriate simulation code - intend to run existing GCR calib code on the new sim.

* Zach
** initial analysis & delivery of FLE/FHE calibration for SciOps data
** calibration of ULD thrsholds, yet to be delivered, looks ok so far
** calibGen (IntNonlin) analysis, ongoing
* Berrie
* Philippe
* Elliott
* Others
* Proton/Interrange vs GCR
07/15/08
Status and Plans:
* Sasha
** CAL proton energy scale calibration (LE diodes only)
** CAL complete proton/interrange energy scale calibration
** pointing mode temperature pedestal drift
** CAL pedestals drift at stable AFEE temperature
** CAL thresholds calibration on orbit
** explanation of event excess at low GemDeltaEventTime

* Others
* NOTES
** Berrie et. al. will do long term monitoring of threshold and LAC settings
** Fred et. al. will do energy calibration monitoring using GCR
** Suggestion that monitoring processes highlight new outliers
** In GCR monitoring, we need to determine correct tradeoff between peak width (i.e. more stringent cuts) and statistics (less stringent cuts)
** Sasha will be Zach's replacement as contact for threshold settings questions, deliveries, etc.
