Montpelier

• Plots showing results of GSI run 186 quenching analysis (here)
  • 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"
  • See flow chart here
  • First partial draft posted soon

Next vrvs meeting on Wed, 14 Dec at 10AM Eastern Standard time

• Andrey presentation
• Eric N. presentation
• Benoit and Sasha discuss beam test calibration
