== Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 18th October 2017 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL) ==

=== Present ===

'''Simon Jolly''', '''Laurent Kelleter''', '''Anastasia Basharina-Freshville''', '''Jordan Silverman''', '''Matthieu Hentz''', '''Dan Walker'''

'''LK''':
* Just got back from holiday.
* Writing build-up publication.
* Writing poster for Munich school and OMA meeting (5&ndash;9 November).
* Needs access to IPS account: '''SJ''' to organise.

'''JS''':
* Literature Review deadline: Monday 23rd October.
* Set up Virtual Box on Windows laptop for viewing Tony Price's PRaVDA VM.

'''DW''':
* From now till Monday: Literature Review!
* Working on LeCroy binary data class importing into ROOT:
** Managed to produce a spectrum!
** Will put together some slides describing method of spectrum production.

'''ABF''':
* Matthieu's now include more accurate dimensions for cap:
** Resulting spectrum looks slightly better with increase in low energy side of peak but still not enough...
** Will take Matthieu's latest particle distributions to check detector response.
* Checked boosted Hamamatsu base with second HV supply:
** Built HV connector with Derek.
** Results initially okay, but after half an hour of running something seems to have died...

'''MH''':
* Running Clatterbridge simulations with collimator in nozzle:
** Improved nozzle cap dimensions so that overlap with nozzle is correct.
** Odd peak at 30MeV no longer present.
** Slight broadening in peak but nothing significant.
* Plotting beam intensity profile for Clatterbridge simulations:
** Large numbers of high energy particles appearing outside the nozzle.
** Will check origins upstream.
