=== MSci Projects ===

'''AC''':

* Currently doing background reading for Literature Review: due '''17/10/16'''.
* Researching signal analysis methods for pulse shape fitting.
* '''SJ''' and '''ABF''' advised to look at some of the raw data files before studying the pulse fitting: will look into ROOT and PyROOT.
* '''SJ''' suggested to contact '''Ben Waugh''' for advice on optimal version of ROOT/PyROOT to choose.
* '''RS''' and '''ABF''' highly recommended working through the ROOT tutorials due to the amount of useful information that has been included recently, including information on curve fitting and peak finding.

'''MH'''
* Also starting Literature review.
* Worked through tutorials on PBTWiki: some not working! Will send details of tutorials with problems to '''SJ'''. Might be a result of trying to run on <code>plus1</code>, which still uses <code>SLC5</code>, rather than the newer <code>SL6</code> desktop PCs.
* Now working through Roisin’s Clatterbridge simulations: having some issues. '''ABF''' suggested those issues may also be a result of trying to run under <code>SLC5</code>: highly recommended to use an <code>SL6</code> desktop. '''SJ''' suggested <code>pc188</code>: it's a monster...

'''AK'''
* Also starting Literature review.
* Working through LeCroy waveform data: data copied from scope to laptop in binary format and will upload to <code>/unix/pbt/</code> disk.
* Using a Python script to convert to text file: '''ABF''' will specify format. '''SJ''' will compare text file output to Matlab script provided by LeCroy to ensure correct formatting.

All MSci students requested more background information on the project and detector: '''ABF''' and '''SJ''' will email this round.

=== Detector Development ===

'''ABF''':
* Finished analysing Caen digitiser data: will upload talks when corrections are completed.
* Detector emulator has arrived! Plan to use it to investigate high rate PMT problems. First tests to involve light pulser driven by detector emulator with different PMT bases to try and ascertain whether issues are inherent to PMTs or through choice of active Hamamatsu base.
* Will start working on hardware tests herself but may put '''AK''' and '''LK''' to work.
* Gave all interested parties the guided tour of the kit, reiterating threats not to damage sensitive PMTs by exposing them to light when HV is running. Significant punishments will be applied...

'''LK'''
* First week at UCL: just started HEP lectures.
* Working through <code>Geant4</code> tutorials.
* Next step will be to adapt '''ABF's''' existing <code>Geant4</code> simulations of the calorimeter module to run under the latest version (currently written for <code>Geant4.10.0</code>).

=== Experimental Runs ===

* '''SJ''' to contact Andrzej Kacperek at Clatterbridge and colleagues at PSI/MedAustron to arrange next experimental visits.
