'''Simon Jolly''', '''Raffaella Radogna''', '''Laurent Kelleter''', '''Jeremy Ocampo''', '''Saad Shaikh''', '''Fernando Franco Felix''', '''James Golbourn'''

'''RR''':
* Working through preliminary documents for patent application for '''Vassilios Albanis'''.
* Started testing new PCIe Thunderbolt enclosure for CameraLink card.
* Designed a logo!
* '''To Do''':
** Organise equipment in new boxes.
** Get PCIe enclosure working.
** Start learning analysis with Laurent.

'''LK'''
* Working on stuff.
* Heidelberg data stored on plus1 and relevant parts sent to '''Lennart Volz'''.
* Started looking into Heidelberg data:
** Rough reconstruction of SOBP.
** Seeing droop due to high quenching of light.
* '''To Do''':
** PTCOG abstracts and registration.
** Detailed data analysis for Heidelberg data.
** Prepare for school talk on 4/11/18.
** Workshop on paper writing 7/11/18.
** Start writing paper on proton calorimetry results.
** Analyse Heidelberg beam mixing data.

'''JO''':
* Been reading background on particle-matter interactions and Monte Carlo simulations.
* Spoken to '''Adam Gibson''' about importing more sophisticated geometries and input beam distributions.
* Still going through reading list provided by '''Jamie McClelland''' and '''Adam Gibson'''.
* '''To Do''':
** Build Geant4 simulations of Cherenkov emission in water and scintillation light output from scintillator block.
** Clarify meaning of phase space in radiotherapy.

'''JG'''
* Written project outline for '''SJ''' to review.
* Waiting on '''SJ''' to make contact with UCLH QA experts.
* '''To Do''':
** Search for more information on QA techniques..
** Follow up references from PSI paper.

'''SS''':
* Made progress on reconstructing energy spectra from LeCroy waveform data from [[Proton_Calorimetry/Experimental_Runs/2018/Oct25-6|Birmingham experimental runs]]:
** Modified baseline subtraction now finds peak of pulse.
** Resulting spectra look very similar to Caen ADC spectra.
* '''To Do''':
** Check total number of protons in each peak for eyepatch data.
** Send spectra to '''Tony Price'''.
** Retrieve tracker data from '''Tony Price'''.

'''MH''':
* Improvements to Geant4 simulations.
* Reconstruction much faster due to analytical reconstruction algorithm: helps to prototype simulations.
* Full reconstruction now working: simple phantom gives very accurate reconstruction with fan beam.
* Looked into labelling individual protons: ROOT truncates strings...
* '''To Do''':
** Transfer report almost finished: due Friday...
** Set up large scale simulations on plus1.
** Contact '''Simon Rit''' and '''Niels Krah''' to convert ITK images to DICOM.
** Contact '''Jamie McClelland''' for DICOM image conversion and reconstruction tools.
** Assign ID to each proton to speed up pre and post matching.
