=== Andreas Korn ===

* Andreas knows Daniel from ATLAS also involved with development of scintillating materials in German polytechnic - wants to help with designing better scintillating sheets - water equivalent density and 3mm.
* Improved technique for optically decoupling insulator - dipping/coating technique as opposed to mylar wrapping - potentially a thinner film coating than the 6um mylar sheets.
* If Daniel can provide 105 by 105 mm sheets or 100 by 100 mm with 3 mm tickets we can test soonish if we can get UCLH beam time.

* Analysis from most recent UCLH beam test
** Correlating QuARC energies to DICOM energies give constant 4-5 mm offset.
** Additional ~ 2.5 mm when taking into account WET of NPL transmission calorimeter and UoB CMOS detector.
** Looking to implement consistent fitting parameters i.e start fitting 5 sheets prior and ending 3 sheets after rather manually changing for each run.
** Some photodiodes behave weirdly for different runs but not consistently for every run
** Re-investigate calibration issue and strange results when applying to Christie measurements despite same sheets used.

=== [[ELogs/SimonJolly|Simon Jolly]] ===

* Some of the QuARC USB-Cs are flaky
* Order of connecting electronics in daisy chain matters
* No set of pristine scintillators as of yet
* Refined electronics and pristine new set of scintillator sheets will be needed before next beam test

=== [[ELogs/JoeBateman|Joe Bateman]] ===

* Try and run basic Geant4 examples via CVMFS
* Email Ben Morgan from Warwick uniform advice on Geant4 via CVMFS etc
