* Possibility of test beam at Trento
* For beam time submission: need amount of time and dose and fields needed at FLASH dose rates

* Need to test new ddc boards in jan first before we know when we'll be ready for a beam test - feb/end of march - will be with new electronics
* Page setup on wiki to decide required beam parameters [[Proton Calorimetry/Experimental Runs/2025/Trento 2025-03]]

=== [[ELogs/SoniaEscribano|Sonia Escribano]] ===
* If set number of boards to >4 when only that number of boards is available retrieves random data
* Investigate with setting max number to 10 (since won't be using more than 8 boards anyway).

* TOPAS and FRED simulation of UCLH Beam test run033 SOBP pencil beam 1 (~150 MeV) shows significant differences between Bragg peak shape (ran both codes using default physics lists and settings)
** R_80 of PDD very similar but FRED have sharper Bragg peak with smaller range straggling
** When looking at absolute dose-depth curves - almost identical in the plateau/buildup region but difference in Bragg peak width and height - likely to do with handling on nuclear interactions and energy straggling models
** Will investigate different physics settings and maybe get in touch with Ilaria and Giorgio from Maestro for advice.
* Fully reconstructed all pencil beams (with 1e6 primaries per pb) for run033 in FRED in 3 configurations:
** Size, position and intensity from CMOS; energy from QuARC
** Size and position from CMOS; energy from QuARC; intensities from DICOM
** All parameters from DICOM
** Clear saturation and inaccuracies from CMOS intensities but reconstruction using DICOM intensities shows promising SOBP
