Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2017/09/20

Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 20th September 2017 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

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

ABF:

• Analysing some results from Birmingham tests:
  • We see a Bragg peak.
  • Written up details of experimental runs on PBTWiki.
• Trying to get in touch with Hamamatsu regarding booster base:
  • Provides higher anode current.
  • Still measure signal from last dynode (maybe use earlier dynode).
• Writing PBT publication.
  • Large fraction written: know what needs writing for the remainder.
  • MedAustron data needs reanalysing.
  • Geant4 simulations of detector need updating to Geant4.10.2 on SL6.

DW:

• Working on reading out header files from LeCroy scope binary files.
  • Can see the trigger time array: will adjust Java code to print header data to screen.
  • Will look into calling code from ROOT and pyROOT.
• Once code is working, will be let loose on testing DAQ with actual scope...

JS:

• Finished Geant4 tutorials.
  • One of the tutorials is unfinished with data files missing (ElectronPHSP)...
  • Will update Advanced Tutorials.
• Will write up documentation on using Eclipse for code editing.

LK:

• Submitted transfer report: currently writing transfer talk.
• Attended HEP summer school in Lancaster.
• Build-up publication to be completed.
• Will assist Anastasia with detector simulations and Birmingham data analysis.
• Next steps will be to understand MAPS sensor hardware readout.
