Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 7th November 2018 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Simon Jolly, Matthieu Hentz, Laurent Kelleter, Jeremy Ocampo, Saad Shaikh, Fernando Franco Felix, Ohie Mayenin

JO:

  • Attending HEP lectures: HEP Monday and Tuesday, CDT Thursday.
  • Going through Geant4 simulations: cannot view graphics on Windows laptop...
  • Laptop has been ordered by SJ and Tony Hoare.
  • Met with Jamie McClelland and Adam Gibson on 18th October: have been provided with reading list.
  • Will take Medical Physics/CDT courses next term: Numerical Optimisation and Inverse Problems.
  • To Do:
    • Try analysing Geant4 simulation results in Python.
    • Background reading!

MH:

  • Pure Geant4 pCT simulation matches results from GATE.

Multithreaded simulations result in multiple data files:

    • Geant4 cannot merge them itself.
    • Possible to merge manually.
    • RR suggests that merging should work automatically: will investigate.
  • To Do:
    • Build application for Legion cluster: need to speak to Research Computing.
    • Test application on HEP and Legion clusters.

SS:

  • Looking through data from Birmingham experimental runs.
  • Results generally look good:
    • Clear double peak for eyepatch data.
    • Some spectra show unexpected double peaks: SJ suggests PMT rate effects.
  • To Do:
    • Analyse scope data by Christmas.
    • Take data for LeCroy scope trigger rate test.

FFF:

  • Background reading on proton therapy: LK recommended Paganetti: Proton Therapy Physics.
  • Met with LK to discuss detector development.
  • Two potential ideas for Masters project:
    • Complete range calorimeter simulations.
    • Front end electronics design and readout.
  • Will contact Ruben Saakyan to discuss options and find out more about light detection options.

LK:

  • Working on build-up simulation paper: need to check LET definition.
  • Debugging Geant4 simulations with CentOS 7 environment.
  • Organisation of HIT trip.
