LK:

• Looking further into nuclear build-up for energy variation:
  • Relative reduction becomes constant at beam energies above 200 MeV: "saturation".
  • RS suggests that nuclear interactions become important above 200 MeV: suggests to count numbers of all secondaries by species in the entrance region.
  • PA suggests using a liquid Hydrogen target to simplify the nuclear interactions.

ABF:

• Assembling photodiode circuit with Hamamatsu preamp.

Suggestions needed for our Water Equivalent range telescope plastic scintillator detector.
