Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 16th January (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Simon Jolly, Raffaella Radogna, Laurent Kelleter, Ohie Mayenin, Saad Shaikh

Saad Shaikh

• Solved chi^2 minimising for matching spectra.
  • Fitting for horizontal scaling but not vertical scaling.
  • SJ suggests to rerun chi^2 minimisation in ROOT only for vertical scale.
  • RR suggests checking integral of each peak to generate best scale factor.
• Need to focus on 4D data binning for (X,Y,E) binning.

Ohie Mayenin

• Contacted Laurie Nevay: working through BDSIM ATF2 example.
• Working on generating analysis plots: script provided by James Chappell to get pyBDSIM analysis working.

Laurent Kelleter

• Working through to-do list!
• Writing up papers on quenched Bragg curve and build-up.
• Visualisation broken in old range telescope simulation...
• Will look into analysis of HIT data from first night.

Raffaella Radogna

• Updated to do list: hopefully finish this week.
• Working through Java marking.
• Installing Caen software on DAQ laptop.

James Golbourn

• Preparing to present summary of QA detectors.
• Writing progress report: will include brief details on each QA detector.
