Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2018/05/30
Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 30th May 2018 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)
Present
Laurent Kelleter, Matthieu Hentz, Simon Jolly
MH:
- Finished writing documentation for simulation.
- Working on next coursework and CDT group project.
- Jacinta Jap would like to know:
- Where are the beam parameters used in the Clatterbridge simulation from?
- SJ obtained Excel spreadsheet of Twiss parameters from Hywel Owen. As the scattering perturbs the beam a lot the shape should not be crucial. Making sure the energy is right is more important.
- Who wrote the MCNPX simulation?
- SJ only recalls Colin Baker using MCNPX.
- Where are the beam parameters used in the Clatterbridge simulation from?
LK:
- Sucessfully converted CAD model to a GDML file.
- Asks if he should import it into the simulation before the report is due (deadline is 26 March)?
- SJ suggests to work on it until Monday 19 March and focus on writing report from then onwards.
- JS knows what steps are required, only needs to implement them.
- MH suggests getting rid of beamline definition in DetectorConstruction, import GDML file and reintroduce any missing elements one by one for easier debugging.
