Present
Simon Jolly, Raffaella Radogna, Laurent Kelleter, Jeremy Ocampo, Saad Shaikh, Fernando Franco Felix
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.
- To Do:
- Chase up Medical Physics/CDT courses: MH sure that Numerical Optimisation course is a great foundation for Inverse Problems.
- Try analysing Geant4 simulation results in Python.
FFF:
- Introduced himself to everybody.
MH:
- Off sick with the man flu.
- Managed to run a reconstruction using data from Geant4 simulation.
- Currently investigating how similar the images are to the reconstructions obtained using Gate.
- Working on implementing a multi-threaded run manager in my simulation.
OM:
- Working on Literature Review.
- To Do:
- Will send draft to SJ 18/10/18.
- Literature review due in 22nd October.
SS:
- Working on Literature Review.
- Draft copy sent to SJ for review: SJ promises he will send back comments today...
- Held Skype meeting with Tony Price:
- Possible visit to Birmingham cyclotron 25/26 October.
- TP to advise on possibility of visit and cyclotron availability.
- Measure energy spectrum of beam.
- TP will make Bragg peak measurement before we start.
- To Do:
- Literature review due in 22nd October.
- Speak to Ruben Saakyan and Anastasia Basharina-Freshville about setting up PMT, particularly self-trigger threshold.
