Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2018/01/10

Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 6th December 2017 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Simon Jolly, Ruben Saakyan, Laurent Kelleter, Anastasia Basharina-Freshville, Jordan Silverman, Dan Walker

ABF:

• Update on single module detector simulations and scintillator paint tests:
  • Was smearing pre and post simulations: post-simulation always used 8.5%; now only smearing pre-simulation with variable resolution.
  • Now correlation between Monte Carlo truth and reconstructed energy spectrum.
  • Still seeing low energy tail.

LK:

• PPRIG was good!
  • Mike Merchant wants particle spectra for Geant4-DNA simulations.
  • Very helpful comments during evening meal...
  • Not sure whether initial proton retains 'primary proton' ID.
• Everything should be finished with paper:
  • Waiting for Adam to write his parts and polish off.
  • Clinical part needed from Richard Amos.
  • No answer from Tracey Underwood: becoming less likely...
• Lots of code housekeeping!
• Will contact Michaela Esposito and Tony Price about ISDI sensors.

JS:

• Gone back to looking into CAD modelling in Geant4.
• Going through Matthieu's Clatterbridge simulations:
  • Learning how simulations run.
  • Investigating introducing sensitive detectors for particle measurements.

DW:

• Improved code to integrate waveforms.
• Reconstructed Caen ADC spectrum: needs corresponding LeCroy binary files.
