To Do

Add information to PBT Wiki
- Analysis routines to fit Bortfeld and quenched Bortfeld Bragg curves to simulated data.
- How to take data with scintillator stack coupled to CMOS sensor.
- Analysis routines for data taken from scintillator stack.

Literature review.
First Birmingham experimental run.
Wrote code to load and plot Caen digitiser data in histograms.
Overhauled LeCroy data analysis routines: (short region) double baseline sigma testing, dynamic integration window allocation, empty acquisition checks.
Wrote code to scale and plot LeCroy & Caen data onto single plot, using approximate x and y-scale factors.
Wrote code to load and plot PRaVDA data in 2D histograms.
Wrote code to correlate tracker and calorimeter measurements, to produce a list of events with X, Y, E coordinates.
Wrote code to plot matched events into various 3D histograms: XY, XE, YE.
Progress report.
Progress interview.
Improved LeCroy & Caen matching by finding x-scale factor through chi-square minimisation.
All runs from first Birmingham put through matching algorithm. Energy spectra, 2D tracker histograms, and 3D XY, XE & YE histograms plotted for all runs (187 plots).
Wrote code to plot 3D XY histograms, but with the height of bars being the average energy in the bin.
Improved LeCroy & Caen matching by finding y-scale factor through chi-square minimisation or through peak event counting. Peak event counting method best.
Converted energy to range in XYE histogram.
Plotted 2D number density histogram alongside 3D XYRange histogram.
Produced poster for PPRIG 2019 of experiment with single-module calorimeter and PRaVDA tracker.
Attended PPRIG 2019.
Completed MSci Final report.
Attended PTCOG 2019.
Delivered presentation on project.
