Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 15th April (Everyone is working from home)

Simon Jolly, Laurent Kelleter, Saad Shaikh, Raffaella radogna

Has texted texas instrument about the wall power supplier and was suggested a 1A AC cupplier, imput voltage between 7 and 10 V.
Is working on the 26channels prototype data tested with LED:
- The code is committed in the following repository https://github.com/rradogna/BraggFit/tree/master/BraggFit
- Candlestick plots implemented, as provided by the EVM software. Preliminary results shown presentation

Tested quenched Bortfeld model on PDLs of He and C from HIT April 2019 data, results shown in this presentation.
Reached out to Adriana Mariani about HIT FLUKA ddds for He and C but forwarded onto Thomas Haberer and Thomas Tessonnier, pending response.
Reading into extensions of Bortfeld model to incorporate nuclear interactions. Current best option involves acquiring tabulated data for fragmentation cross-sections of ions. Michael Kramer or Thomas Haberer should be contacted. Will do this after acquiring HIT FLUKA ddds for He and C.
Will spend remainder of this week familiarising with GEANT4 simulation.

Writing his PhD thesis
Received reviews fro the QuARC paper and will implement the comments
Will share his github repositiry to allow Raf and Saad to keep track of the updates
He is also working on the comparison of the PDL calibration curves from Back-Front-average shoot trough data and Front-only shoot trough corrected by simulations
