Raffaella Radogna

Saad Shaikh

  • Set up parallel GEANT4 project from a basic example to rebuild Laurent's simulation from scratch.
  • Analysed SOBP data from HIT 12th April 2019, was able to successfully fit data but realised that data acquisition missed some of the beam delivery. Shown in this [ plot].
    • Moved away from current binned fitting implementation, in favour of ROOT's fitting option "I" and using smooth QB function to fit data. Note: SOBP fit fails with this option, but fit results are fine without it.
  • Started research in FPGA programming:
    • Some basic theory of logic gates, LUTs, Flip-flops etc.
    • Ran the hardware-version of 'Hello World' on Zybo: program the board to blink an LED.
