Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2022/08/03

Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 3rd August

Saad Shaikh, Simon Jolly, Unik Limbu

Compared shoot-through calibration data with fibre-injection crosstalk data: data sets show similar trends but are not close enough to substitute proton calibration with LED calibration.
- Will fix a bug in calibration normalisation calculations (minor effect on fitting).
Matt Warren looking into USB104 problems: issue likely due to smaller FTDI FIFO buffer size on USB104 compared to Nexys Video.
Marko's Raspberry Pi now set up in D109 with Argon case.
- Set up networking on desk so that Thunderbolt Display, Raspberry Pi and Windows PC all have wired network connections through single network switch.
Met with Charles-Antoine Collins-Fekete and presented QuARC detector.
- Could go visit medical physics to see their detector.
Met with Colin Baker to discuss potential of working in UCLH as a technologist part-time for approx. 1 year during postdoc. Colin was enthusiastic but will need to check if money is available.
- Giraffe measurements are possible – next monthly QA session is fairly soon.
- Will provide Simon with thicknesses of clear sheet stack and white painted stack for UCLH Giraffe measurements.
Will test Rev. D boards.
Will determine sheet order and stack thicknesses for 2 14-sheet Rev. B prototypes for Clatterbridge.
- Will make experiment pages for UCLH, Clatterbridge and Manchester.
Still need to measure mylar foil and investigate QSPI programming.
