Joe Bateman

• Geant4 QuARC simulation of 150 MeV beam with positions between -2 and +2cm to emulate UCLH spot translation measurements
• Scored both no. of photons out of each side as well as smaller scoring area to match PD size - however with 1 million histories the latter doesn't have enough stats
• From Heidelberg SciFi docs need to:
  • Work out what the control signals are
  • Total number of io signals from adc from max10 and how many are unique to each board and how many are shared i.e. d_out
  • Do the same with the digital pd’s Simon thinks 11 signals and 3 are shared
  • 8 signals and 5 are differential pairs on usb c
