Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 12th November 2019 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Simon Jolly, Laurent Kelleter, Raffaella Radogna, Saad Shaikh

Saad Shaikh

• progress on fitting Bortfeld's Bragg curve on simulation data from Geant4 (from Laurent)
• the code is ported in Eclipse and now is cpp executable, but still uses ROOT
• next step will be the quenched Bragg curve and real data analysis
• he will also start running the CMOS sensor and collect instructions about
  • running the software and acquiring images
  • analysing images
• new directory pbt/wikiData/teaching

Laurent Kelleter

• presents results about range uncertainties of the QuARC slides
  • uncertainty from the fit of light-depth curve is about 50um, but there are other uncertainties discussed in his presentation
• all the systematics discussed will be included in the QuARC paper and the thesis
• the paper about mixed beam has been reviewed with positive outcome. Lenny and Laurent will answer.

Raffaella Radogna

• worked on setup. New way of coupling PD to the scintillator stack
• run an experiment injecting light to a sheet at the time to check the cross talk
• will analyse data

Simon Jolly

• meeting with Cham on Friday this week
