Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 24th August

Saad Shaikh, Simon Jolly, Unik Limbu

Updated calibration routine in data analysis for more robust normalisation. Updated plots in this presentation.
Getting back onto Geant4 simulation: able to produce depth-dose curves and depth-light curves with 0.1mm precision and by-sheet.
- Will take data for 60 MeV, 120 MeV and 250 MeV and test live fit rates.
- Need to fix problems with curve accuracy – will go back into Laurent's simulation.
Matt Warren has made progress with USB104 DAQ problems: code has been cleaned up in many places but still tracking down last bug.
- Added a few further improvements that could be made to FPGA code to E-Log.
3D printed mylar window holders for Peli case, will cut mylar sheets for these.
- Will help Derek drill holes into Peli case for rear mylar window.
NUVIA have successfully machined 3.4mm sheets down to 3mm – these will be sent ASAP.
Simon has sent LaTeX files for Quenched Bragg paper, will set up template on Overleaf for upcoming papers and start writing after beam test.
Spoke to Dave and Becky about PhD funding extension – will be ongoing process.
