Saad Shaikh

• Investigating optical issues with Geant4:
  • Implemented a way to import optical material properties with increasing energy vectors – gives different results. Asking questions about this on Geant4 forum.
    • Might find a better way to collect photons.
  • Seems that refractive index and bulk absorption length data are the most important properties to define for proper behaviour.
    • Have reached out to NUVIA to request new figures for refractive index, bulk absorption spectrum and wavelength shifting absorption/emission.
  • Will investigate getting Geant4 simulation working on Apple Silicon.
• Reviewed Bristol seminar slides with Sonia.
• Will now start writing thesis.
