Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2025/02/11

Minutes for UCL Proton Beam Therapy Group Meetings, 11th February

Joe Bateman, Sonia Escribano, Febian, Simon Jolly

New calibrated file structure - additional info added to header lines (19 lines)
Maybe add no of modules lines ?
Also another line whether to mention no of sides covered with photodiodes i.e. 1 or 2
Calibration consistency
- Should compare just one shoot through direction for all modules
- This time round has averaged both directions in each module
- When we do new calibration method, automatically attempts to apply calibration_1 even if 1st module (which calibration1 is needed for) is not included.
- Have to remove the calibration file manually
- Not a problem in the future since final product won't be modifiable
When looking closely on on averaged shoot through on four modules, appears to be sloping trend behaviour (alternating between the four modules, down/up/down/up)
Added progress bar in GUI
Gui next steps
- Raw data files need to split into two
- Averaged calibration file needs to be split in two also so live calibration can be applied to both curves simultaneously?
- Or calibration live split in two?
- Write four lines to average.csv instead of two (i.e data, errors, data, errors)
- New circuits should be here last week of February hopefully ready to build into modules on first week of feb
To check consistency between modules, apply calibration but use a single from shoot through to check consistency between modules
- Level should be the same

Currently in process of running simulations for QuADProBe reconstruction and working on intro for Frontiers in Oncology paper
Checking whether should contact Sam Flynn about transmission calorimeter results to include in presentation for PPRIG and paper - answer is yes so will schedule meeting in coming days.
