Following Meeting: Compton Meeting, June 16, 2011

Agenda

Laser

  1. Updated schedule
    • Laser pre-alignment change request being written: move to early August

Analysis

  1. Replay status
    • submission scripts tested and integrated in batch manager (see [1])
    • need all offline macros self-contained in svn, only what is in svn will be used in replay. Initial import done but untested.
    • --Wdconinc 16:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Photon Detector

  1. A tale of 2 runs - large backgrounds and their subtraction

Database

What information from the Compton parameters do we want to go into the database ?

(The book-keeping currently done in 'run_list' files can be automated by using the database)
