Agenda

Doodle poll reminder

Laser

  1. Update on plans for laser work (Mark)
    1. Kent's Transfer function measurement note https://qweak.jlab.org/elog/Laser/93
    2. Designing mount for transfer function
    3. Summer intern (Brandon Cavness) arrives tomorrow

Photon detector

  • Replay (wdc):
    • On ifarml, aim for middle of June
    • All resulting ROOT files will be stored on work disk
    • Replay will include all macros as well
    • Prereq: full BCM/BPM analysis
  • Photon detector analyzer status:
    • Scaler BCM/BPM read-out status (jc)
    • What else? (excl. electron det)
  • PbWO4:
    • Summary meeting with Hamlet last Wednesday (kent/mark/dave/wdc)
    • Dual pulser linearity test system (pulser logic) (jc?)
  • DAQ summer plans:
    • Increase data transfer speed to allow for more snapshots/longer sample windows
    • Coincidence mode: What specs? Are we happy with what we have (Mark's accumulator mode response function)?

Electron detector

Attendance

Mark, Amrendra, Wouter, JC, Kent, DD, Don

Minutes

Laser

  1. Discussed the need for the new mount: the ability to align the optical axis of the GL and the rotation axis of the rotation mount.
  2. Discussed the cavity power measurement. Electron detector group will do some analysis to see their sensitivity.

Photon detector

JC - BCM BPM - waiting for commit from Paul. Within next week. Will allow absolute position and differences. Talked about the benefits of having the BPMs calibrated

Dithering - we only have the flag since beginning of April.

Pedestals for replay, we will have long periods of constant pedestal for each detector-ADC combination. Mark to make plots of pedestal over time. Use 'beam off' pedestals.

Agreement that 'burst-mode' analysis not necessary for photon detector.

  1. PMT in middle of 4 crystals, Hamlet found ice-box (Don to check if it fits), will mount 1 mm plastic fibers to reflect of mylar on the front (JC to talk to Vardan about this.)

Electron detector

  1. Amendra
