Agenda

  • Operations
    • Run 62 (HV#4, Si) status:
      • Still only using two DCRCs, but Berkeley said they would send us one
      • IbIs stability study
      • Lead shield has been erected
      • Calibration:
        • Still not sure whether we see Am lines, compared with and without shield, with and without Ba - results unclear
        • Maybe will need to borrow the Co source for more calibration tests
      • Noise runs: long trace randoms at varied HV
    • Future 6“ run (1”-thick 5Q device)
    • Ge iZIP “pathfinder” - currently SLAC plans to send us this, test with old hardware (similar wiring issues with HV dets). Could be as early as end of March.
  • Lab infrastructure
    • Need to clean up vuk1/vuk2 before they are retired. Need to ask Angie again when she will finish copying data. Final backup of some LIGO stuff and some of Anthony's stuff.
  • Processing and Analysis
  • Physics
    • low-energy Comptons and n,gamma calibrations with external triggering
  • Old/continuing items:
    • DAQ and data pipe
      • DAQ upgrade - should ask Bruno about new IbIs tool
      • Data storage and backup:
        • Need to copy all Run 60 and some Run 61 data to SLAC
      • Autoprocessing and data organization development:
        • currently autoprocessing suspended, no “official” processing for Runs 60, 61, 62
        • clean up database - some info missing. Consider adding additional info
    • Possible plan to modify DCRCs (resistor swap) so we can increase front-end gain, improve IbIs (suggestion from Bruno)
    • Run 60, 6“ detector analysis - is there more work to do?
    • IF (not likely) new DCRC RevC.2 arriving from Bruce in Denver then
      • missing resistors on 3 QET channels, we've ordered some
