Meeting time and location

Agenda

Preparation for mass production of FCAL2 modules -- Sasha
- 50 new CRYTUR crystals received
  - Need to perform a quality check
- DSG group: preshaping (18 foils a day), wrapping (7 crystals a day on average, expect to wrap 10 crystals per day in the future).
- Contract with the GWU is under preparation (SOW, sole source,...)
- Chris A. continues to braze strips; discussions regarding brazing quality. Bobby preparing soft Iron housings.
- Igal continues cutting ESR / Tedlar
Module fabrication -- Sasha
- Modules fabricated by Arshak and Sasha (list on Google Drive) (grand total 245)
- Fabricated modules in TEDF
- Status of fabrication
Light Monitoring System April 1 update -- Arshak
COMCAL tests, TAC running, etc. -- Sasha
- A 3 x 3 calorimeter will be installed on the TAC platform. Will (can) be used as a TAC run during the CPP experiment and other tests in the future.
Data analysis
Simulations

Attendees: Bill, Sasha, Olga, Axel, Phil, Igal, Jon, Liping, Zisis, Jane, Tim B., Azizah, Susan, S.T.

Olga has set up the GWU lab for production of silicon cookies
Sasha working on contract with GWU
NPS running out of space in their lab, will move crystals to our lab; however, we will be moving to a new location some time soon (June?)
PMT exchanges continue with NPS
Module fabrication continues -- now up to 245
Tim W. inspected small FCAL prototype sent to us by Matt
- Idea is to determine what we need to do to refurbish the lead glass modules in FCAL
Absorber in front of beam hole needs to go beyond conceptual stage
Sasha presented Arshak's update regarding LMS development
- Ordered 80x45 cm^2 plexiglas plate with 4x4 cm^2 hole
- Performed transmission tests on small prototype
  - Roughed surface using sandpaper
  - Glued fibers to face of plexiglas as opposed to drilling holes
- Looking into using 4" integrating sphere
- Plan to use 2 fibers per side per crystal row
- Check stability using alpha source?
Had some discussion regarding getting students involved in summer
- Liping, GWU, Phil all potentially can send students
- Also master's student from CNU interested in getting involved
- Sasha to clarify permission for students to come to lab with management
Need to update sensitivity plots for 40x40 insert
