- Goals: calibrate detector using pi0 and etas as a source of high energy photons.
- Not yet determined accuracy possible for calibration, but considerable effort has gone into putting the necessary tools in place.
- BCAL Update
- Fibers
- (Elton) Kuraray will ship first article fibers at the end of the month. 50 fibers to Regina, 50 to JLab and keep 50 at Kuraray. Length will be 410 +4/-0 with label on the last 2 cm.
- Beni is setting up automatic procedures for testing fibers. Present 90Sr source rate is limited and will require about 1 day for a complete test of one fiber.
- UofR: Attenuation length measurements using the UV spectrometer can be done very fast. Tests with a 90Sr source is more time consuming, and uses the same DAQ system as the tests for the SiPM.
- Construction
- UofR is obtaining more information from Ross machining about their cutting and polishing capabilities, as well as hourly rates
- Will run some short lengths of Pb through the swager. Examine samples of Pb under the microscope to optimze swager settings, before shipping swager to Alberta.
- Shower reconstruction
- Blake has new results but they were not yet ready for presentation. Should have something to show at the collaboration meeting
- Andrei is investigating charged particle energy depositions in calorimeter as a way to calibrate the detector.
- B-field at pmts
- Elton has updatedGlueX-doc-912 Magnetic fields at pmt locations using the new ANSYS magnetic fields.
- The angle of the field relative to the z-axis is quite large and it will be a challenge to find good operating point for the fine mesh pmts.
- Fibers
- GlueX collaboration meeting
- Fcal hardware (Matt)
- Bcal updates (Zisis or George)
- Bcal construction (Elton)
- SiPM update (Carl)
- Calibration using pi0 photons (Claire) in offline session
- Any other business
