Minutes

Attendees: Liping, Bill, Sasha, Jane, Drew, Axel, S.T.

  • Working on setting optimum energy scaling w.r.t. the FADC range for the ECAL
    • Need to set FADC channel for 9 GeV crystal energy so as to not go out of range due to energy fluctuations
  • Have new guesses for ECAL HV settings based on Compton analysis; these have not been set yet.
    • Use to set global scale
    • Maybe ramp up HV a little?
  • Had failure of one of HV modules for ECAL
  • 5x5 PWO + 5x5 lead glass prototype assembled in COMCAL box, ready for installation in hall
    • Using PMT dividers from Hall A for lead glass modules, need adapter for HV connector or replacement
