  1. first 5 production paddles have light guides glued to them and are now in the wrapping room for wrapping.

2) the wrapping procedure has been changed slightly such that the light guide

   is wrapped with a separate independent piece of reflective material 

that is

   templated to fit the light guide better. A small strip of aluminium 

foils is used

   at the intersection between the scintillator and the light guide.

3) currently Paul Eugenio is doing the wrapping. He has not yet trained students

   to do the job. And because he is currently at the APS meeting the 

wrapping is

   on hold.

4) Maurizio is polishing the light guides. 70 LG have been already polished. 5) 10 out of the 92 production bars have been measured in the dark box using

   UV led to determine the attenuation length. It was found that one 

paddle had

   a very small attenuation length. After contacting ELJEN the 

manufacturer agreed

   to send them a new paddle. According to them it could be that this 

paddle came

   from the edge of a batch and probably should never have been 

shipped in the first

   place as there edge parts are usually discarded.

6) During the attenuation measurement the paper is completely removed from the paddle

   as the glue of the paper destroys the internal reflection and 

distorts the measurement. 7) Chuck is working on the TOF-frame design but is not yet finished. 8) the Mini-TOF stand is still assembled as it is still in used as show and tell object for the

   FSU administration.
