Minutes

Present:

  • FSU: Paul Eugenio, Sasha Ostrovidov
  • JLab: Eugene Chudakov, Chuck Hutton, Mark Ito (chair), Simon Taylor, Beni Zihlmann

Trip Report: Work at FSU

Beni reported on work he, Sasha, and Paul did during Beni's recent trip to FSU (November 28 through December 2). He led us through his wiki page summarizing the work. He described:

  • cosmic ray test stand at FSU
  • PMT gain measurements
  • revised PMT current estimates
  • time difference resolution measurements

Most encouraging, he gets a Δt/2 resolution of 80 ps near the center of the TOF prototype.

We agreed that the trip was very useful and will help with communication in the future.

Prototype Tests

Sasha showed progress in the last week with the prototype. See his [??? web page] for details. He showed:

  • improvement in trigger counter time difference measurements after Paul changed the phototubes
  • improved separation between pedestal and signal in the TOF prototype paddle with a longer ADC gate


glueing:

 optical epoxy used now?
 grease
 RTV
 

Using grease on trigger

program to explore gluing Eugene will send info to Paul

10-stage tube uniformly an attractive option

email outline all information

chuck silicon cookies, changes support issues got copy of new light guide

paul vinyl cutter for vm2000 paul will work on getting bigger sheets or a roll
