- Mike presented a report linked above: he and Simon found a parameter in the time-based track reconstruction that was not set correctly. After fixing this the efficiency is much higher (in the >90s% region). The residuals vs drift time has an offset ~300microns at >100ns which many interpreted as an indication for a different gas mixture. Note: the results presented are with magnetic field and the tracking was done with time-to-distance as simulated with Garfield for that field. Next step: to extract the time-to-distance from the data. Mike also presented the tool he made for reading/viewing one crate of f125s using pulser.

- Vlad used Mike's tool to test the bad FDC channels (see logbook entry). Out of 8 channels, 7 could not see the pulser signal (applied at the input of the pre-amp), i.e. having issues with the pre-amp, cable, connector or the fADC. Chris and Nick will check the 3M connectors for these channels.

- Lubomir simulated with Garfield the effect of adding 1% propanol to the standard gas of 40/60 Ar/CO2. From the attached plots one can see ~6% decrease in the drift velocity, i.e. opposite to the effect observed in the data.

- From the alcohol consumption (~0.4l/30days for FDC and _0.6l/30days for the CDC according to Scot) one estimate ~0.8% alcohol in the FDC and ~0.4% for the CDC, very crude estimate!!! From the vapor pressure estimations
