Action lists
after Meeting of March 23, 2001
To be revisited
on March 30 , 2001
- Bob
and Eduardo Revisit EGRET
calibration statistics. Merge the LAT PS requirements into the tables.
(Actually, I think you'll need text to go with the tables to capture all the
details - the 95% containment and the low energy running will both
require higher statistics. That should be displayed clearly so the
beamtime estimates can be done realistically.)
- Gary-
Operational plans for SLAC in 2003 and 2004. In
particular, what beam will be available, are there major shutdowns planned,
what are the current and beam energies planned for the LINAC, etc.? Of
course, these plans change, but if there is something known now we should
find out. Investigate backscattered laser beam, Van der Graaf
availability (and if possible how well we could measure 20 MeV Photons) at
SLAC .
- Bernard
Investigate our requirements for 300 GeV. How to study backsplash ? Can
we extrapolate (e.g. energy resolution) from 50 GeV all the way to 300 GeV
using Monte Carlo? Do we need a special beam test ? Does CAL and ACD have
particular requirements that make it sufficient to test them in a beam
without the whole tower ? Bear in mind logistics problems for moving
integrated hardware out of SLAC.
- Tune
and Hartmut (consult with Peter Bosted, Gary Godfrey) - Coherent
bremsstrahlung beam Study feasibility at low energies (20 MeV) and
possibility of adding tagger and multiple
photons issue (narrowness of collimator, etc.). Remember to investigate how
accurate we can get time stamps (using beam gate ?).
- Eduardo
and Tune (consult with Bob and D. Thompson) Investigate impact point,
energy and angle bins for tests. Need more details on EGRET experience
- Eduardo
and Hartmut Study usefulness of Engineering model
- Steve,
Bernard and Tune 4 tower
configuration. What do we need for that ?
Inter tower calibration issues. Which matrix 2 x 2 or 1 x 4 ? List
pros and cons
- Everybody-
collect thoughts for hadron beam and background rejection for the first part
of the meeting. Bear in mind logistics problems for moving integrated
hardware out of SLAC.
