Dear all,
next week Monday and Tuesday is close and i think we need an agenda for
the meeting. Following the developments and efforts in the last weeks,
I think an agenda should look roughly like this.
1. pi0 reconstruction in the calorimeters Monday morning / early afternoon
FCAL status of simulation and reconstruction of photons/pi0 Mihajlo
BCAL
status of simulation and reconstruction of photons/pi0 George/Zisis
analysis of test beam data George/Zisis
analysis of cosmic data Christina
2. TOF Monday afternoon
-- tof wall Matt/Beni
status of simulation and test beam measurements
what momentum resolution do we need, plans
-- Bcal
analysis of test beam data Blake
Tuesday morning
3. what does the new material in the FCs do to shower reconstruction Richard
4. Kaon identification Eugene
--- what does a cerenkov or a rich give us
--- do we need Kaon identification in the non-forward regime
--- what will kinematic fitting and strangeness conservation help us
Discussions:
5. What needs/can be done till the calorimeter July meeting
6. when are we ready for a PID review
I know I have assigned people as speakers without asking, this are only
suggestions, of course things can be changed. Just complain to me and I
will update things.
cheers elke
