[Halld-cal] Working group meeting tomorrow at 11:00 am

[Zisis Papandreou]

Hi Elton:

sounds good.  From Stefano's email it looks like the committee is  
indeed moving ahead.  By the way, good job in putting this committee  
together.  All members did a very good job, and were engaged for the  
full day, despite the long (and late for Stefano) hours. Their  
comments and recommendations were bang on and very solid advice.

The one thing that we should have perhaps included in the review were  
the highlights of the Athens work on calibration/monitoring and the  
simulations of Andrei/Irina on charged pions giving dE/dx in the 6x4  
SiPM geometry also towards calibration/monitoring.   One of the  
reviewers commented that "...we did not hear about calibration  
today..."  In any case, we'll need to work on this stuff more and  
write up the Andrei/Irina work.

Cheers, Zisis...
