Hi Elton:<div><br></div><div>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. </div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers, Zisis...</div><div><br><div><div>On 22-Jul-09, at 3:17 PM, Elton Smith wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div><div>Hi Zisis,</div><div><br></div><div>Great PR!</div><div><br></div><div>I think we should go ahead and meet at JLab and start thinking about the</div><div>SiPM tests that are needed.
