          + multi-threaded event building, problems encountered
  * TRD performance studies with Lubomir
      o getting agreement with MC
      o will report at future meeting


    Elton

  * CPP MC work, simulating ρ→π^+ π^−
      o putting in S-wave
      o using MCwrapper
      o comparing Geant3 vs. Geant4
          + resolution for forward tracks much worse in Geant4, issue
            not resolved
          + proton track in CDC comparable between G3 and G4


    Simon

  * preparations for resubmitting JEF proposal
  * cross section measurements
  * improved matching to start counter
      o change approach to swimming track toward start counter plane


    Alex A.

  * preparations for reconstruction launch
      o monitoring launches done
      o Sean D. working on calibrations
      o final test this week
      o yields higher for low intensity running, but calibrations for
        high intensity behind
  * started amplitude analysis working group
      o now: spin density matrix elements
      o GlueX-specific
      o meet every other Monday


    Alexandre D.

  * writing review on spin structure functions
  * testing new perturbative QCD procedure, using α_S at medium energies
  * analysis of GDH experiment in Hall B
  * beam energy in Hall D, understanding
  * get Fast Access going for Hall D
      o all equipment in place now


    Sascha S.

  * trigger
      o long busy signal leads to crashes occasionally
          + TI/TD mis-communication
  * Primkoff
      o CompCal
          + Hall C ordering crystals, PMTs
          + testing dividers from Vladimir P.
          + can take 2 MHz with 2% deviation from linearity
      o liquid helium target
          + Chris K. has liquefied helium at 4 K with augmented heat
            shielding
          + will repeat with more realistic configuration
          + simulating method for monitoring target boiling
      o ready for review in June, perhaps
  * JEF
      o simulating rare decay
  * Nuclear target proposal
      o worked on data analysis


    Thomas

  * MCwrapper, designed with low barrier to entry
  * cross section for φ→KK
  * event viewer work with Dmitry R.
  * run browser performance speed-up work


    Hovanes

  * Goni repair work, with Tech Staff
      o work on pitch stage in EEL
      o took apart, changed electronics, re-assembled
      o can do maintenance/repair here at Lab
      o question on how to align stages, probably use Survey Group
  * TAC: incorporate into ROOTSpy for monitoring


    Mark I.

  * added gluex ROOT analysis to standard build
  * worked on gluex_install
      o complete build from scratch
      o incorporate Geant4, HDGeant4, gluex ROOT analysis


    Beni

  * TOF calibration
      o re-do with finer data grid
  * timing calibration help for PS hodoscope
  * TOF PMTs look OK, not replacing them this summer
      o continue to look at Vladimir's divider design
          + test counter set-up in ESB
          + can inject light from an LED into counter at high rate
  * analysis: neutral events with π^0 's -- look for proton in start
    counter only
      o perhaps a way to access low t


    Lubomir

  * J/ψ from 2017 monitoring data
      o get 30 more J/ψ's
      o factor of 3 more φ's
      o using only angles, can avoid using kinematic fit


    Paul M.

  * analysis library
      o re-factoring to make more efficient, core code only
      o ready for test in a few weeks
  * CLAS paper
      o passed committee review
  * Launches
      o waiting for alignment calibrations from Mike S.
      o will re-run 2016 golden period
      o 2017 data waiting on BCAL calibrations


    Mark D.

  * BCAL calibration, 4 ns offset in 2017 data
      o need run-by-run calibration
      o looking at TDC as standard to find ADC shifts
      o after done, go on to attenuation length, gain, end-to-end timing
        calibrations


    Senior Staff, Elton

  * ACC will try to run with 4 of 5 compressors for south CHL
      o likely will result in more trips
