                <li> The change to make the time-to-distance relation
                  used in HDG3 match that of data (read it from the
                  CCDB) is in the latest tagged version of halld_sim
                  (3.4.0).</li>
                <li> Sean reported that the 5 MeV shift in the 2γ mass
                  he reported last time is not limited to just the BCAL
                  or just the FCAL. Both contribute.</li>

              <p>Thomas presented plots from a <a rel="nofollow"
                  class="external text"
href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=3740">new
                  comparison of 4 GeV, 4 degree protons</a> between HDG3
                and HDG4. The comparison was done with all physics
                processes (multiple scattering, energy loss, delta rays,
                etc.) turned off.

              <ul>
                <li> The good agreement after fixes from Richard for 4
                  GeV protons at 15 degrees, seen after the last round
                  of fixes, stays good in this comparison.</li>
                <li> The disagreement at 4 degrees persists. It is seen
                  in the following plots:
                  <ul>
                    <li> Tracking FOM, wire-based</li>
                    <li> Tracking FOM</li>
                  </ul>
                </li>
                <li> Thomas will work on getting more detailed plots
                  looking at timing distributions.</li>
                <li> Events have not been scanned, as was done in the
                  previous round of corrections.</li>
                <li> HDG3 and HDG4 get their geometry in different ways,
                  with the HDG3 geometry written into auto-generated
                  Fortran code and HDG4 getting it dynamically at run
                  time. We need to check that both are using the same
                  geometry for this comparison. That could explain the
                  difference between 4 and 15 degrees (or not).</li>
                <li> Thomas will create a new GitHub issue based on this
                  study. [Added in press: see <a rel="nofollow"
