minutes from the last meeting</span></h3>
<p>We went over the <a href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/wiki/index.php/HDGeant4_Meeting,_May_4,_2021#Minutes" title="HDGeant4 Meeting, May 4, 2021">minutes from the
meeting on May 4th</a> without much comment. </p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="FCAL_Calibration">FCAL
Calibration</span></h3>
<p>Igal reports that the PrimEx working group is going to
develop a scheme to calibrate Monte Carlo in the same
way as data is calibrated, using π<sup>0</sup>s. In this
way they hope to help explain the effect seen by Andrew
Schick, where the elasticity for Bethe-Heitler events
comes out 4 to 5% lower than unity in the data. Lubomir
applies an energy correction for electrons from 6 to 11
GeV in the J/ψ analysis, likely to compensate for the
same effect. </p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="FDC_Efficiency">FDC
Efficiency</span></h3>
<p>Lubomir showed a plot demonstrating that there is not a
lot of dependence on threshold in the shape of the hit
efficiency as a function of DOCA. The overall level of
efficiency does vary, but it may be adequate to use a
representative shape for the efficiency and scale it
based on comparison with data for use in simulation. </p>
<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Charged_Hadrons_and_the_BCAL">Charged Hadrons and
the BCAL</span></h3>
<p>Tegan obtained a significant, if not overwhelming,
yield on his simulation of a million events each for G3
and G4 on the JLab farm using using software from
analysis launch version 38. He flashed several of the
resulting plots from those <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://halldweb.jlab.org/doc-private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=4878">posted
on the DocDB</a>. He will contact Richard Jones to
transmit the results and plan the next steps. </p>
