GlueX PID Meeting, October 15, 2010
Minutes

      * FSU: Sasha Ostrovidov
      * JLab: Eugene Chudakov, Hovanes Egiyan, Mark Ito, Rory Miskimen,
        Elton Smith, Tim Whitlatch, Beni Zihlmann


Review of last minutes from the last meeting

    We reviewed the meeting from the [19]October 1st meeting.
      * All 8 PMT's from Hamamatsu have arrived at FSU and seem to work
           + The gain of these six slightly less than first two that were
             received: 2.5-3.5×10^6
      * The splitters Fernando sent to FSU have arrived


Target

      * Refrigerator. We discussed the status of the target refrigerator
        purchase. There is still a question of whether the refrigerator
        identified will be sufficient to support a helium target. Chris
        should be able to turn his attention to this soon, as was his plan.
        We need to review schedule and target in any case.
      * UMass-JLab MOU. Rory plans to be able to focus on this after the
        PrimEx run, which is in progress. The UMass responsibilities are in
        two parts: the target and electronics testing. One undergraduate
        has already been hired to help with testing, another one will be
        hired. The plan is to have the students spend time at JLab with
        Fernando Barbosa to learn the testing procedure and then transfer
        it to UMass.


Time-of-Flight

    Sasha gave a status report on progress at FSU:
      * There is some money to equip the TOF production lab; purchases to
        outfit lab have started.
      * Paul is having some difficulties with 3M buying ESR material in
        sheet; he continues to work on it.
      * Three-counter/six-tube testing configuration is up and running.
           + Some mysteries:
                o High incidence of missing TDC and/or ADC's for good
                  trigger.
                o Overflow bits being set in syncronous mode more often
                  than expected.


Status of the MOU

    The FSU-JLab MOU is being reviewed by Alison Lung. The step after that
    is to pass it through the concurrence chain at the Lab.
