Minutes

Construction News

    The three counters from McNeal arrived two weeks ago. The package was
    visibly crushed on the outside and one of the counters was in pieces.
    The other two had scratches on the surface. FIU is trying to recover
    the cost from the shipper.

    Testing will proceed with the two scratched counters. Scratches on the
    surface have not necessarily degraded performance in the past and other
    that the counters look good, with well-polished edges.

    FIU is updating the test stand to enable reproducible testing of
    multiple counters as they arrive. They plan to do test with sources and
    with cosmics.

    Eric did not receive the model of the counter from Chuck. Chuck will
    re-send.

Read-Out

    The ST2 board at FIU is damaged. The lemo connector on the PCB is
    broken. Mark will ask Fernando Barbosa to give Eric a call to provide
    guidance on re-soldering.

    Sascha reported that the SiPMs for the start counter are due in the
    middle of November. FIU is interested in getting a read-out board with
    all three channels populated (12 SiPMs).

Contract

    Werner sent a version of the SOW to Mark wihich include a timeline for
    construction.

    Mark has started writing the sole-source justification.
