              <p>Mahmoud reported on a couple of items.
              </p>
              <ul>
                <li> He has performed a "piece-wise" fit of time
                  resolution as a function of z to be used in smearing.
                  Results have been sent to Sean Dobbs.</li>
                <li> He has also done further work on the comparison of
                  efficiency between simulation and data. Those results
                  have also been sent to Sean.</li>
              </ul>
              <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="NIM.2FTDR">NIM/TDR</span></h3>
              <p>Mahmoud has been working on re-generating plots for the
                NIM paper using <a rel="nofollow" class="external text"
                  href="https://matplotlib.org/">matplotlib</a>. These
                give the plots a look much more appropriate for
                publication than the raw ROOT-generated plots. Hopefully
                he will be done by next week and a draft of the paper
                can be circulated within the Collaboration.
