<h3><span class="mw-headline"
id="Calibration_and_Efficiency">Calibration and
Efficiency</span></h3>
<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.
