              <p>Thomas told us that ML-based online monitoring needs
                experts to label histograms. He has conscripted Beni to
                do so for the Time-of-Flight. The automatic system is
                trained on PNG files from the online monitoring program.
                It is doing well on the FCAL occupancy plots, with a
                false positive rate of less than 2%. Colin Gleason did
                the training for the FCAL in 20 to 30 minutes.

                <li> Mark reported that Tim Whitlatch is going to <b>get
                    a designer</b> (probably Stephanie Worthington) <b>going
                    on Paul's upgrade ideas</b> sometime in the next few
                  weeks.</li>
                <li> On Monday, Mark and Ashley made a <b>tagged
                    release of HDDS</b> with (a) the Lucite shielding,
                  (b) <b>no DIRC,</b> and (c) overlaps resolved. They
                  leveraged Richard Jones additions and corrections to
                  Ashley's initial draft of the shielding. The release
                  was produced by using version 3.13 as a base and
                  importing HDDS XML files from the CCDB for run 41000,
                  i. e., a pre-DIRC run.</li>

              <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Lucite_Shield_Geometry">Lucite

              <p>Ashley ran us through slides from Richard that detailed
                his validation of the shield geometry. He identified and
                performed three classes of verification (slide 4):
              </p>
              <ol>
                <li> alignment verification (look at pictures)</li>
                <li> geometry verification (checks proper embedding,
                  overlaps)</li>
                <li> functional verification (run HDGeant4 and analyze
                  hits)</li>

                obtained from Richard.

                <li> There is a swap in plot positions between the low
                  energy photon simulation. and the coherent
                  bremsstrahlung beam simulation. The former shows the
                  situation with shielding on the left and without
                  shielding on the left. The latter is the reverse.</li>
                <li> The DIRC was present in all simulations.</li>
