[Jef] [EXTERNAL] Re: Minutes for 3/20/20 JEF meeting

[Zisis Papandreou]

Hi folks:

I know we touched on summer work briefly during our meeting this morning, but here's a question:  is there any activity that can be done in Regina?  I will have students and if we are still under travel restrictions we could think of how to have some of them do JEF tasks:

1)  Computational or analysis jobs are one easy option.  Those can range from the very simple (for new undergraduates) to something more complex for senior undergraduates or grad students.  

2)  I'm trying to think of what hardware tests could be done.  Something on the PMT or dividers?  This would require shipping a few items from JLab to Regina to do detailed tests if needed. This hopefully will not be too difficult to do, considering we have had long-standing MOUs with the lab going back 25 years and we have a standing CRADA with Dew Weinseberger's group and the lab/DOE.  Large-scale, repetitive assembling is not feasible (too much shipping).  We have various setups: UV LEDs, dark boxes, special fiber jigs to illuminate PMT/SiPM and/or calibrated photodiodes (same models as Carl's).  NIM-CAMAC but also Caen 2-channel digitizers.  Power supplies, scopes, picoammeters, etc.  We also have an experienced electronics guy and a good machinist (they are not part of my group I would have to contract/second them form their jobs).

Anyway, if item 2 requires massive paperwork (Sasha, I know you how much love paperwork, but still...) and a huge timeline to get it approved all the way to DOE, then it's not worth it.

So, we are offering our facilities and manpower.  We can probably handle some modest costs internally.

Anyhow, let's think and chat about it.

Cheers, Zisis...
