[PEPPo] RC summary 2012-06-24 Swing

Peppo production running ended at noon today and a series of systematic 
studies have been taking place since noon.    The BPM pedestal data and 
final PITA scans were completed first off.   This was followed by an 
access to install the "E" counter, a large (but perhaps not large 
enough) plastic scintillator to measure the energy of the positron 
beam.   It was discovered that the E counter pulse height increased with 
lower  beam energy, and then by beam steering.     The present thought 
is that the positron energy is 100% captured by the scintillator, 
perhaps due to the average beam location not quite at the center of the 
detector.

Never the less,  the Fiber Array studies will take place on Owl shift 
and if a larger crystal/scintillator can be found during Monday Day 
shift the energy measurements will resume.   Below is the status of the 
"Systematic Studies" plan as of 20:19 this evening.
