Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meeting, 30th May 2018 (D17, Physics & Astronomy, UCL)

Present

Laurent Kelleter, Matthieu Hentz, Simon Jolly

MH:

  • Finished writing documentation for simulation.
  • Working on next coursework and CDT group project.
  • Jacinta Jap would like to know:
    • Where are the beam parameters used in the Clatterbridge simulation from?
      • SJ obtained Excel spreadsheet of Twiss parameters from Hywel Owen. As the scattering perturbs the beam a lot the shape should not be crucial. Making sure the energy is right is more important.
    • Who wrote the MCNPX simulation?
      • SJ only recalls Colin Baker using MCNPX.

LK:

  • Sucessfully converted CAD model to a GDML file.
  • Asks if he should import it into the simulation before the report is due (deadline is 26 March)?
    • SJ suggests to work on it until Monday 19 March and focus on writing report from then onwards.
    • JS knows what steps are required, only needs to implement them.
    • MH suggests getting rid of beamline definition in DetectorConstruction, import GDML file and reintroduce any missing elements one by one for easier debugging.
