* Working on plotting 3D dose distribution from patient QA detector in ROOT.
* Poster finished for [http://www.pprig.co.uk PPRIG]:
* Successfully plotted 3D data: now need to plot 2D intensity distribution side by side.
** Main poster plot comparing intensity just needs a few tweaks.
* Will attempt to alter plots to convert from energy to range.
** Will change colour map and rearrange plot.
* Put together rough draft of poster for [http://www.pprig.co.uk PPRIG].
** '''SJ''' will attempt to produce poster plot in Matlab.
* Need to verify whether poster needs to be printed: '''SJ''' has emailed '''Charles-Antoine Collins Fekete''' and '''Russell Thomas'''.

* Completed To Do list and organised completed tasks by month.
* Caen HV now working over ethernet:
* Contacted Caen to connect HV supply via ethernet: USB working but not ethernet.
** Only works via telnet.
* Has Nikon D7500 camera: will install software on DAQ laptop.
** Macs need telnet copied from pre-High Sierra OS.
* Installed software for Nikon D7500 camera.
* Organised cabling, electronics and scintillators into storage boxes.

* Updated summary of photodiode calculations.
* Finished progress report: will submit today.
** References [https://www.hamamatsu.com/eu/en/product/optical-sensors/photodiodes/si-photodiodes/index.html Hamamatsu Si photodiode datasheets].
* Need to extract information from progress report to update presentation.
* Will look up texts on CT scanner technology:
* Will recheck minimum and maximum signal currents from photodiode and contact Hamamatsu to confirm.

  • Will contact Laurie Nevay to get started with Clatterbridge BDSIM simulation.
  • Will write up notes on all problem solving and include it in the ELog.

Saad Shaikh

  • Poster finished for PPRIG:
    • Main poster plot comparing intensity just needs a few tweaks.
    • Will change colour map and rearrange plot.
    • SJ will attempt to produce poster plot in Matlab.
  • Need to verify whether poster needs to be printed: SJ has emailed Charles-Antoine Collins Fekete and Russell Thomas.

Raffaella Radogna

  • Caen HV now working over ethernet:
    • Only works via telnet.
