			'''SJ''':
			* Spoke to '''Stewart Boogert''' from RHUL at IPAC about '''BDSIM''':
			** BDSIM acts as a wrapper for '''Geant4''' but with accelerator component import.
			** BDSIM also provides its own CAD import that is superior to Geant4.
			** Stewart has imported Clatterbridge CAD model into BDSIM.
			* Also spoke to '''Jacinta Yap''' at PTCOG:
			** Will carry out a thorough measurement programme of Clatterbridge beamline over the summer to confirm locations of all components and magnet currents.

	'''MH''':		'''MH''':
	* ~~Finished writing documentation for simulation~~.		* Reading papers on pCT from '''Charles-Antoine Collins-Fekete'''.
	* ~~Working~~ on ~~next coursework and CDT group project.~~		* Focussing on theory of reconstruction:
	* ~~Jacinta Jap would like~~ to ~~know~~:		** Methods to deal with Multiple Coulomb Scattering: most use similar Most Likely Path reconstruction.
	**~~Where are the beam parameters used in the Clatterbridge simulation from?~~		** Lots of information on fast reconstruction: will skip until after benchmarking.
	*** '''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.~~		* Also working on getting '''Simon Rit's''' pCT reconstruction code using '''RTK''':
	** ~~Who wrote~~ the ~~MCNPX simulation?~~		** Managed to compile for the first time this morning!
	*** '''SJ''' ~~only recalls Colin Baker using MCNPX~~.		** Depends on '''Gate''' for simulations.

	'''LK''':		'''LK''':
	* Sucessfully converted CAD model to a GDML file.		* '''Claus Schmitzer''' replied with 3 potential projects:
	* Asks if he should import it into the simulation before the report is due (deadline is 26 March)?		** MAPTA Development shifts to investigate Accelerator upgrades
	** '''SJ''' ~~suggests~~ to ~~work on it until Monday 19 March and focus~~ on ~~writing report from then onwards.~~		** Carbon commissioning Efforts
	** '''JS''' knows what steps are required, only needs to ~~implement them~~.		** NCR efforts on Proton tomography
	** '''MH''' suggests getting rid of beamline definition in DetectorConstruction, import GDML file and reintroduce any missing elements one by one for ~~easier debugging~~.		* Need to check insurance status for travel to Austria.
			* Still working on analysis for range calorimeter.
