Saad Shaikh

• With assistance from the Geant4 forum, implemented a new way of counting photons in simulation, giving more physical results and fixing issues with V11.1 and on Apple Silicon.
  • Opened a new topic on the forum to discuss best way to collect light in photodiodes.
  • Will chase NUVIA for material data, though Ruben suggested there are other people that can be contacted if NUVIA cannot help.
• Stepped in for Simon to give a talk on the QuARC at the MaThRad workshop.
  • Tristan Pryer (from Bath) seemed keen to foster collaboration, specifically on implementing a numerical routine for quenched heavy ion curves.
• Got confirmation from Stan that department will be able to provide 3 months additional funding – plan to submit thesis at the end of June.
  • Submitted examination entry form via Portico and viva nomination form to Stan.
• Will go over Sonia's notes on the QuARC paper tomorrow.
• Making a start on thesis...
