JS:

  • Working on different visualisers for tutorials.
  • Tried using Google visualisation package (the name of which escapes us...).
  • Waiting on information from Tony Price on Geant4 visualisation: SJ will chase up...

ABF:

  • Detector simulations now include hexagonal module and Clatterbridge nozzle collimator.
  • Trying to pin down origin of non-Gaussian shape of ADC peak from Clatterbridge data:
    • Background measurements do show low energy peak but nothing at high energies.
    • Low energy peak slightly reduced due to absorption in 4cm PMMA.
    • Using Matthieu's latest simulations with 2mm collimator does show a non-Gaussian shape on main peak but not large enough.
  • RS suggests putting an angle on the collimator in MH's simulations to check the effect.
  • Also modifying mylar thickness to

RS

  • Still working with Hamamatsu to provide PMT for single module:
    • Supply last dynode stages in PMT from 2 HV PSUs.
    • Concern over no limiting resistor between HV and dynode...

MH

  • Welcome back!
  • Courses start next week: will add in some Medical Physics courses.
  • Will look into rerunning Clatterbridge simulations to provide input for Anastasia:
  • Split beamline into 3 sections:
    • Up to 1st collimator (doughnut).
    • Between doughnut and stopper.
    • After stopper.

LK:

  • Transfer talk almost finished: ready for inspection...

JS:

  • Updated and corrected all Geant4 tutorials.
  • SJ to create a page for Eclipse tutorials.
  • Will take over from Matthieu running Clatterbridge simulations...
