Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2018/05/30

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.
