Proton Calorimetry/Meetings/2021/11/10

Minutes for UCL Proton Calorimetry Meetings, 10th November

Simon Jolly, Saad Shaikh, Raffaella Radogna

Delivered presentation on UCLH November 2nd beam test.
- Need to double-check WET calculations of white sheets against black sheets.
- Will fit around Bragg peak to see if results improve.
- Will fit Bortfeld curve to reference data to fix R0 and sigma, to then vary Birks' constant for PDL fit.
- Worth investigating varying sheet density to see if WET calculation is correct.
Will provide Matt with pin-outs for FMC connector to get FPGA code ported for Rev. C boards.
- Will then need to port code for USB104 for both PMOD and ZMOD interfaces.
Naoki Kimura has experience with FPGA curve fitting. Will meet with him tomorrow to discuss further and share fitting code.
Will need to simulate detector geometry with photodiodes in GEANT4 to see if PDL is consistent.
Need to create presentation for FRPT.
