PAC Results

We were approved. See Ashot's email message.

Presentation Sharing

Ashot urged us to all post Powerpoint versions of our talks on in a secure web area for use by the collaboration.

Energy and Position Resolution Study

Liyang showed some nice results (Powerpoint) from studies he has done recently. He uncovered a feature in the snake scan data where the well-known modulation of the reconstructed position distribution of a true uniform distribution acquires an extra fluctuation at the edge of the modules, both for the crystal and the glass.

Ashot remarked that Liyang and Ilya should get together to work on the detector paper.

Near-Term Plans

We discussed items that the collaboration should turn to in the next little while.

Liping reminded us that we need to turn back to our reviews of the various analysis notes in preparation for publishing a result this spring.

Ashot reported that Ilya is working on different combinations of kinematic constraints in his π0 analysis.

Ashot suggested that the various analysis teams should try to reproduce the results of the others, usinhg the same technique as the others as a cross check for both the π0 and the Compton analyses.

Travel Plans

  • Sergey leaves next week.
  • Ilya leaves in May
  • Xinqiao plans to be back in February.
