JLab Hall-D Meeting  Nov. 17,2004


Attendees: Elton S., Elliott W., Dave D., Vladimir, Curtis M.,
  Simon T., David L., Ravi A., Paul B.
  
  

Agenda:
- procurements mou (Elliott)
- FDC moving and simulation (Simon)
- Budget for 12 GeV R&D (Simon and Curtis)
- any updates on solenoid assessment (Paul)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Elliott: IU for scintillators and 

Elton: 12GeV upgrade procurement. We discussed ordering some
electronics for Hall-D which could be used for R&D in the near term
by the FDC and CDC R&D efforts. We discussed whether we should buy
F1 or CAEN TDCs. Probably the F1s. With 4-6 modules and 1 VME crate
will come to $25k-$30k.

Simon: FDC test setup is moving from EEL to Testlab annex. Area 
in testlab looks like it is about ready (power is installed
with transformer). Simon will check with Doug Tilles and  will
start moving things today if it's ready.

HDFast is being used to do MC studies of FDC. Simon has been
digging through the MCFast code to try and understand why so
counter-intuitive results occur as was reported at a previous
meeting.
