Minutes of the E00-102 Meeting

Fissum

KF/WH/BR/AS/LW

o the goal of this meeting was to outline the project status, 
  and develop a plan-of-attack for the coming months.

o Wendy summarized the current status of the data analysis,
  and provided an overview of the substantial progress she
  has made during the recent weeks.  The optics work has been 
  finished, and the spectrometer mispointing has been tracked 
  through the data.  Thus, completed header files are now 
  available for analyzing each and every kinematics.  She also 
  reported that she has a batch script working.  This script 
  pulls a run from the SILO and then pumps it through ESPACE 
  on the farm machines to generate a raw data .hbook file.  
  She has replayed all of kinematics A through E in this manner, 
  and is presently working on kinematics F.  She also reported 
  that the script John Arrington wrote to filter coincidence 
  data out of the raw data .hbook files no longer works, so 
  this will need to be checked out.  Finally, she concluded 
  by saying that she has finished her substantial MCEEP 
  modifications, so that both SNAKE and COSY spectrometer 
  models exist within her version of the simulator.  This 
  MCEEP modification will be incorporated into the standard
  version of MCEEP and released to the general Hall A public 
  sometime in the near future.

o we then shifted to developing an outline of the tasks we 
  intend to individually pursue in the near future.  
  
  Wendy will continue to generate the raw data .hbook files.
  The goal is to have all these ready and available for data
  quality checks by early March 2003.  Further, she will start 
  to look at the phase space overlap between the +/- kinematics, 
  and also to track the H(e,e) cross sections measured by HRSl.

  Mattias will finish his coursework and write and defend his 
  Licentiate thesis.  The goal is to have these projects 
  finished by mid-February 2003, so that by early March, he 
  will again be working full-time on the data analysis.

  Kevin will continue to work on the E89003 PRC article.  Recall
  the goal for submitting this paper was Xmas 2002.  This goal 
  will not be met due to the large influx of new theoretical
  work that will be included.  He will also develop the MCEEP 
  input decks for the `as-run' experiment, as a first step 
  towards recreating the experiment in software.

  Larry will work closely with Wendy to develop a series of 
  cross checks for determining the quality of the individual 
  data runs, and thus delete all suspect runs from the raw data
  .hbook set.  He will investigate porting some Hall B tools
  presently used for this purpose into the Hall A environment.

  Bodo is very busy with other projects, but will happily 
  provide software tools for the data analysis (and the 
  requisite tutorials) whenever possible.

  Arun will help with the PRC article.

o by mid-March, we hope to have our data quality checks 
  completed, our `good runs' selection performed, and have 
  started extracting the coincidence data for detailed 
  analysis.

o Note that Wendy will present the experiment status report at 
  the HAC meeting next week.
