Fissum

WB/KF/SG/BR/AS/JU/LW

o KF presented an overview of the analysis performed so far by
MA: relative cross-section data for 0 < pmiss < 350 MeV/c, which
corresponds to kin A+, C+, D+, E+, and F+.  The pmiss bins are
2 MeV/c for kin A+ through D+, and 4 MeV/c for the other two
kinematics.  Statistical uncertainty is 7% for the overlap
between proton spectrometer angular settings achieved.  Cuts
applied to the data are legacy (+/- 50 mr in theta and phi,
+/- 3.5% in dp) and central waterfoil.  The statistics are clearly
very good.  One further correction will be applied to these
data which are sufficient for MA's Lic thesis -- (electronics
* cpu) deadtime to the coincidence yield and (electronics)
deadtime to the scattered electron singles yield.  Plots of
the data are located at
http://www.jlab.org/~mattias/tmp/relcross_pmiss.ps

o It was decided that in the future, we would divide the data
analysis such that simulation work would (generally) be performed
in Europe, and data analysis would (generally) be performed in
the US.  JU proposed sending a PhD student to Lund to work
on MCEEPing the experiment with KF over a 3-month period in the
fall, and that this PhD student could then spend another 3-month
period at JLab at a later date.  LW has a gentleman's agreement
with Hall A for financial support for a new PhD student to work
on the p-shell analysis at ODU (a generous long-term commitment).
WB is interested in the continuum data, particularly the
2N-correlation ridge in G+/- kinematics, and probably will commit
summer/Master's students to the analysis.  SG has mentioned
previously that MIT may contribute a summer student.  BR has
already performed a large piece of the data analysis (mostly
corrections and calibrations) and will continue to assist
wherever and whenever possible.

o BR suggested the first order of business is to assemble
every piece of information that we can regarding the data
analysis that has been performed to date.  There is presently
some confusion over what has been done and what has not been
done, and exactly how ``finished" the cooked files really are.
KF will contact BR, WH, and RR for summaries of what they did
in terms of analysis, and any other information of interest
that they may be able to provide.  LW has created an analysis
task list that we will cross reference this information against
to get a better idea of what has been done and what needs to be
done.

o WB suggested the e00102 webpages need to be modernized, and
that we should now assemble everything we know (see above) in
a central repository so that everyone uses the same header files,
for example.  It is natural to keep this repository at JLab.
KF will bring the webpages up to date.

o LW announced that a new ODU postdoc will begin in June, and
will spend some time working on this analysis.
