  • 140 - 240 MeV/c
  • 3, 6, 10 nominal beams
  • LiH, LH2, wedge

• Official MC to be used

• GitHub: https://github.com/pfranchini/MICE-systems-performance-paper

• LaTex structure: https://github.com/pfranchini/MICE-systems-performance-paper/blob/master/Systems-performance.pdf

---

• TOF: agreed on the outline of the contribution. 3-4 pages.

• Ckov: photoelectron vs momentum curves to be reproduced.

• KL: first draft in place. To be refined/rebalanced once we have the other contributions.

• EMR: include low level efficiency and PID to reject positrons.

• Tracker: agreed on 5 pages
  • 1 page hardware
  • 2 pages low level recon
  • 2 track selection/kalman, noise, efficiency and resolution
    A lot of analysis material is ready (and easily adapted from 7469). The noise analysis has never been formalised and may require few more time.

• PID: Scott has updated the software framework.

• Track matching:

• Absorber model: LH2 absorber validation stands. Waiting from Colin for measurements done for the safety case.

Agreed to show a first version of the plots during the imminent Warwick workshop.

• Next meeting: Warwick workshop, Friday 15th May 1.00 pm
