h2. Actions
10
11
* ACTION  *(Pasternak/Rogers)*: determine magnetic settings routine - do we imagine "equivalent coil"? Implement iron in MAUS(!)? Run everything through OPERA?
12
* ACTION *(Rogers)*: Tolerances - controls people ask what are the tolerances on magnet current
13

Solenoid fields off triggers at TOF1 44000 TOF2 1000 
80
Solenoid fields on triggers at TOF1 53000 TOF2 43000
81
=> 3 % rate scaling; but run with TOF2 trigger; so limit comes from ISIS/target
82
120 triggers per spill with the Decay Solenoid at TOF1, not including tracker deadtime
83
Jaroslaw notes attempt to optimise was not successful

85
Physics shifter
86
* Seek to get the physics devil automated
87
88
Beamline
89
* Validated calibration
90
* Checked some old settings
91
* Made two additional settings to match to diffuser
92
* Made two additional settings to optimise for "straight tracks"
93
* Seeking to validate MC
94
95
EMR Papers
96
* Review next week (Tuesday)

Pion contamination
99
* See slides
100
* Feldman-Cousins?
101
** Frequentist method based on likelihood ratio; can deal in an automatic way with statistical results that fall outside of physically allowed; determines upper limit or two sided; 
102
** Paul Soler suggests alternatively use Bayesian method (e.g. Higgs papers)
103
104
MDIC
105
* Final coil positions by MAP meeting
106
* Use IPAC paper as starting point for PR-ST AB paper

Error Fields
109
* Slide 4: cusps come from the mesh
110
* Slide 4: symmetry point is at -2.75; tracker is at around -4.75 to -5.75
111
* Few * 10^-4 T in the tracker azimuthal
112
