Notes¶

Attendance¶

Adam Dobbs
Chris Hunt
John Nugent
Stefania Ricciardi
Chris Rogers
Sophie Middleton
Chris Heidt
Email updates from: Ryan Bayes, Celeste Pidcott

KL¶

Ckov¶

ACTION DR get Lucien's geometry into MAUS

EMR¶

Notes from CR,VB from the EMR paper discussion, the EMR group aims to have their
code pushed by the end of June. Schedule a review when code is ready to be looked at.

Tracker¶

Calibration interface may move to, or need input from, David Adey

ACTION: Combine PR, Kalman integration test items into one in spreadsheet
ACTION: DR to look at integration tests, see if we need more
ACTION: AD circulate schedule to tracker group and get an update on Kalman

TOF¶

Global¶

CP working on pulling KL and Ckov into PID, requires modifying the datastructure

MC¶

G4BL¶

There is a request to have G4BL decks in the CDB
JN will handle the interface code, JN to see what's in the DB and decide if it needs a new table

Build system¶

Some third party url's are going bad, and for fear of unmaintained servers, want to get MICE-owned third parties
into a common place

Miscellaneous¶

Would like an SL6 box for testing, there are errors showing up on 64-bit SL6 that are masked on SL5.
