h1. physics coordinator report

* Step I papers:-

** EMR data paper- VC talk, analysis completed and now in "write up" phase

** PID paper:- hung up on reconstruction issues; fixed unpacking has been run

   but ADC response of the KL now looks different. Discussion Monday pm

** (Polarisation analysis - held up by dodgy EMR code)

* Cooling demo paper:

** Secondary absorber did not present sufficient material to the beamline to

   shield the tracker, review of secondary absorber position which has caused

   delay to the paper.

** Tried for a revision this week for review, it didn't work out, hope to have a

   revision by next week

* Step IV papers:

** Status at http://micewww.pp.rl.ac.uk/analysis/analysis_dashboard.html

** Trying to bring material physics people "out of the woodwork"

* Rogers is re-establishing selection/weighting algorithms (dead since 2007)

** aim to drive an analysis of "physics block challenge" before MPB

** feed into review of data rate issues, etc.

* Field mapping

** Blackmore/Cobb have a good analysis of the field axis in the FC, which does not 

   produce the "tails" ruining the fitting, hopeful that SS will follow in time

   for alignment beginning of April 

* March/April running

** Rogers will be physics shifter on March 21st

** Trying to establish physics shifters on March 28th and following

* June running

** Planning note in preparation, due Friday

** Discuss/finalise note at a meeting Thursday 19th

** Tracker will not be able to get plan in time for the meeting

** Beamline (hardware) request an activation run

** EMR request one week data and additionally some cosmics

** C+M request one week

** TOF request calibration (1 or 2 shifts)

** KL request cosmic data taking

** Ckov request 1 shift

** Beamline (optics) not sure

** Cooling channel first data may at some point come through, not sure
