physics coordinator report¶

• Step I papers:-
  • (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", conflict that Warwick + Glasgow both want to do MCS, no one wants dE/dx
• 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, rogers to phone Melissa
  • 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 (hardware) request an activation run
  • Beamline (optics) not sure
  • Cooling channel first data may at some point come through, not sure
