2015-07-28 Physics coordinator report¶

Beamline

• VB has been asked to report at the analysis meeting on Thursday

Tracker alignment (no field)

• Chris Hunt has produced residuals; compare well with MC
• Note still no PID available from MAUS; analysis group working on dumb cuts solution for now

Tracker alignment (field)

• Rogers has produced residuals; but some problem with the raw data - looks like cabling issue. Tracker group to generate new cabling and calibration files and data will need to be reprocessed. Highlights need for better online plots.

2015/02

• First planning meeting tomorrow.

MICE Demonstration of Ionisation Cooling

• The 140 MeV/c optics did not look so good, with poor transmission; JB and JPa are looping back through it.
• Seek to ramp Strathclyde on doing alignment and tolerances and then looking at alternate optics solutions.
