07Oct15 run analysis (V Blackmore)

• Alignment analysis coming to a conclusion (F Drielsma); MICE note in preparation
• TOF tracks reconstruction complete (V Blackmore); VB looking at comparison between TOF tracks and tracker tracks on beam basis
• Global tracking analysis in progress (C Rogers); aim is to do fitting in generic B-field and track-by-track comparison for various jobs (tracker fits, magnet alignment, TOF vs tracker...)
• Paper preparation workshop on Monday 8th Feb PC-2016-02-08-papers

Xenon running (J. Nugent, P. Soler)

• Skeleton paper has been prepared. Few modifications proposed.
• Efficiency and response matrix key analysis things for estimating systematic uncertainty; need to understand the procedure by which the matrices can be estimated (MC and Data). Will pull in tracker group et al once they have a better idea of what they need from them.

Cooling demo specification paper (JB Lagrange)

• Non-linear analysis on MC of run 140 MeV/c (C Rogers); few tweaks suggested and rerunning script on other optics settings
• Exchange of geometry files with Durga/JB and getting ready to do a trial reconstruction (D Rajaram)
• Writing up optimisation routines and generating relevant plots (J Pasternak/JB Lagrange)

Other issues

• No detailed run plan for Feb/March run yet; unclear what hardware will be available (today's discussion with hardware postponed)
