Emittance measurement paper¶

• Referees meeting planned for Tuesday did not happen - VB was pulled off the paper on to other things so cancelled (MOM, IC stuff)
• Paper is at risk of being overtaken by other analyses
• Meeting with KL and VB on Wednesday to seek a way forward

Emittance reduction paper - Rogers will work @ 50 % effort; 100 % contingency is appropriate¶

• Refactor analysis routines to deal with more data (30 hours)
• Add downstream cuts for badly reconstructed events and decays (20 hours/12 hours)
• Improved PID cut (6 hours)
• Analysis of apertures (40 hours)
• Event selection to get a matched beam (40 hours)
• Tidy up uncertainty analysis (40 hours)
  • Second pass on the general approach
  • Field magnitude in tracker region
  • Effect of uncertainty in tracker alignment to field
• Improved amplitude calculation - beam ellipse calculation separate to amplitude calculation (10 hours)
• MC Uncertainties (geometry/densities, fields) (40 hours)

Jobs I am not planning to do, subject to referees

• Beam-based magnet alignment and magnitude (this is a paper in itself)
• Running COMSOL to validate Hall probes in tracker region; and comparison with the field mapping data (this is a paper in itself)
• TOF systematic uncertainty is probably at 100-200 ps level; but it is only used for PID and validation

Scattering paper - Nugent¶

• Update Note (new round of plots) - 1 week
• Moliere model comparison - 1 week
• Implement P correction - 1 week
• More detailed exposition of maths in MICE note - 1 week
• Validation of TOF reconstruction - 1 week

• Reprocess data with MAUS v2.9.0 (Durga et al)
• Build MC with MAUS v2.9.0 (Durga et al)
