• ADC smearing needs fixing - CH

1.4 Online Displays - MU¶

1.5 Performance¶

• Spacepoint efficiency study - CH, AD
• Bias difference between trackers to be investigate - CH, AD Possibly due to the asymmetric beta

2.4 Hall Probes - MU¶

• Hall probe readout - ensure this is sorted before tracker placed in bore - PH, MU

3. LED: EO¶

• Finish main flasher unit - EO, CMacW
• Make documentation mapping LEDs to areas of tracker illuminated - EO
• Ask KL, AB, DA about whether it would be helpful to fit LED into TOF to help our timing - EO

4. Tracker lab - AB, GB, CM¶

• CM wants to use tracker lab to store tracker equipment currently spread around RAL
• Move cryostat to go back to tracker lab. - CM

5. Installation¶

• Integration Schedule
