=Minutes=

* Updates on pion detector studies (Elham)
** Moving showermax out radially in position by 1, 2 cm (configuration with aluminum plate at 56" radius and beyond) increases pi/e in both hits and pes
** TODO: why do the uncertainties look like they don't change with number of events?
** 48.5" hole radius has lower rates than 56" hole radius due to inner slit scattering
** TODO: 3.2 deg tilted, moved out by 2 cm, but with 48.5" hole radius
* Next steps, big picture
** TODO: determine the number of generated Cerenkov photons by running with boundary hits and with optical photon sensitivity on lucite
** TODO: determine rate at virtual plane to determine where PMTs should be placed
** TODO: optimize optical photon collection again
