Minutes

  • Elham: pion detector simulations with moller and pion generator
    • Effect of moving lucite detector inwards has a smaller effect than increasing donut outer radius on the pi/e photo-electron rate
      • Combination of 26 cm lead donut, with shorter (6cm) and shifted lucite (same inner edge of lucite) gives good result
    • Changing concrete and lead radial and longitudinal thickness independently:
        • lead has most impact, but thinner lead at larger radial extent is also good
    • Showermax mirror box bug fixed and wall thickness reduced
      • no effect on ratios
    • Reduce thickness off donut support flanges from 0.75" to 0.01"
      • no effect on ratios
  • Raj: pion detector simulations with beam generator
    • rates consistent with moller generator results from Elham
    • but photo-electron rates appear consistent with zero
