Minutes of the UVic Testbeam meeting held Friday, March 20 2004
(present: TI, TH, MF, ML, RK)

Margret reported that she is getting set up to go the Geant 4 tutorial at SLAC in March. After some frustrating initial problems, she now has enough software installed on the laptop to be able to run the first exercise.
Her testbeam analysis is a little on hold at the moment until the setup for the tutorial is completed to satisfaction. She still plans to pursue a bit more work on the material runs, following in part some work that was done by T.Carli.

Tayfun had some comments w.r.t. the beam chamber information: The beam chamber information of the Ntuples with the new EMEC weights differs from information in the HEC Ntuples. In order to avoid conflict, take beam information only from the new EMEC files.
One confusing thing in the beam chamber information is the fact that information exists for 5 beam chambers, even though there are only 4 chambers in the beam. It looks a little bit as if two of the 5 entries are almost the same, but they are not exactly the same. This couldn't be resolved during the meeting. Tayfun will contact Naoko and try to find out.

Tamara is back to looking at the timing problems she sees in the EMEC when looking at pion data. She tried to look at data with timing information coming only from the HEC or only from the EMEC. Unfortunately her job-output ran out of space and she will have to re-run things. She also promised to find some 'good' runs for Rob: some high energy runs with TDC working (difficult..., as the TDC was not working most of the time, and the runs for which it was working are mostly low energy runs, or they are runs which we don't have readily available at UVic) and a couple of 'good' runs (one pion, one electron) with TDC not working.
