DRAGON meeting 10 Mar 2009

present: DH, CD, LB, PM, KO, GR, UH (rec)

Hardware:
* new VME system:
  - new crate is in
  - 2 ADCs, 1 TDC
  - some special cables needed, half of them are already made
  - new modules are wired into the trigger
  - currently everything goes into both systems
  - KO is working on intergrating the new system into the analysis system
  - create .mid files that look like the old ones

Beamtime:
* test beam time
  - test new VME setup, turn off FERA
  - DH suggests Ne21, resonance at ~768 keV/u

* summer F18
  - distinguishing F18 and O18 will be difficult, T1/2(F18) ~ 110 min
  - TUDA used dE-E in a foil, but this would be difficult to implement at DRAGON
  - use IC for particle ID
