Nov. 1/05 2pm Board Rm. present: DFOT, CD, DH, AP,??, JP, AH, ??, LB, CR, CV, JDA, MMP, DF, GR, PM HARDWARE -------- - IRIS was deemed useful, so it'll stay in (for now ?) - DFOT to replace a linear slide, including meachanical stops to limit motion and a counter to register turns. - JDA asked whether IRIS can be removed and replaced with a blank. DFOT will look into it REPORT from 989 --------------- * AP summarizes October run (attached) - JDA would like to see an estimate of Mg resonance strength as a check - highlights weird drop in gamma rate (attached) > correleated with separator and preseparator > CR states that Pierre thought it must be the triplet - gain shifted when DSSSD when cooled to -10C not sure why. - showed result of triggering with TRILIS pulse (attached) - showed yield from 201 keV/u run based only on DRAGON tof - off resonance at 225.7, see nothing * JDA asked how good resonance energy was measured: DH answered 1-2 KeV * goal now : PRL - discussion about what to do with summer run. DH commented that present run 'worth' 5X the summer run in terms of confidence Jac's Na22 collection run E1027 -------------------------------- * faraday cup 'bent back' * coil cooled down * estimated that only one target will be made due to low currents - will run until 7:30a Nov 2/05 Ideas for E1024 --------------- * CV showed yield curve wrt Elab from last run (attached) - yield looks larger below big resonance peak compared to above, contrary to published data - CV would like to do a high res run with a thin target * two weeks until the run (Nov 17-->) * an (unwanted) discussion about Ca targets ensued. JDA reports on his travels to NuPac, and SPIRAL 2, and ORNL -------------------------- meeting adjourned 3:01pm
