Meeting Agenda:
1) roundtable: updates/progress?
-> redux EEMC geometry, decoder, tests - all
* fyi: latest geometry/validation

* fyi:SMD orientation reconciliation
http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/get/emc2/3318.html
* how to get on with MC tests?
- additional info/work needed (e.g., next)
* decoder issues
http://www.star.bnl.gov/HyperNews-star/protected/get/starsimu/391.html

Minutes
Q = question
A = answer
C = comment
Try to identify speaker as I am able.
Filtering
Will Q: News on filtering?
Michael A: Waiting for Victor - not until after collaboration meeting.
EEMC Geometry
Will Q: Any updates since yesterday?
Jason A: Looked at some other layers and no obvious problems.
Will Q: Is number of volumes stable?
Jason A: Think so. Yes.
Will Q: What is polystyrene on both sides of tower megatiles?
Hal A: Was there in original geometry.
Jim, etc. C: Might be trying to mockup other material in wrapper. Aluminum, Kevlar, Tyvek faces
forward. Front plastic 0.15 mm back 0.55 mm.
Jason A: Delay until virtual Monte Carlo? Change would require 2 additional volumes because now
tile is stuck in a large volume of polystyrene.
Jim C: Delaying sounds fine.
Scott Q: Does everyone agree SMD correct?
Will A: Yes.
Jim A: Agree.
Will C: Please double check.
Will Q: How do we move on with testing?
Jason A: Will send email to Victor. Same problem with having to wait until after collaboration
meeting.
Ilya C: Might be able to fix decoder. Email sent to starsimu.
Jason C: I have not looked over code in great detail.
Will C: Maybe ask TOF folks.
Jason C: I think simulations group has control of this.
Jim C: Frank worked on TOF.
Hal C: Also HFT.
Will Q: What tests do we want?
Will A: Have to look at everything.
Michael C: You can do tests now with Geant.
Ilya C: Would have to write new code.
Jason C: I have code to get sampling fraction straight from Geant.
Will C: We care about SMD. Not worth extra work.
AOB
Will Q: Alice what about gamma+jet code?
Alice A: Code from 3 people. Will look at next week.
