sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Martin Purschke <purschke AT bnl.gov>]

Abisek,

I have updated my writeup from last time, but most of it is still the same.

I put it on the Wiki -
https://wiki.bnl.gov/sPHENIX/index.php/2017_calorimeter_beam_test#General_Information_for_2017_Run

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uetruadaiwv2gif/sphenix_notes_2017.pdf?dl=0

Tell me if something doesn't work because I am virtually always on site
and may not see all remote login issues.

If your kerberos passwd is expired, call the helpdesk x2345.
