sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[Craig Woody <woody AT bnl.gov>]

Hi John,
  From what I can see from the Wiki it looks like we have a pretty 
complete data set for EMCAL3. As far as I'm concerned, it's fine to take 
it for a ride on the railroad. Also, Sean and Bill have almost got the 
two new blocks ready with the Saint Gobain fibers (along with two of the 
old blocks with the Kuraray fibers). They will come in a box very 
similar to EMCAL3 (maybe we want to call this one EMCAL4....) which we 
will probably want to mount on the 2C table for testing, This may cause 
come problem with having the hodoscope and readout electronics in the 
right place, so we have to think about we want to do that. They're still 
working on getting it together but hopefully it should be out there by 
early next week. I'll be arriving there tomorrow so we can talk more then.

Cheers,
Craig
