sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[woody <woody AT bnl.gov>]

Dear All,
   The abstract deadline for CALOR 2018 is rapidly approaching and we 
should start to think about submitting one or more abstracts to this 
conference. It's the main conference on calorimetry in particle physics 
(which includes us....) and we should definitely have a showing there. 
Here's the conference link: http://calor2018.uoregon.edu/

   We should have some preliminary results from the current test beam 
run at Fermilab by the time of the conference, and while we will 
obviously need to be careful what we say about the results by then, we 
should be able to have something to show. The problem is that the 
conference dates overlap completely with our CD-1 review, so whoever 
goes will have to be someone who doesn't have to be at the review. I 
should also mention that during the Director's Review, Jay Marx said he 
was expecting us to show some results from the test beam at the CD-1 
Review, so we do have some motivation to have some results by that time. 
And oh, by the way, no pressure there...

Cheers,
Craig
