sPHENIX HCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Thanks to the many people who worked on the design and construction of 
the calorimeters and the 32 collaborators who spent time at Fermilab, 
T-1044 is now complete and in boxes which will are scheduled to be 
shipped back to BNL tomorrow as you can see at the end of the album:

The data are here

> /sphenix/data/data01/t1044-2016a/fnal

and there is a list of runs with some basic information in allt1044* in 
various (csv, sqlite, root) formats, and much more information in the Wiki:

There are also some updates to spreadsheet where we kept configuration 
data about the detector (version 5):

There is still much work to be done, and I have asked Ron Belmont, Megan 
Connors, Jin Huang, Vera Loggins, and Abhisek Sen to be co-chairs of a 
writing commitee that will write a technical paper describing the 
detector, the simulation, and the results of the beam test for 
publication later this year. Please give them the support they will need 
to fully document all the things we have learned from this prototype and 
will continue to learn in the coming weeks.

If there is any doubt about the success of this beam test, here is a 
movie of the calorimeter ascending into heaven:

Thanks again to everyone who worked on this, spending nights and 
weekends preparing for it, taking the data, and understanding it.
