sPHENIX HCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

I heard back from Mandy about the possibility of a few more days of 
running the combined calorimeters in the test beam, and there are two 
possible periods where we would have largely unfettered access to the beam:

1- May 11-13 (this weekend)
2- May 18-20 (next weekend)

We would have the beam to ourselves for 24 hours a day, and they would 
take the upstream Si telescope out of the beam.  Very good conditions 
for us.

We would use this period to complete the combined EMCAL/HCAL running 
including switching to the uninstrumented aluminum IHCAL frame.

I think I can be there for this; I would need help to get through 24 
hour running, and in talking it over with John Lajoie, he may be able to 
persuade some students to come, so here's a Doodle poll for anyone who 
might be able to work on this:

I understand it's (again) a last minute request (now during Quark 
Matter), but I think it's worth trying to finish these measurements (or 
at least get them on disk).
