sPHENIX HCal discussion

["Boose, Stephen" <boose AT bnl.gov>]

Edward,

 

Boy do I hate to take on the job of spoiler but here goes …

 

Sal was asked to look over some of the fibers and while they look fine on the source end, the fibers at the tile end stick out of the connectors and are rough cut at a 45 degree angle. It looks like the cut and polish procedure was skipped. If that’s true it would certainly explain any observed disparities in tile illumination.

 

I hope this is a misunderstanding on my part.

Stephan, I am usually a spoiler and always able to find something forgotten like muon data with two sectors on top of each other. But this time - what the correct word - kudos!

And we are ready to build the cradle - right.

Dear HCal friends,

I’d like to share the good news that as of tonight, 16 out fo 32 oHCal sectors have been assembled, tested, and have cosmics calibration data taken.  In other words:  halfway done!
This has truly been a collaborative effort with many, many people contributing, from numerous institutions.  It’s been a real pleasure seeing the detector come together like this.
Way to go, oHCal, and way to go, sPHENIX!

Regards,
Stefan
