sPHENIX HCal discussion

["Hodges, Anthony" <ahodges4 AT illinois.edu>]

Hi folks, 

We have had no requests for talks as far as I'm tracking, so we will cancel today's calibration meeting and allow everyone to continue working. Our next meeting nominally will be next Monday, May 15th! We'll send out a reminder email on Friday as per usual. 

Work on the calorimeters themselves in 1008, as I understand it, is as follows:

The EMCal is currently working on diagnosing problems seen when running with LED's. We have approximately 6 interface boards that appear to have problems with their bias voltage, and we're trying to investigate, access to the IR permitting. 

The HCal continues to take data (LED, TP, cosmics) and address issues as they come as it has been for the last few check-ins. I believe some intermittent connection issues have surfaced that are currently being worked on. Check back in next week for more details. 

Best, 

-Anthony
