Present: Flemming, Alexei, Tonko, Yuri, Tommy, Mike, Gene, and myself

== Hardware

— continuing to clean holes for survey

— building 3D sensor for TPC displacement measurement

— no measurement possible until March or April due to construction

== Electronics

— see slide from Tonko (sent to TPC list)

— expectation is everything will be done, including debugging and verifying, by March, 2023

— includes rewrite of FPGA firmware, rewrite of DAQ framework, and new cluster finder

— note that verification of TPX will require tracking (deconvoluting stage)

— should be done within next 2 weeks 

— cannot spend time on discrepancies in embedding right now, will be revisited later

— hardware should be done earlier, by end of January

— current hardware work (RDO repair, etc.) is proceeding slowly

— requests will be made regarding how to adjust the scheduling

== Software

— Yuri and Tommy investigating embedding

— checks have been done for Runs 18 and 19

— software commits have been made

— some issue with backward compatibility

— one line of code should fix

— similar problem to be addressed in Run 17

— work on dE/dx model continues

— Irakli continuing alignment work for Run 21
