Present: Alexei, Yuri, Gene, Flemming, Tommy, Prashanth, and myself

== Hardware

— 3D sensor installed on west side 

— glue is now dry, need to install wire

— expect a couple hundred microns accuracy

— poletip to be install Monday or Tuesday next week

— now shorts detected so far

== Electronics

— Tonko is done with checking west side electronics

— waiting for poletip installation for final check 

— if check is okay will wait for run

— testing will occur at regular intervals 

— all RDOs on east have been checked

— some FEEs remain to be checked and possibly replaced

— Tonko working on PC programming for DAQ speed-up work

== Software

— Gene found a workaround for SC and GL calibration jobs

— Babu paused dAu work to work on O+O

— RFF and FF OO calibrated as of Tuesday evening

— large calibration production will be ready to go shortly (once values are in dB)

— Richard will reach out to Irakli to ask about alignment work (CC Gene)

— Yuri working on understanding differences between data and simulation timing tails

— simulation tails are longer than in data

— using 2009 data (with no shaper)

— Also working on data from survey group

— Yuri may be out for a couple weeks 

— Gene will be out week after next

— Tommy presented work on discrepancies between online and offline clusters

— shows comparison of clusters found by online and offline

— seems online CF is merging some clusters that offline finds separately

— one possibility mentioned is that dead pad mask may make a difference in how potential clusters are connected

— Tommy will post slides to TPC list

== AOB

— nothing new for this week

Best Regards,
