Present: Alexei, Tommy, Gene, Jim, Yuri, and myself

== Hardware

— working with magnetometer

== Electronics

— same 4 RDOs out in the iTPC

— 8.1, 9.4, 10.3, 12.1, and 12.2

== Software

— Run 24 

— gating grid transparency test was conducted

— got to 5.6 kHz, ultimately 7.8 kHz

— previous calculations show around 10 kHz should show transparency effects

— early result shows no change in SC up to 7.8 kHz

— cosmics with open gating grid show distortions, so 

— Run 22 SC

— calibration production is running, 3338 runs from Run 22 (247 fills)

— about 30% have finished as of yesterday morning

— so far can see different categories of runs with different SC behaviors

— next week will calibrate fill-by-fill and prepare for 2nd pass

— Alignment work with cosmics from last 5 years

— trying to sort problems with Run 22 due to short

— FF and RFF differences due to different accounting of short (too many dB entries)

== AOB

— Nothing new reported this week

Best Regards,

  Richard
