Present: Aihong, Jim, Flemming, Yuri, Gene, and myself

== Hardware

— water leak when pole tip was closed

— pole tip was re-opened

— no voltage was on and the leak has been capped

— pole tip has been closed again

— magnet testing to come

== Electronics

— Tonko still needs to run pulses calibration

— will do once magnet testing and crash testing are done next week

== Software

— Work on SC

— R. T. will be departing in a couple months

— Gene will handle what he can but work will mostly be on hold until someone arrives

— last few jobs of pp500 dE/dx calibration done

— Yuri has already started work on it

— need confirmation that dE/dx for run 21 3.85 GeV FXT data is ready

— Yuri believes that’s done but will cross check and notify

— Yuri sees lower dE/dx resolution 7.5-8% (usually around 5%) in pp500

— investigating

— Yuri continuing work on GMT

— checking alignment using cosmics and data from 2019-2024

— some discrepancy, but need to understand why

— KFParticle PR (no VC files)

— originally could not pass GitHub compilation test

— has been sorted-out (was Root6 implementation problem)

— PR has been accepted

— also problem due to missing flag with packages not in PR

— nightly test build was stopped

— will be discussion at collaboration meeting next week
