Agenda

Updates from Rakitha

Updates from Nickie

Rakitha, Seamus, Dustin, Paul, Guido, Lorenzo, Nickie, Bob, KK, Juliette and Kent

We would like to have a optic calibration run plan with a step by step procedure for commissioning.
- For this, review what happened during last run to improve our run plan
- In last running we saw an asymmetry in rates between two spectrometers as well as discrepancy between simulation and data
We want to generate optics plots for CREX and for inelastic distribution
- For CREX, we have to make sure transverse distribution at the focal plane is within the detector size

It would be nice to have real-time viewer for optics studies in commissioning.
Neutron radiation, the important question to ask is,
- Uniform distribution or 1/R^2 distribution of neutrons in the hall. We can assume that low E neutrons are uniform but high E neutrons drop as 1/R^2. So goal of the next simulation is to verify this claim. Also we want to know whether where neutrons are created is going to matter for radiation on electronics.
- In PREX-I there were considerably amount of neutron radiation generated from the wall as back scattered. See elog-2854
- We want to see the plots generated in elog-2769 and elog-2854 with our new PREX-II collimator
- Lorenzo have done an analysis with dumping electron beam/neutrons into concrete and see neutron production/radiation. He will update when he finds the analysis references.
We have to discuss the cooling issues for our collimator with Engineering (Alan).
