Agenda

  1. Silviu: Ca target update: hapLog3380
    • SC: ideal Ca target with the current design will sit well below the critical temperature (SR: 600K is where a phase transition happens)
    • KP: the thermal conductivity may not be ideal for our target. Should we contemplate a measurement of the conductivity? CP: could we re-run the simulation with a material with the conductivity of CaO? SC: will do
    • KP: could we answer the question in the ERR regarding how fast the ramp can be? SC: study already done and will look into it
  2. Seamus - First order window analysis ELOG 3378 and HRS Transport Functions
    • SR: matched SNAKE to homebrewed code with raytracing for both CREX and PREX
    • SR: tech note in haplog 2245 from Kiad. Page 9 shows that after calibrations you don’t get a great resolution with the H20 target. Use this as a baseline for the multiple scattering. KP: 0.35MeV is the width
    • RM: 10mils Al is on the margin, 40 would be better. SR: 1.2 mrad would lead to 1MeV width
    • SR: would like to request people to proof-read this elog entry. Also we should implement in G4 simulation (Tyler). RM: will try to go through this because I already have the matrix elements.
    • RM: if we don’t need to have vacuum connection it would be easier for installation. However it seems that the calculation indicates we can’t afford more than 10mils Al window.
    • KK: we should communicate to them in terms of radiation lengths.
    • SR: we could do a 2GeV pointing measurement for PREX (with the CREX) configuration. KP: we may want to do more pointing measurements for drifting — maybe run 2 GeV then PREX then CREX —.
  3. Estimates of effect of vacuum coupling for PREX/CREX (Bob) haplog:3379
    • RM: this was just to try to complete what Seamus had, but it looks like he makes a good enough description.
  4. Status of G4HRS simulation (Tyler)
    • TK: septum and HRS fields are implemented correctly. Added some flexibility to the implementation.
    • TK: will implement detectors to be able to get tracks from G4.
    • RM: are you using matrix elements? TK: will compare what G4 does to the matrix element output.
  5. Kent: Radiation issues
    • KP: Lorenzo is implementing PREX geoemtry in his FLUKA sim and CG will start working on this with RadCon
    • KP: would be interested in looking at how difference E of neutrons impact activation for shielding
    • KP: haplog 3377: concluded that effective improvement from using plastic or concrete is about 2. We should probably go with concrete or poly over the top.
    • KP: CG should go talk to Pavel D. about concrete or poly.
