SDA  meeting Notes - Dec 13, 2004

Attending: Vaia, Tim, Aimin, Jean, Elliott

A. Known Instrumentation problems
     1. MI Horizontal Flying wire is broken
     2. MI pbar FBI timing was adjusted 12-13-04 AM - should be OK
     3. Synclite is  "not operational"
     4. Tev SBD has data gaps and worse noise than before the
        shutdown
     5. Calibration OAC says Tev FBI for protons is off by 2%,
        pbars by 5%.  Jean is going to suggest Stephen fix it.
     6. Tev Flying wires  store 3829 didn't work except for the
        last 2 flys.

B. Supertable
     1. The above instrumentation problems affected things
     2. The SDA home page links will be simplified so as to only show
        the new Supertable II in its various forms and Supertable I
        (no longer updated after Jan 1, 2005) for historical
        reasons, but on the right.  Elliott suggested just the most
        used link and then a subpage for all the other choices.
     3. Frozen cells work now.  They are blue.
     4. The calculated luminosities at the beginning and end of store
        seem to use different code and the EOS one is not working.
        Aimin will investigate.
     5. Recycler numbers should be 0. if they aren't there because
        the store had no recycler shots.  All other NaNs should stay
        Nans as they are a signal of problems that need looking at.
     6. Recycler is changing some definitions(?) so the first mixed
        pbar source shot ( this weekend) will likely have
        problems to iron out.
     7. Tim is worried about the integrated luminosity definition -
        he and Vaia will check it.

C. Shot scrapbbok.
     1. SDA plots were missing - Aimin will work with Tim to figure
        out why they weren't entered.
     2. Tim will check to be sure everything else that he is
        responsible for went in as it should have.

D. SDA home page - besides the near term fixes listed above, the
       whole page needs rethinking.  Elliott suggested  getting
       the logs from Michele to see what links are being used.

E. SBD/FBI Calibration OAC
       1. Bugs were fixed after the first stores.
       2. the web page should be linked from somewhere - Tev, SDA

F. OSAD library - Elliott
        1. Elliott is working on the idea of starting a new library
           and migrating what is actually needed as tools.  The winner
           of the name contest is "storephysics".
