  * Draft of Systematics Section  {{:systematicswg:telecons:2018-08-03:pico_systematics_03aug2018.pdf|}}
  * In Brendan's to-do list:
     * Provide some rigor behind the oft-quoted "1 nK in the maps" benchmark for systematics performance
     * Fill in the systematics table
     * Write some words for the far sidelobe pickup section
     * Shrink Eric's section
  * Status of toast/pico simulation runs at NERSC:
     * A memory bug is causing some trouble and is beyond Andrea's purview: it is in Ted's queue
     * Maurizio has started to make his own sims outside the toast framework: but only works for 2 detectors.  In parallel, working on a simulation based on an old version of toast. 
     * Andrea is back in the US.
     * We probably shouldn't rely on convergence of new software development
     * Close the loop with Andrea: can we use old version for systematics studies, so we are not stuck .  Probably OK with only 2 detectors (TBC) the tricky part appears to the 4 detectors inside the same pixel.
     * But can we do 2 detectors one after the other?
     * Focal Plane parameter file: https://github.com/zonca/pico-simulations/blob/master/calibration_sim/focalplane.par
