Agenda for Nov 28, 2012
Other Business
Chao - questions about the LAr comparison… Is the task understood? Progress? (no depth meeting this week)
LRT2013 conference call next week. Who will join?
We need a plan for funding travel to LRT2013.
March 4 meeting at SLAC
8:30-9:00 Introduction to our plans and working groups
9-12: Simulation
Advances and Future Plan in Geant4 (Dennis Wright)
Update on FLUKA in context of cosmogenic backgrounds (SLAC, Mario Santana) —Tony confirm with name of talk and person
Fluka v Geant comparisons
Tony, Anthony, Allison update on muon production of neutrons —(Anthony name suggestion: Detailed cosmogenic comparison of Fluka and Geant4 physics
Melinda update on FLUKA v Geant in NMM context —Melinda cannot commit to any talks & there's not likely to be anything to report on this topic
Cosmogenic Backgrounds at Sanford Comparison: FLUKA vs Geant4
Invited Geant and FLUKA physics Talks rolled into one Summary Talk —(Matthew has agreed)
Status of the Depth Task Force Simulations (LAr, LXe, Ge) —Who wants to give this? Prisca?
- Forum on Muon generation
Muons generated through GEANT4 (Chao) name please - this should be SHORT 10 min
Ideas on how to incorporate MUSUN into GEANT4 (Anthony) Underground Muon Generation in Geant4 - again short.
Discussion
Any other forums here?
1-3: Radiogenic Challenge
Universal Materials Database: Status and plans for LRT2013 (Jodi, 20 min)
Status of evaluation of (alpha,n) reaction - (alpha,n) cross sections on different materials, neutron energy spectrum, neutron yield, U and Th content in the rock and different materials
Status of Comparison of Cross Sections from EMPIRE and TALYS of Common Materials (Scorza, Palladino, Qiu - 15 min)
Discussion and Planning for additional data
Notre Dame, TUNL, Invitation emails are being sent
Planning for how to combine (or not) Materials database, Geant4, alpha-n etc.
talking about radiogenic measurements/stockpiling of materials
Comparison with other predictions
3:30-5:30 Experimental Handles on Neutron Bkgd
The Neutron Multiplicity Meter at Soudan —Yu Chen (Syracuse grad student)
SD neutron detector — Chao name of talk
Muon system and time stamps —Anthony Coincident Events in Soudan Large Cavern
The WATCHMAN Project —Marc Bergevin (UC Davis postdoc)
Other sites and other experiments? HALO
site —
who will contact them?
6-7 AARM Planning meeting
Recruiting people for the working groups
Plans for LRT2013
How to organize around the Cosmic Frontier workshop
Group Dinner
Updates from Working Groups
Universal database = Jodi
Cosmogenic Group = Angie and Chao
