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. We need a plan for funding travel.

March 4 meeting at SLAC

  • 2nd announcement needs to go soon with agenda.
  • Please enter info right here before NEXT WEEK if your name is next to it.

8:30-9:00 Introduction to our plans and working groups

9-12: Simulation

  1. Advances in Geant4 (Dennis Wright) Prisca confirm with name of talk
  2. Advances in FLUKA (SLAC Mario/Ludavico) * Tony confirm with name of talk and person - Fluka v Geant comparisons - Tony, Anthony, Allison update on muon production of neutrons * Anthony/Tony come up with name of talk
    1. Melinda update on FLUKA v Geant in NMM context * Anthony confirm with Melinda, name of talk - Angie Homestake comparison (Raul's FLUKA vs Geant4) * Angie come up with name of talk. These 2 talks could be combined into one..???
  3. Invited Geant and FLUKA physics Talks rolled into one Summary Talk (Matthew has agreed)
    • Posted longer talks if they already exist
  4. 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
    1. Ideas on how to incorporate MUSUN into GEANT4 (Anthony) * name - again short. - Discussion - Any other forums here? === 1-3: Radiogenic Challenge === - Universal Database:Status and plans for LRT2013 (Jodi) * Jodi confirm name and extent of talk
  5. Status of alpha n measurements * DongMing revise this title and give small description - Discussion and Planning for additional data - Notre Dame, TUNL, ?? DongMing please advise. We can then invite some people too. - Planning for how to combine (or not) Materials database, Geant4, alpha-n etc. - talking about radiogenic measurements/stockpiling of materials === 3:30-5:30 Experimental Handles on Neutron Bkgd === - NMM (Melinda or Ray) * Ray confirm speaker and name of talk
  6. SD neutron detector (Chao) * name of talk - Muon system and time stamps (Anthony) * name of talk
  7. New Bernstein effort on gd-loaded water * Ray or Prisca contact him. Anthony meet with him at Boulby - Other sites and other experiments? HALO site * who will contact them?

6-7 AARM Planning meeting

  1. Recruiting people for the working groups
  2. Plans for LRT2013
  3. How to organize around the Cosmic Frontier workshop
    • Liason jobs and info gathering?
    • Capabilities tie-in?
    • Screening Facility?

Group Dinner

Updates from Working Groups

  • Universal database = Jodi
  • Cosmogenic Group = Angie and Chao
  • Fluka v Geant = Anthony and Toni
  • Radiogenic data = DongMing
  • Neutron benchmarking = Ray and Anthony
