Agenda for Nov 7, 2012

March 4 meeting at SLAC

  • Announcement - finish a draft announcement today - will need immediate feedback by email.

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

9-12: Simulation

  1. Advances in Geant4 (Dennis Wright)
  2. Advances in FLUKA (SLAC Mario/Ludavico?)
  3. Fluka v Geant comparisons
    1. Tony, Anthony, Allison update on muon production of neutrons (incl. any Borexino results)
    2. Melinda update on FLUKA v Geant in NMM context
    3. Angie Homestake comparison (Raul's FLUKA vs Geant4)
    4. Discussion Topics (please help fill these out)
      • Muon generation and inclusion in FLUKA and Geant4 (e.g. MUSUN v Geant4)
      • Muon-Nuclear vs. other processes neutron energy contribution
  4. Invited Geant and FLUKA physics Talks rolled into one Summary Talk (Matthew S?)
    • Posted longer talks if they already exist
  5. Status of the Depth Task Force Simulations (LAr, LXe, Ge)

1-3: Radiogenic Challenge

  1. Universal Database:Status and plans for LRT2013 (Jodi or Loach )
  2. Status of alpha n measurements (DongMing revise this title)
  3. Discussion and Planning for additional data
    1. Notre Dame, TUNL, ?? DongMing please advise. We can then invite some people too.
    2. Planning for how to combine (or not) Materials database, Geant4, alpha-n etc.
    3. talking about radiogenic measurements/stockpiling of materials

3:30-5:30 Experimental Handles on Neutron Bkgd

  1. NMM (Melinda or Ray)
  2. SD neutron detector (Chao)
  3. Muon system and time stamps (Anthony)
  4. Plans for upgrades and new instruments at Soudan(several people? ideas?)
  5. Other sites and other experiments? HALO site

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

LRT at Gran Sasso - April 10-12 (Jodi)

  • Status (letter)
  • What should we do to prepare??

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
