Agenda for Nov 7, 2012

March 5 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 name?)
  3. Fluka v Geant comparisons
    1. Tony & Anthony update
    2. Melinda update on FLUKA v Geant in NMM context
    3. Chao Homestake comparison, including muon generation
    4. Discussion Topics (please help fill these out)
      • Muon generation and inclusion in FLUKA and Geant4 (e.g. MUSUN v Geant4)
  4. Invited Sim Talks (e.g. NEST, other? )
  5. Status of the Depth Task Force White Paper (perhaps just in preparation for a more official talk at the Cosmic Frontier?)

1-3: Radiogenic Challenge

  1. Universal Database:Status and plans for LRT2013 (Jodi and/or Loach - probably 2 talks)
  2. Status of alpha n measurements (DongMing)
  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.

3:30-5:30 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? (who, what?)

6-7 AARM Planning meeting

  1. Recruiting people for the working groups
  2. Plans for LRT2012
  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
