Description

On this week's episode of FCC@MIT and friends...

For remote participation use this Zoom room.

Hide

Emmett: check the thickness of vertex Si (ARCADIA-MD3?), run on other samples with different mesh sizes to see effects

Ahmad: make list of potential improvements to ddsim

Estrella: plot k=1/P (curvature) instead of P, behaves Gaussian

Katie: make ratio plots for X T / 2 T, scan 0..1 T to see turning point, make plots for z instead of theta, check other distributions than theta/phi for different mesh sizes

Jesus: also plot k=1/P (curvature) instead of P, investigate upwards trend..

Yuki: NTR; need to assign VTX/beam backgrounds project?
