Meeting Notes for Next Telecon

Agenda for Jun 25, 2025

quarknet.org

• Current page on i2u2-quarknet
• Xeno Media Basecamp page for issues

e-Labs

• e-Labs issues tracking page (Google Doc)
• Tomcat's 'javax' -> 'jakarta' is causing problems with data upload. The plan for now is to run Tomcat 9 in parallel with Tomcat 10 to serve a working version of the e-Labs.

Cosmic

• Began ordering parts and setting up kits for Cosmic Watch for Summer 2025 workshops at centers
  • Combining orders for scintillator (Eljen) and boards (PCB express) with Colorado State outreach program - 32 for us, 2 for them
  • Scintillators ordered Mon 28 Apr: takes longest
  • CW workshop on offer.
• Pyramid display great on simulated data, however, we now have some test files.
  • Must add run headers to data files; readout hardware needs addresses we've agreed to. 2D looks good but Edit amd Mark are revisiting 3D event display code to simplify it's representation.
  • Two techniques for event structure from 6 CAEN readout boxes were tested at Domincan. Planes will be rewired so rotation axis and pyramid east are parallel.
  • Detector 1 is at Dominican U. and detector 2 is in Mexico City. Both are stacked and all channels are alive but they need event building of the 6 CAEN boxes

CMS

• Now that IMC is over, we can turn to improvements and other CMS efforts:
  • Improve CIMA - consult just concluded with Notre Dame ESC:
    • Cursor or Co-Pilot AI assistance
    • Intern assistance
    • CRC folks very helpful
  • Make sure iSpy in updated on ND server.
  • New ways to use python notebooks.
  • More? Will consult LHC fellows...likely 20 or 29 May
  • TPM: I have a handle on the 4lepton events from 2016, see https://github.com/QuarkNet-HEP/cms-masterclass-scripts for progress

Neutrino

• QN Staff met with Laura Fields and Kevin McFarland last Thursday (the 19th) regarding long-term maintenance of Arachne (MINERvA event display). Prof. Fields and Carlos now have logins to i2u2-minerva.
