Meeting Notes for Next Telecon

Agenda for Jun 4, 2025

quarknet.org

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

e-Labs

• e-Labs issues tracking page (Google Doc)
• e-Labs, database, and wiki servers moved to new Ubuntu 24.04 VMs on Friday.
• PostgreSQL upgrade from 12 -> 16 is causing upload and user data problems. Working on that now.
• CIMA will not connect to its database. 2nd priority.
• Something about the MINERvA event display is wrong. 3rd priority.

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.
• International Muon Week reports are complete
• CME efforts: UIC students drafted a paper on CR rates for the last 5 most intense CMEs and participating in current Japan-US meetings
• 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

• Neutrino session in IPPOG: ProtoDUNE, MINERvA, NOvA
