HOMEWORK (from Thia's 4/21/17 email)

  • We agreed that the two WACS-focused groups would send suggested toy models of their systems that they would like to work on before the next meeting to Rolf, Tanja, and I for comment. This should be done in the next couple days so that we can iterate this back out quickly. All will work with a 10% radiator, 2.5 uAmps, 11.5 GeV beam for now.
  • In parallel, we all agreed that actual experiment benchmarking of the results, in particular the "interesting" differences we observed between codes, was important work to pursue.
  • Also, it seemed clear that the Hall D K_long effort was positively on track with what we did already - perhaps move to a rectangular toy model of the same thing with a beam aperture is all that's needed as a next step here.
