• Calibration procedure has been developed and is being tested (Vladimir)

• Working on reconstruction software

• Testplan with beam

• Initially plan to take data at different voltage settings scanning beam across calorimeter in steps in x and y
• Also measure properties like energy resolution, light yield as function of ..., position resolution, etc.
