Tentative Agenda

1) Responsibility for the coming proposal:

• Mikhail will consider K_Lp-->K⁺n process to show a full MC, estimation of possible statistics and expected uncertainties for angular distributions. Then he plan to evaluate background from np->nK⁺&Lambda and np->&pi⁺nn (with pion miss-identification as kaon)

• Nick is providing the studies for the Cascade. K_Lp-->K⁺Sigma⁰ (Sigma⁰-->Lambda pi⁰; Lambda-->p pi^-). He has already constructed the generator that Mikhail and he are using for our studies and he is finishing up reconstruction studies for the cascade. He plans to provide studies of cascade polarization. He can also generate some excited cascades and study resolutions and backgrounds. Then he is flexible in helping where there is more need. It was a very hectic beginning of the year, and didnt have any time to put in to detailed studies, but he now has a bit more time that he can spend on this project.

Then, Nick can easily do the K_Lp-->pi⁺Lambda and introducing a neutron target in his generator with a fermi momentum is easy. He need to include the polarization in the generator and then he can do more detailed studies.

• Kijun:

• Lei:

• Pavel will consider a conceptual design for the compact photon source (CPS).

• Igor will present neutron background MC results using the MCNP6 transport code. They have to satisfy RadCon.

• Justin: New Start Counter.
