List of Important tasks to be finished before ERR and the available workforce:

(1) Scintillator simulation (Yuan and Buddhiman):

   (i) Finish simulation studies to determine the rejection efficiency
   (ii) background rate under a more realistic beam with a halo
   (iii) study alignment tolerance, how much we can tolerate the shift in position and tilting angles?
   (iv) finalizing the geometry of the scintillators, what should be the size of the central hole
   (v) effect of beam spot position on the detector

(2) X17 with 4.4 GeV (Tyler, Eric, Yuan, Chao and Weizhi)

   (i) background study: ask TongTong Cao to generate background events, run through the simulation, and then analyze and study the output. In addition, see if we can use the GEMs to reject backgrounds from the fringe and downstream beampipe (Tyler and Eric)
   (ii) Radiation damage on HyCal (Yuan)
   (iii) HyCal energy resolution (Weizhi)
   (iv) vertex-z resolution
