  • Minutes:

- Target Chambers: Mahbub and Mehdi sent the initialed drawings back to Pfeiffer. Construction will take ~8-10 weeks. Little issue with an extra $200 shipping cost. Will ask for a separate bill in order to avoid redoing a new order at NSU.

- Alignment System: Delivered Monday Feb. 24th. Vina will bring it to Jlab.

- Coordinate Detector: Zhihong has been award of an $11k JSA Postdoctoral Fellowship. Will be used towards a XY position detector prototype (scintillating fiber). He will give a talk at the next CLAS meeting on Monday March 3rd. Seems that this type of detector is the best option (no need to be as precise as GEM (see Chao's studies), the UVA group is already very busy with SuperBigBite and SoLID) however the cost needs to be evaluated. Zhihong will contact detector engineers at Jlab as wells as at Saint Gobain. Will need help from Jlab for the electronic.

- Ahsot, FX and Mahbub will work on the halo monitor
