      July 23 16:00 - 17:30, ATF LC meeting room, KEK Participants : Tauchi, Okugi, Yamanaka, Kamiya(WebEx), Oroku(WebEx) *** Progress of Shintake monitor (ATF2 IP-BSM) work *** Slides by Takashi Yamanaka (Univ. of Tokyo) * Preparation for phase stability measurement is ongoing. * Interference fringe measurement of 30 degree crossing angle mode have been done. * Measurement of laser timing jitter has been done. * tried the optical path tracking calculation but the result doesn't match to the actual measurement comment: It is difficult to calculate the optical path if you use lenses in the path. (Okugi) There can be some sorces of position jitter (e.g. table vibration) at PSD and they causes the error of calculation. (Kamiya) * Preparation for position measurement at the IP is ongoing * Other comments need to establish the alighment method to adjust the intensity and position of two laser paths Q: How about trying to use a high resolution CCD camera to obtain the fringe profile? (Tauchi) A: CCD cameras can be used to obtain the fringe pitch, though it is difficult to obtain the actual fringe visibility if we use a high resolution camera. (Yamanaka) Please make a draft of the IEEE meeting(NSS) and set the order of priorities to the masurement plan during August. (Kamiya) want to put some alignment target at the IP for seveal tens of um beam measurement (Kamiya) -> it is not so difficult to focus the electron beam to several um

      *Gain curve of PMTs were measured to connect MIP calibration and the result of beamtest *Gain curve check is done: now analyzing *Now preparing for the another calibration: change the amount of light by ND filter and check the linearity of PMTs and sockets What to do next *finish the vacuum test of the chamber and order the table of the detector (to Aug 15) *check the linearity of PMT (to Aug 22) *do simulation for the detector(to Sep 8) *calibration by cosmic ray and upgrade of the laser inter lock system(to Sep 31) Comments Q: How to measure the gain curve of PMTs? If gain is proportional to the channels of ADC, Isn't it difficult to measure the low voltage? Because the peak is so near from the pedestal of ADC.(Okugi) A: Actually, but there is 3 or 4 sigmas between the peak and pedestal. It can be measured by enough statistics.
