Minutes:

• Chris presented Conformal Tracking studies (slides from October special meeting w/ CLIC); he is trying to understand why CT fails in some cases to produce the 'picket fence' angular distribution in phi; same effect is known to happen in CLIC but less pronounced
• Jack is running simulations at 27 deg, 10k events at 10 and 20GeV, and will aim to present energy resolution studies at the next meeting
• Dan proposed to use the SLAC Confluence wiki as a central location for howtos and documentation

Next meeting: June 19
