Minutes: 

• ILC update will be given at the SLAC meeting on Feb 20, with Andy, Jim and Marty attending 
• Andy will meet to discuss with UTA student interested in working on SiD
• Chris provided the arXiv links for four (4) articles presented last week (will try to post links to these documents on the main silicondetector.org site, and on the Confluence wiki)

  • Primer on ILC Physics and SiD Software Tools https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.02399 

  • Correcting for Leakage Energy in the SiD Silicon-Tungsten ECal (LCWS19 Proceeding) https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.04100

  • pySiDR: Python Event Reconstruction for SiD (LCWS19 Proceeding) https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05804

  • Energy Correction in Reduced SiD Electromagnetic Calorimeter https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05871

• We should bring to date the list of SiD documents on the Confluence wiki (https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SiD/Documents); one suggestion was to set up an input form and send a call for providing inputs 
• Chris will use the new ILC cluster at UOregin to rerun simulations of the DBD samples using the DD4hep framework; he will present the details in a talk at the next optimization meeting  
• Andy and Jim are in talks with the DoE for funding for the LC workshop in summer; will announce progress at the next meeting

Next meeting: either on Feb 26th or on Mar 4th, depending on developments during the next couple of days. Will announce the exact date on Monday.
