Attendance : M. Leite, G. Saito, M. Moralles, R. Buhler

 

Introduction (M. Leite)

• Minutes from previous meeting: no comments 
• Described the open issues, the severity and the effort needed to work on each one

TCAD Simulation (R. Buhler)

• No news, will contact Taylor from UCSC by e-mail to explain the issue 
• Will meet Friday Oct. 07 13:30  with M. Leite for a Gitlab walk through

Geant4 Simulation (M. Moralles)

• Implemented Geant4 physics list used in medical physics, which loads all process of interest (closes issue)
• Logic volumes implementation OK, will use it to write data to ROOT files
• Question on radiation entrance side. Significant absorption in top AC-LGAD structures -> needs evaluation
• Will meet Monday  (time TBD) for gitlab walk through

Action Items (for next meeting Oct. 13th) 

• TCAD Simulation (R. Buhler)
  • Contact Taylor by email today (Oct. 6th) about the issue on running TCAD
  • Extract E-Field for AC-Baseline Example on gitlab 
  • Validate Simulation against Taylor's results
  • Present the finding by next meeting (Oct. 13th.)
• Geant4 Simulation (M. Moralles)
  • Write charge information in ROOT File
  • Upload 1rst version of the code in Gitlab
