-Collaboration meeting should be on Friday, 1/6/2006. Preceding analysis
  review meeting on Thursday 1/5/2006.

-Recrunch: lrn 11250-4935 ongoing, ~1900 runs in 9 days. Crunching in
  9300's now, backwards. Uses Wire.Cal that has been bugfixed for a few
  (~5) wire positions that were off by 2-7 mm in the left sector at forward
  angles (introduced in September 2004).
  Using new Blast field map, Garfield-t2d and k-factors. Also available
  would be t2d from CZ, and soon from CC.
  When 4935-11250 is done (in one week or so), I will resume lrn for 2004
  hydrogen.

CC:
-Working on t2d with field on. On wire chamber geometry offsets: Once t2d
  is updated, it should be possible to estimate global geometrical Wch
  offsets (there's already an estimate in CC's talk in meeting_050830 of
  about 1mm).
  At the same time, straight track analysis should yield a calibration
  wire-by-wire which can be compared with CC's estimate.
  On straight tracks: Besides the dedicated zero-field runs (which
  have a very high multiplicity per event) there are also cosmics runs with
  field on and/or off, and there are cosmics events (~1000/500k run) in the
  real data runs. CC's method to identify cosmics tracks should serve as an
  input to Doug's straight track analysis. Due to 2nd level trigger cosmics
  events in the production data will not fill up all the wire chamber
  completely though. Once Wire.Cal has been obtained, a complete lrn
  recrunch is desired in order to pick up stubs that were lost with the
  present calib. Nevertheless, a quick lrd-recrunch should already show the
  improvement.

RF:
-Working on understanding the earlier reported TOF inefficiency. ADC
  analysis for single phototubes with cuts for elastic kinematics imposed.

EG:
-Working on GEn extraction as function of theta_cm and of theta_d^*.
  Also working on before/after checks for the recrunched hydrogen runs in
  terms of resolution and offsets.

NM:
-New MC available for inclusive scattering with improved statistics, and
  which accounts for elastic constribution. Will extract GMn next.

Regards,

    Michael
