Photonics Workshop Summary (IceCube style)

Taking steps to address baseline change

- Adopted forward-looking approach- Deliverables and milestones defined- Need to front-load work schedule- Earned value peak in Y2004M03- Low on FTEs- SOWs (verbal)

Photonics Workshop Agenda

• Status reports– Stephan: AMASIM interface, testing– Thomas: PSI – Photon Simulation Interface– Peter for Daan: NN table parametrization– John P.: Hit constructor

• Discussion & Planning– Assignments: who’s doing what, why not– Action items: what to do, homework – Schedule: do it now

AMASIM interface testing (Stephan H.)

• New photonics tables (infinite muons)

• Photonics shower tables

• Look at mean photon amplitudes

as function of

- distance

- impact parameter

- OM orientation

as defined in figure ►

Photonics mimicking PTD

Message: AMASIM interface works; Shower tables debugged

PTD PTDphotonics photonics

impact parameter distance

PTD/photonics ratios

With PTD settings (educated guess)With favored photonics settings

Sensitive to efficiency settings (glass, gel, QE, etc.)

Message: photonics = PTD if efficiencies same
