  1. E906 update from Kun: 03/12/2012 • First beam delivered to E906 last Wed. Mar 7th! • We now have high intensity protons hitting the front face of Fmag, but probably not quite well focused. The accelerator people are right now working on repairing the beam monitor near our target. • Chamber group found very noisy background in all the chambers even if the HV is off. • By studying time spectra of prop. tubes, Grass and I spotted a serious bug in the FPGA zero-suppression code, thus we spend a few days flashing all the TDCs to non-zero-suppression version. • For prop. tubes, since there is no meaningful data so far, all the prop. tubes are still running with HV set to 500V. In the past week, I fixed several dead/hot channels which is unseen before. Since last controlled access, we found a new hot channel in ST4H8, I'm about to go downstairs to take a look at it. • For software, we fixed a geometry problem and now the momentum resolution is improved from ~5% to less than 1%. The vertex fit is also implemented and the results are far better than what I shown during collaboration meeting. I'm planning to give a presentation in software group meeting some time in the next week.
