Minutes of the meeting
		      held on 1st November 1996


present: DJAC, BWK, ALL, RMB, MS.

BWK  -	Simulation with 3 radiation lengths of material in front of ecal
	with random energy in the range 0-200Gev. Could not get required
	resolution with 5x5 array but needed 5x7.
	Discussion followed on usefulness of barrel presampler.
	CMS-UK meeting in Bristol, minutes now on the web

	Next week, ecal week @ CERN

ALL  -	Mechanical work on traversing table.
	Dick Carter getting drawing done of additional mechanical pieces
	so that they can be manufactured.
	Discussion followed on the proposed beam line hodoscope and 
	multi-channel pmts, decision reached that 2 pmts should be
	purchased, Laurie to copy info to Gavin.
	Suggested from the general discussion that the beam line fencing
	should be modified so that our area is also fenced off and can
	be padlocked, now that more equipment is in use and stored there.
	Still looking into temperature control for stored xtals.
	The missing HP digital scope from lab 7 has been found

RMB  -	Meeting with CMS referees @ CERN.
	Also OPAL, SUSY and open LHCC session while @ CERN

	Next week, ecal week @ CERN
	Royal Society bid for Russians to be submitted.

MS   -	Ordered necessary bits for hardware mods to beam line daq
	Looked into reading out LRS 7200 scope remotely using RS232.

	Next week, make up circuits and start implementing daq upgrades

DJAC -	ACOS meeting @ CERN (lack of agreement)
	Brought 6 EG&G APDs (3 of last years model and 3 this years), to
	be used for irradiation tests at ISIS under conditions similar to
	operating conditions in CMS.
	Also brought 5 xtals back.

	Next week, ecal week @ CERN
