09:00 Cherenkov: Short Report

Speaker: Lucien Cremaldi (University of Mississippi)

 Bon jour,  I am fast asleep.  Talk is postponed.  A short mesage:

We are making nice progress on CKOV software, but nothing substantial to show.   We have essentially arrived at the place Vassil reached a year ago.

- Peter Sonnek unpacking CKOV data and making plots.
- Has written dynamic pedestal finder which reduces wide pedestals by x2.
- Need TOF information to look in detail at electron events.
- Having difficulty transferring data files in a timely fashion.

We will make a full presentation at future Software and/or Phone Conf.  in the near future.
