TWOCRYST Meeting : Publications

Tuesday 22 Sept 2026, 15:00 → 16:10 Europe/Zurich

• Analysis and manuscript: The crystal-performance analysis is complete. The technical manuscript (2025 data, beam dynamics and crystal operation) gets another collaboration-wide feedback round. Pascal will recirculate it on the collaboration mailing list with a clear deadline and a way for everyone to submit and see comments. Substantial new content goes into later papers, not this one. Collaborators are invited to comment on the title. 

 

• Publication strategy: The high-impact physics paper comes first. The scope and split of content between the two still need to be defined so they don’t overlap. Collaborators are invited to propose better titles for the technical paper and ideas for further papers. Chiara’s and Sara’s channeling-efficiency analyses give different numbers and have to be reconciled before any final values are used. TWOCRYST results are a benchmark for ALADDIN but don’t transfer directly, so ALADDIN needs its own modelling. Uncertainty estimates are needed, even approximate ones.

 

• Authorship: The author list is incomplete. Action: each institution should review the author list and confirm completeness. 

 

• Next steps: Pascal will schedule further technical meetings: one on the background analysis, and one with focus of Chiara V.'s analysis of PoT data.
