v3.1.1
Summary: The meeting focused on updates and discussions regarding the ongoing upgrade progress. Bill provided a detailed overview, emphasizing the need for funding for cryo pumping to enhance the vacuum system. Alexander discussed the feasibility of accommodating larger mirrors and stressed the importance of testing with real-size mirror samples. Progress in finalizing modifications to the measurement setup was acknowledged, with a transition to a more sophisticated approach for the pfRICH description in DD4Hep for planned for the May campaign.
