• final short presentation at end
• some tasks may come from or lead to ongoing projects

Possible task list:

• Reconstruct single electrons 5-100 MeV
• Implement time distribution in generators
• Develop gamma tagging algorithm
• Implement angular distribution
• Implement NC, nuebar cross sections in generator
• Use realistic photon sim info to improve resolution,

define photon efficiency requirements

• Create smearing file for Snowglobes based on

new algorithms

• Background simulation improvement (cosmogenic,

more on radiologicals)

• ... many more possibilities
• Participants can suggest/define tasks and goals

based on projects they are already working on,

• r pick from a list
