 5) Optimization Studies: of the GEOMETRY of Vacuum Veto System(VVS)
 --------------------------------------------------------------------
 & inefficiency studies (with # materials, energy cutoffs, gap size between
 ----------------------
    modules)
    NOTE: CKM_20.

 6) Inefficiency Studies of the Forward Veto System( FVS): And the effects
    -----------------------------------------------------
    of interactions in the material prior to FVS (e.g. RICH gaz & various mirror
    thicknesses)
    NOTE: CKM_23.

 7) Effect of an External FIELD: out of the vacuum tank- Field 
    ---------------------------
   Optimization.
   NOTE: CKM_25.
 8) Detailed Geant Monte-Carlo studies at low energies, below 20 MeV. 
    ----------------------------------
   
 9) Comparative Study of interactions in the Beam Interaction Veto Stamp( BIVS): Geant-Gheisha versus
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Geant-Fluka. Cross-check of the Fast-MC results of JR.

 10) Study of the Beam Phase-Space and the Muon Background : in collaboration 
    ----------------------------------------------------- 
    with Rick Coleman, Sasha Vasiliev, Tom Kobilarci. 

   a) I have Included the Poisson Mapping of the Quads & Dipoles into
      Geant's code.

   b) Transfered Geant's code to double-precision to allow a 6-digits
      phase-space comparison with Turtle run by Tom.

   c) Study of the muon background & the effect of a shielding.

   d) Reproduced Doornbos's phase-space distributions using Geant
      for one beam setup.

   e) Improved the code to allow better flexibility in front of constant 
      changes in beam setups.
      NOTES: CKM_13.
             CKM_29.

     
 11) Coding in Geant-Detector:
     ------------------------
     a) Coding of the Beam Phase-space

     b) Coding of the Beam Interaction Veto Stamp- BIVS detector

     c) Coding of Vacuum Veto System- VVS detector

     d) Coding of Hole Veto System- HVS detector

     e) Coding of the beam sweaping magnet

     And the subsequent Digitization of the signals.

 12) Rates Studies: In PMT's associated with the Veto system 
     -------------
     (Vacuum Veto System-Forward Veto System-Beam Interaction Veto Stamp)
      in collaboration with R. Coleman.
      NOTE:CKM_54.

 13) Tests at lab6:
     -------------
       a) Properties of paddles made of BC404 (plastic scintillator)
       and BCF92 (fibers) for the Veto system using a Telescope type
       device. Light yields studies- joined supervision of a summer 
       student.
       
       NOTE: CKM_55.

       b) Comparative studies of gains of PMTs
       NOTE: CKM_51.
  
       c) Comparative studies of light yield of "cheaper" scintillators 
          to BC404, with a Russian collegue and then joined supervising 
          of a school student (who was semi-finalist in the Intel Talent 
          Search and got a grant using his study)           
        NOTE: CKM_57. 
 
       d) Studies of the gluing process and other means to improve the
          light yields with the technical staff.
        NOTE: CKM_52.
