10:00 AM → 10:10 AM Cool Copper Collider - Beam Background Studies

Speakers: Elias Mettner (UW-Madison), Abdollah Mohammadi (UW-Madison)

• Met with Lindsey to discuss plans
• WHIZARD 3.0 integration of Tim's changes is just too much effort for the people who could plausibly do it, it seems
• We are pivoting to a more patchy solution, but a solution nonetheless:
  • Manually modify a WHIZARD process to get the most generic 2-body phase space possible and produce the di-photon mass spectra
  • Set the cross-section ourselves
  • Basically bypass the automatic algorithms that are doing the things we don't want and making it work ourselves
• Began looking into the manual and found that WHIZARD allows phase-space parametrization files as input
  • Don't actually know what one looks like though, need to produce and explore/modify
• Also: APS Registration and Travel/Lodging booked
