BigBite Field Mapping and Mirror Test

May 2,
Brad and I measured the field at both side of detector package of bigbite. It took about 2 hours to finish. The result is stapled onto my logbook(real notebook).

Later, I read the procedure of testing parabolic mirror for Gas Cerenkov. Finally, I decided to use Ronchi Tester to test it since it's the simplest one for rookie.

Here is the 2 websites I read
Ronchi Test1
Ronchi Test2

May 3,
I measure all the parameters for mirror except focal length and surface tolerance. I will continue on it tomorrow morning.
