JK's+Logbook+Week+of+Dec.+3rd

__**Week of December 3**__

__//12-3-07//__ - Dr. L talked to us about final exams for awhile and the requirements that need to be met. He sent out emails outlining what we need to do also.

__//12-4-07//__ - Today I learned a little bit about "The Grid". I learned what it is and what it hopes to achieve. Pretty much just the basics of the site and what it offers. You can check it out on the resources page in the e-lab or you can go from [|here]. It's basically an innovation of the internet. A place in which scientists hope to have access to unlimited storage space, and possibilities where they can test experiments without boundaries. It's nowhere near being able to access and use, but it is a good dream and hopefully one day a reality.

__//12-5-07//__ - DO and I both have our permission slips in to go to the Quarknet Center any day we would like, so we're planning to go tomorrow during 10th period for the first time to further progress on the detector.

__//12-6-07//__ - Today Dr. L suggested we go to the Quarknet Center and try to figure out the connection and DAQ board by ourselves. After a few attempts we finally got it right and started streaming data. Then we messed around with some input commands that we had witnessed before hand by Dr. L.

__//12-7-07//__ - Before, we went to class and Dr. L asked us to investigate double coincidence. We searched through the user's manual but couldn't really find much on it so we played around with hyper terminal and still we couldn't seem to understand much it was saying. After trying various things and spending a lot of time on it we gave up and I emailed Dr. L reporting our failure.
