Subject: JEM-X Monday Meeting 2007-11-12
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:12:27 +0100 (MET)

Participants: CBJ, NL, CAO, SB, JC, NJW.

JEM-X status (SB): No special remarks. HV reduction will happen in
revolution 622.

New SPAG table preparations (SB): Attempt to collect background spectra
from a VERY large dataset. The best correction is required so OSA7
jmxi_full_cor.fits files are produced for all data in our local archive (NJW).
The Mo line at 17 keV becomes very conspicuous. The Ni line from welding
spots is also visible.

Coordination meeting (SB): Took place at MOC with many participants.
The Solar background is still increasing which may cause problems for
SPI. Data compression and better use of telemetry may be considered,
but only if the soon to be expected drop in the particle background
is considerably delayed.
Safety procedures is the salient point in the unification of the
INTEGRAL/XMM operations. Particularly the SPI cooler must be handled
correctly.

OSA status (NL, NJW): An intermediate version of j_ima_iros will be
issued shortly.
Data correction (CAO): Introduce temperature dependence in the gain
correction and a new SPAG table - in coordination with SB. This may
take a couple of months, though.
