 - Remy from Hawaii introduced himself. He will start to contribute to Radio simulations, general development, and he has expertise on GPUs. In our next meeting, if Tim has time, we can discuss ideas of Radio in combination with GPU.

 

 - There are updates on the systematic studies. The recent developments have made major improvements. There are still many smaller differences.  The main questions are (some):

   - proton spectra have the largest remaining shape differences

   - q: should we make sure projectile type mapping is identical in all codes. Now it is the same in C8 and MCEq, and in C7 and CONEX. 

   - rho0 in sibyll, epos are interacting in CONEX at lower energies. This is suspicious. Tanguy will investigate.

   - there is a difference in what particles are transported (vs immediate decay) in C7 and C8

 - Check story for publication on this systematic work, in particular: lower thresholds, higher zenith angles

 - URQMD diffractive peak. Check, pp, pi-p, lambda-p look for projectile-type xF spectra. Anatoli used 3.4 version.

 - check with Lukas on solution to MR !175

 - Max, Felix: investigate MR !113

 

We need to shift next meeting. In two weeks there is too large overlap with Auger meeting. Check with Lukas, if other day in this week works, or shift by one week.
