  * (γ,n) reaction
    - compare neutron flux with different gamma sources (Th or U? for U, 2.4 MeV is close to the resonance energy)
    - increase the neutron flux by increasing source activity or Be target thickness
    - measurements with varying thicknesses of the PE moderator for MC validations


  * GAGG detector 
    - Delayed coincidences and contamination values shall be finalized and inserted into the paper
    - thermal neutron Am-Be data processed
 
  * LaBr3 detector
    - measure the half-life of the <sup>215</sup>Po's mother nucleus, <sup>219</sup>Rn
    - systematic uncertainties need to be considered
      - producing fake data and process them with the same procedures as with the real data
      - consider a linear background model, instead of a flat one
      - adjust the time binning
      - check the fit method, use least square fitting (For ROOT: try "IEL" fit option)
      - adjust the energy window 

  * Simulating the Am-Be neutron spectrum
    - Setup optimization (regarding crystal size, quality(cleaner than now) etc.)
    - deadline for the funding expense is this summer

  * Detector's possible application on the surface 
    - surrounded by plastic scintialltors as muon veto and moderator
    - SIPM instead of photomultiplier
