 **ZOOM:** https://imperial-ac-uk.zoom.us/j/98220889714?pwd=SM90vOF7BKSXoU3mD9q7OwBQo4IVB3.1 
 
-== Meeting Agenda == 
+Attended: KL, CW, CD, (JB)
 
-1. SCAPA
- - General Update
+== Meeting Notes == 
 
-2. BioPrep
- - General Update 
+1. General Discussion
+ - Robbie mentioned that beamtime might be more likely in February. 
+ - Colin believes we might be able to get some time in Autumn if we can time it correctly with other beamtime.
+ - There is work where the SCAPA team are using AI and looking at the variability of the laser.
+ - Colin to discuss with Robbie how to build the setup with another experiment
 
-3. Instrumentation
- - General Update
- - Lenses ordered for Hollow Fibre Testing
+2. Instrumentation
+ - General 
+  - Colin suggested filling the carousel and running 1 shot then repeating with 2 shots etc
+  - Each cell dish would have Lanex around it or something for real-time measurement
+  - Then we could skip the calibration stage by comparing the variation in the Lanex signal with the known variation in dose
+  - Problems involve the number of cells needing to be collected and the time that would take
+  - Needs discussion with bio team
+ - SciFi
+  - Need to actually test whether the transporting fibre will scintillate
+  - Operate on the assumption it does not
+  - If it does Peter has ordered hollow-fibre
+  - Might be able to use a standrad fibre-optic connector
+ - ICT
+  - Colin has ICTs
+  - 3-5ns rise time, so should see the short pulses but on the edge of visible and may be blurred out
+  - 0.1V in signal per Amp in beam current
+  - Beam would also need to be roughly symmetric, so has to be after the scatterer
 
-4. Equipment Procurement
- - General Update
-
-5. Alternate Beamlines
- - ELI Update

-6. Overview of Trello
+3. Overview of Trello
+ - Reminder plan is laid out in the google doc and can be changed
