== Meeting Notes == 
1. Alternate Beamlines
 - ELI proposal:
  - Calvin has put together a draft document
  - Will share it with the relevant people
  - (Not aiming for the 20th October deadline)

2. BioPrep
 - Update from SCAPA that February is too early
  - June 27th is when SCAPA is expecting to run protons again
   - Realistically, this means "summer"
  - Continue with the same plan for cells rather than delay
 - Colin may be in Birmingham sometime this month so could transport the cells
  - **Update after this weekend**
 - Update from RadioBio meeting
  - Draft paper based on Josie's technical note
 - X-ray machine currently broken so Colin has not yet seen it.
  - Not yet

3. Instrumentation
 - RCF
   - No Update
 - SciFi
  - Update: Base fine-tuning.
 - Thin wall ion chamber and Diamond detector
  - No Update
 - Air fluorescence
  - Colin discussed this more with Narender?
   - Waiting for a full plan and time first

4. SCAPA
 - Updates
  - Could look at the full beamline to improve and move things around
  - Make edits to the carousel etc
  - Need to learn about the experiment we are parasiting off so that we know what the setup will be. 


5. Review Trello: https://trello.com/invite/b/67587c515b0c69656ee78b48/ATTIe86f94b24e3e5884e4cb87e5ed3b89ab64321B83/poplar
