 * Informal presentations:
  * Endstation:
   * Need to compare measurements with novel source to 'gold standard' photon source;
   * Also need to compare novel source to beam generated at !MedAustron and other standard hardon soures;
   * Principal issue identified is that 5.6MeV protons do not penetrate a sufficient depth of water/medium/plastic;
   * SG is making an attempt to grow cells on a membrane as a route to mitigating the problem;
   * JPa has a solution for energies up to (perhaps) 11MeV.  Clearly there is a critical interface from surface of vacuum window in biological end-station to cell layer.  Proposal needs to identify this interface, not risk that we don't solve it, and dedicate effort to resolving the issue.
