1. Introduction and status of preparation of 'reference' proposal: **//KL//**
 * Updated reference proposal still needs to be revised.  This will be completed and posted for reference.
 * Goal for this meeting is to assess and agree the end-station specification and then re-evaluate the next steps.
1. End-station siultation update: **//AK, HT//**
 * Drawing of elements of end-station that intercept the beam [raw-attachment:mkbakffhgnpofblm.png here].  We discussed and **//agreed//**:
  * 50micron milar for beam vacuum window (perhaps consider 50/75 micron); use MedAustron preferred cell holder; take 2mm thickness for now.
  * GB will make calculation and practical test of vacuum windows of various thicknesses.  Need a soak test.
  * AK will bring sample holders to Imperial so that the base thickness can be measured.
 * **//Agreed//** that the parameter table, especially energy lost in the end-station, will be updated by the end of the week.
1. Implications and next steps:  **//All//**
 * With the parameter table revised, next week we agree how to work towards a CDR.  JPa explained that he believes the CDR should be based on the 'Hunt scheme' combined with electrostatic bends.
1. AoB
 * Structure of AK's talk ([AjitKurup-CCAP.pdf.pptx here]) was discussed, much feedback was given(!).
  * We **//agreed//** that a 'rehearsal' would take place at 15:00 (BST) on Friday 26Oct18.  Details to be announced.
