    5050Present: Ajit Kurup, Ken Long, Jason Parsons, Tim Greenshaw, Juergen Pozimski, Galen, Aymar, Ruth McLauchlan, Colin Whyte, Peter Ratoff, Will Shields
    51         Schedule
    52                 JPo: Need to clarify the interfaces as there is overlap in the components, e.g. Gabor lens in the capture and beam line.
    53                 CW: Need to discuss target location with respect to the first Gabor lens.
    54                 JPo: Spoke with Zulfikar re debris, differential pumping, etc. Will set up another meeting including CW.
    55         Floor plan layout
    56                 AK: Has someone been assigned to do the CAD drawings and do we have access to the previous drawings.
    57                         GA: Someone will be assigned soon to do the CAD drawings and the previous drawings are in RAL's database.
    58                 KL: best not to update the drawing for the end of November as details won't be fixed.
    59                         JPo: better to make a list of changes.
    60                 AK: Want to raise the issue of animal holding facilities and whether an on-site facility is needed (which would require a separate floor).
    61                 JPar: Need some on-site facilities, e.g. holding facilities, but should consider how much space is needed.
    62                 Following some discussion, it was decided that an animal house should not be included in the plans for LhARA but a holding facility will be needed. The size of this is to be determined taking into account the scope of the proposed radiobiology programme.
    63                 AK to ask ZN and OE to specify total footprint of the laser and shielding requirements.
    64         Parameter table
    65                 JPo: Parameters in the table will define the physical geometry of the Gabor lens and the nominal operating voltage. This is sufficient info to generate a field map (for tracking).
    66                         § KL: What about alternative technologies, i.e. solenoids.
    67                         § Following some discussion, it was decided that the equivalent solenoid field strength and lengths of the solenoids should be included in the parameter table.
    68                 Beam transport
    69                         § Details in the parameter table should define the input and output beam.
    70                         § AK to discuss with JPas.
    71                 Stage 2  needs to include another end station (also define the input and output beams).
    72                 End stations - JPar.
    73                         § 30mm beam size would be better than 10mm.
    74                                 AK: to follow up with JPas.
    75                         § Platform and robot for multiple irradiations.
    76                         § Clatterbridge experiments can go through 130 dishes at a time.
    77         Status updates
    78                 Proton capture - JPo
    79                         § COMSOL needed for the EM simulation of the Gabor lens.
    80                         § Would be good to also do the plasma simulation in COMSOL.
    81                         § AK got a quote from COMSOL. Looking into options for reducing the cost.
    82                 Beam transport - WS
    83                         § GPT studies to verify tracking with and without space charge.
    84         Instrumentation
    85                 PPD will provide input to this.
    86                 For the baseline, include a statement of the need for diagnostics and how they will be used, e.g. during commissioning and running.
    87         AOB
    88                 KL: Steering group set up. Will have SG meetings.
    89                         § Add SG meetings to the wiki.
