Notes

Present: CW, JPas, AK, WS, GA, KL, JPar

  • Action items
    • CW: No response from others, will try again.
      • Main issue is to determine how close to the target the first lens can be and provide options for differential pumping, shielding against activation, route out for the laser, etc.
      • AK will try to arrange a meeting this week.
  • JPas: Chris Rogers suggested using a solenoid lens to separate electrons and protons.
  • Floor plan
    • End stations: Only other detail is reconfiguration for 2 end stations.
    • JPas: independent extraction ports for the FFA. Would affect cost.
      • AK: Could increase foot print.
    • AK: details of the extraction.
      • Should add this on the floor plan update.
    • JPas: no dispersion matching for injection into FFA.
    • AK: is there any additional floor space needed for the in vivo experiments?
      • JPar: The existing box on the ground floor is fine for the irradiations.
      • AK: Any updates on the holding facility?
        • JPar: spoke to Mark Hill, won't need much space for the holding facility. Goal is to have a small space. Shouldn't need to be included in the floor plan, can just have this as a comment in the pre-CDR.
    • AK: Capture section may need to add power supplies.
    • AK: Beam transport. Need details to work out floor plan.
    • JPas: don't have spec for in vivo beam.
    • JPar: Depends on what experiments are being done. Would like a range of beam sizes.
      • JPar: to define beam specs for in vivo experiments.
    • GA: Looking at expanding on the WBS. Want to see laser safety to pare down safety case from ISIS level of detail.
    • KL: Need to include access.
  • WBS
    • JPas: Abort line should be on the floor plan.
  • Parameter table
    • Needs to include sufficient detail to define the baseline.
    • Including details on collimators, rebunching cavities, spaces between
    • CW: Should add charge density.
      • JPas: and magnetic field, collimator
    • AK: What would be the lowest extraction energy that would be of interest.
      • JPar: 15MeV in vivo would be for very superficial tumours.
    • AK: level of detail for the FFA
      • JPas: Need more detail to be able to fully define the magnet such that a designer can do an engineering solution.
  • AOB
    • KL:
      • RFI talk went well. Hopeful that we may get endorsement of the concept in the future.
      • IBC have arranged a special edition of a nuclear physics journal and we have been invited to submit an abstract. Deadline early December.
      • Also IPAC, PTCOG, APAC.
      • AK to prepare list of the 4 abstracts needed. One abstract, 4 different "spins".
      • SG meeting on Thursday. AK will present baseline design.
      • AK to draft outline R&D plan and circulate for comments before Thursday.
