== Agenda ==
 * Action items from last meeting.
  * AK to note the instrumentation requirements for the definition of the baseline. 
  * OE to circulate the blank risk assessment form.
  * AK to arrange meeting to discuss the laser target interface.
  * JPar to look into spot scanning beam specs for in vivo experiments.
  * AK to prepare abstract for upcoming abstract deadlines.
  * AK to ask Simon for a repository to store the simulation input files.



 * System updates.
  * Laser driven proton and ion source.
  * Proton and ion capture.
  * Stage 1 beam transport: Beam transport and delivery to the in vitro end station.
  * Stage 2 beam transport: Post-acceleration and beam delivery to the in vivo end station.
  * Biological end stations.
  * Infrastructure and Integration.
  * Project plan for the delivery of LhARA.
  * Safety.
  * End-to-end simulation.
  * Instrumentation.
 * A.O.B.
  * Plenary meeting talks.

== Notes ==
Participants: KL, HTL, JPas, GA, WS \\
Apologies: JPar

 * Previous action items
  * AK to note the instrumentation requirements for the definition of the baseline. 
   * Done
  * OE to circulate the blank risk assessment form.
   * Done
  * AK to arrange meeting to discuss the laser target interface.
   * Doodle poll created. Date will be finalised soon.
  * JPar to look into spot scanning beam specs for in vivo experiments.
   * Stands.
  * AK to prepare abstract for upcoming abstract deadlines.
   * JPas circulated abstract for IPAC. Other abstracts will follow on from this.
  * AK to ask Simon for a repository to store the simulation input files.
   * Done.
 * System updates
  * beam transport - JPas
   * Working on definitions of the FFA.
  * beam transport - WS
   * Simulations for stage 1 and comparisons with BDSIM and GPT
   * transmission goes from 1% for q=1e9 to 25% for q=1e8.
   * Issue with beam definitions.
  * Infrastructure and integrations.
   * Ian from TD will prepare the updates of the floor plan.
   * AK: need to start thinking about costing.
   * Have order of magnitude guess. Can use existing projects to get comparison of costs.
   * GA: what does Instrumentation cover.
   * AK: Definition at the bottom of the pre-CDR preparation page [wiki:/Research/DesignStudy/PreCDR].
   * Controls and monitoring included in integration but may want to include fast feedback specific monitoring in instrumentation.
   * GA: JT spoke to CLF and will follow up.
  * Simulations
   * Fix on using ROOT as persisted format. Provide conversions for other formats.
   * JPas: BDSIM simulation through to injection septum. FFA. Septum to end station in BDSIM.
   * KL: interface at the switching magnet?
   * Discussion on best location of the interface.
   * Interface at input to the septum and extraction after septum.
   * AK: Will prepare a wiki page for simulation.
