KL and HTL spoke to ZN about HTL helping with the Smilei simulations. * Electric field. KL to look into this too. * Focussing strength for electric field in IPAC 2019 paper . See wiki. * CW circulated to few * AK to add to wiki. * System updates * Beam transport * WS: Stage 1 simulations using idealised and realistic beam. Good transmission with idealised beam and version 4.2 of the lattice. * JPas: Arc has been redesigned to eliminate simultaneous minima in both planes to be used with v4.2 lattice arc * Details on Stage 1 redesign: now has 3 lenses and 4 quads. * Stage 2 - JPas * Details of injection being worked out. * JPas to send AK beta and alpha as a function of S (calculated by BeamOptics). == Action Items == * AK to add Colin's note to the wiki. * JPas to send AK beta and alpha as a function of S (calculated by BeamOptics).
