  • JPas to send AK beta and alpha as a function of S (calculated by BeamOptics).
    • Stands.

• Laser capture interface
  • KL: Should start a loop with CW and Oliver Jeremy
  • CW: Would like input on what is needed from the laser guys, especially since the tapered re-entrant part pokes 5cm inwards.
• Beam transport
  • Update to Stage 1 lattice.
  • Working on the matching, bug in the code needs fixing.
  • Stage 2 vertical arc.
    • Can use the same arc lattice as for Stage 1.
    • May need to scale lengths of the quads to make sure the magnets are not superconducting.
  • Integration
    • Discussed questions from Simeon.
      • Specific details will be finalised after the design is frozen.
      • Can make the room bigger to accommodate the laser room.
  • Instrumentation
    • AK to put JM and Alex Howard in touch.
• pre-CDR outline
  • Copy points from the R&D plan on the wiki to the relevant sections in the pre-CDR outline.
• R&D plan and schedule.
  • AK: No updates have been received yet.
• A.O.B.
  • Date of the review will be finalised soon.
  • Time of the meeting will go back to 2pm from the 11th Feb.
