| | 55 | Apologies: JPas |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | * Action items |
| | 58 | * JPas to send AK beta and alpha as a function of S (calculated by BeamOptics). |
| | 59 | * Stands |
| | 60 | * System updates |
| | 61 | * Laser |
| | 62 | * AK to arrange meeting to discuss R&D plan and write up. |
| | 63 | * Capture |
| | 64 | * Meeting on Friday with Colin and KL to discuss R&D plan. |
| | 65 | * KL: Arranging meeting to coordinate the work. |
| | 66 | * Beam transport |
| | 67 | * WS: Updating Stage 1 design to get alpha to 0. |
| | 68 | * Couldn't find solution. |
| | 69 | * Lattice CCAP-v5 gives an elliptical beam in the end station. |
| | 70 | * Looked at updating previous lattices. |
| | 71 | * Using octopole after lens 5 (which now must be a solenoid) gives a more uniform distribution. |
| | 72 | * AK to arrange meeting to discuss writing up. |
| | 73 | * HTL: |
| | 74 | * JPas looked at HTL's design in BeamOptics. Beta was getting very small in places. |
| | 75 | * Looking for new solution to avoid this. Found minimum beta of about 1cm but this may still have problems with space charge. |
| | 76 | * HTL to look at simulating this using GPT. |
| | 77 | * End stations - JPar |
| | 78 | * Waiting on finalising the beam line before updating floor plan. |
| | 79 | * Discussed R&D plan. For the end stations that is automation of placing samples in the beam line. |
| | 80 | * Collaboration with Birmingham. Currently looking for space to build lab there. |
| | 81 | * Will do preliminary flash research in the next few weeks |
| | 82 | * Kristoffer Petersson, now at Oxford was Lausanne, working on FLASH. Look to collaborate. They have a flash electron machine, which would complement our protons. |
| | 83 | * Will hopefully go to Manchester on the 5th March. |
| | 84 | * Infrastructure and integration - GA |
| | 85 | * Updates to layout waiting on design being finalised. |
| | 86 | * Started writing. |
| | 87 | * Spoke to CLF. Have a paragraph on safety from them. References to existing lasers. Other issues will be solved with EPAC. |
| | 88 | * CLF mentioned shielding should be between target and laser room to allow work on the laser outside the radiation area. |
| | 89 | * Progress with costing. Should have something to circulate on Monday. |
| | 90 | * GA to circulate template spreadsheet for costing to WPMs. |
| | 91 | * Instrumentation. |
| | 92 | * R&D plan |
| | 93 | * Meetings with WPMs to update details. |
| | 94 | * Should be completed Monday next week. |
| | 95 | * Write up |
| | 96 | * Review write up in Tuesday meeting next week. |
| | 97 | |
