| | 58 | * Action items |
| | 59 | * Done |
| | 60 | * Laser |
| | 61 | * AK met OE |
| | 62 | * OE believes the target R&D would take 6 months. |
| | 63 | * KL: doesn't believe this is realistic. |
| | 64 | * Other areas should be included in the R&D programme such as simulation. |
| | 65 | * Capture - CW |
| | 66 | * Discussions with Bob Bingham. |
| | 67 | * 5 years R&D probably not enough. |
| | 68 | * AK: plan has 2 years to give an answer whether the lens will work or not. |
| | 69 | * CW: Probably won't be able to find solution to correct for instabilities in this time frame. |
| | 70 | * AK: Can move decision point to before the Stage 1 TDR. |
| | 71 | * CW circulated first draft of pre-CDR section. |
| | 72 | * Beam transport - WS |
| | 73 | * Meeting on Friday to discuss two options. See slides on simulation page. |
| | 74 | * Beam transport - HTL |
| | 75 | * Updated overleaf will post-accel section and transfer line. |
| | 76 | * Simulations of the end station and text to go in the pre-CDR |
| | 77 | * For the end station look at mono-energetic beam, 15 MeV +/- 2% and the 12MeV +/- 2%. |
| | 78 | * For high energy in vitro look at 127MeV look at range in a water phantom. |
| | 79 | * Details on the transfer line to go in the pre-CDR. |
| | 80 | * End stations |
| | 81 | * Just updated the draft of the pre-CDR. |
| | 82 | * Will speak with Karen on Thursday. |
| | 83 | * Pushing on with work at Birmingham on their FLASH capabilities. Beam time allocated in April for FLASH experiments. |
| | 84 | * Oxford have FLASH electrons and would be good to collaborate with them. |
| | 85 | * Visited Rutherford Cancer Centre (sites in Reading and Newport). Plan to do experiments in the next month (not FLASH). Machines not rated to do FLASH dose rates. |
| | 86 | * Instrumentation. - JM |
| | 87 | * First draft added to Overleaf. |
| | 88 | * AK and JMat to meet on Thursday. |
| | 89 | * AOB |
| | 90 | * KL: Letter to STFC sent re our plans for LhARA. |
