| | 5 | 1. **[wiki:Research/DesignStudy/Meetings/2020/2020-10-27 Notes of previous meetings] and actions ** \\ |
| | 6 | - Status of actions: |
| | 7 | - None recorded. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | 2. **Updates:** |
| | 10 | - // Any update: All // |
| | 11 | - WS: has been working in interface between BDSIM and OPAL. Input interface is working. However, so far beam is not making a complete circuit of the ring and being extracted back into BDSIM. Work continues. |
| | 12 | - HTL: Getting close to delivering particles from his SMILEI simulation to BDSIM. HTL and JPa beginning to work on re-optimisation of capture section. |
| | 13 | - TSD: Continued improvement in understanding the original Gabor lens using VSIM. More energetically working on development of paper. |
| | 14 | - CW (in absentia): is beginning to work on a design revision of the Gabor lens taking into account the lessons learnt with the first prototype/ |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | 3. **Next steps discussion: All** \\ |
| | 17 | Time line for EPSRC THT proposal: |
| | 18 | - // Date of Outline Proposal review panel meeting//: week commencing 23Nov20. \\ |
| | 19 | - // Deadline for Full proposals//: 16:00 10Feb21. \\ |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | Preparation by w/p identified in our THT proposal: \\ |
| | 22 | 1 // Outline Conceptual Design Report for the PoP biological-assessment facility // \\ |
| | 23 | Preparation should include articulation of key USPs for LhARA and development of experimental simulation activity independent of the fate of the THT proposal. \\ |
| | 24 | 2 // Proton- and ion-acoustic imaging // \\ |
| | 25 | Preparation should include development of simulation activity and development of proposal independent of the fate of the THT proposal. |
| | 26 | 3 // Evaluation of the benefits of the initiative & optimisation of the R&D programme // \\ |
| | 27 | Preparation should include development of first steps in the necessary programme now, independent of the fate of the THT proposal. |

| | 29 | Notes: |
| | 30 | - Need to get together with w/p leads to begin to develop the various sections and to work out the next concrete steps. |
| | 31 | - Also need to initiate discussion with the key accelerator w/p leads to define precisely the 15 month programme that would be supported by STFC. |

| | 44 | - In preparing to remind people of the meeting on [https://www.iopconferences.org/iop/1575/home Workshop on accelerator technology for particle therapy] which had been planned for 11/12 November, KL noticed that it had been postponed to 07/08 December 2020. It is important that we engage with the rest of the community working in this area. So, attendance if possible would be great. |
