| 13 | * '''WP3''' - MC presented slides. Splitting WP3 into two overlapping worklines: Short term – to include text experiments at Swansea, design of Gabor lens, overlap with WP2 and instrumentation. Longer term – details of Gabor lens fixed, thorough testing of plasma loading , stability and reproducibility (a lot of experience with this). Proposal outline – outcomes and deliverables/ trying to define the content. Shared an attempt on costing. 2 PDRAs included. |
| 14 | '''Next jobs''' – Decision on magnet, Decision on Berkeley involvement, Costings development, Define test bench parameters, develop proposal, assign these tasks. [CW- interesting to see the costings – especially for the magnets- can we make our own ?] |
| 15 | * '''WP4''' - JM presented slides - updates for Ion Acoustic Imaging. LhARA has stage 1 and stage 2 beams, each with their own properties which may require different instrumentation. Where might we test prototype instrumentation on a beam? CERN, Birmingham, Advanced Oncotherapy - to be considered. Currently looking at restarting the work on scintillating fibre detectors as a known cross-calibration for ion acoustic dose measurements. '''Next steps:''' draft out timeline of the stages or the WP and derive manpower costings. Approach industry for information on hardware costings. EH to meet with Ken, John and Jeff to get up to speed with WP4. |
