= LhARA end station R&D and vertical beam line development meeting : 21Sep21; xx:00 BST = == Notes == __2 year objectives:__ 1. Consultation with ‘users’. TP ran an earlier consultation – results from this should be fed into this consultation. We note that there will be differing requirements for different users, for example. a. Jason P set up could be relatively simple but could need additional infrastructure for hypoxia among other requirements b. RFI – objectives here are much more complex and require significant infrastructure investment. 2. Systems engineering – basic reality check – layout - see previous Neil Bliss input to WP6 3. ‘Small’ investment in BU beamtime. Can we provide money for access costs for Birmingham and use this to attract other diagnostics groups. ~£1k/day – 20-25 days over 2 years? Set up days can be zero cost to user if appropriately scheduled. __5 year objectives:__ Instrumentation of a ‘low energy’ system fit for use. Requires beam monitoring on beamline and immediately before test station. Diagnostics should include: 1. Current pick ups 2. CarstenW gas system a. Post Doc plus PhD? b. Needs expt 3. Sci Wire – JM RAL 4. TPrice larger 2D system 5. Outcomes from yr1-2 task3 __Additional notes:__ • TP notes Ionisation chamber will not work – NPL input confirms this. • TP discuss with Stuart Green ‘other groups with money’ potential to collate numerous smaller money pots to provide sufficient funds for end station work. • JP if it were possible to get Birmingham vertical beam line up and running relatively quickly, we could use Birmingham as a test bed for LhARA, this would allow tests at a mock-up an end station. In terms of diagnostics testing the vertical beam line is not required. ----
