| | 7 | 1. //Introduction, notes and actions//: KL/All |
| | 8 | * **JPo:** Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens |
| | 9 | * **Stands.** Still seeking the dimensions of the present Gabor lens. |
| | 10 | * **KL/RB:** Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine |
| | 11 | * **Stands.** |
| | 12 | * **TSD:** Provide beam envelope as a function of distance along the beam line for CW to plot |
| | 13 | * **Done.** |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | 2. //Updates on the calculation of instability//: **RB** |
| | 16 | - With design in hand, RB can prepare a calculation of the instablisities. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | 3. //[https://ccap.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/trac/attachment/wiki/Research/GaborLens/Meetings/2020/05/21/E_inj_whyte.pdf Electron injection simulations]//: **CW** |
| | 19 | - Get electrons on axis by shaping electron emitter. |
| | 20 | - RB: optimise to get electrons on axis to limit diocrotron instability. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | 4. //Updates on the particle generation//: **HT** |
| | 23 | - Dose-rate calculation. |
| | 24 | - Has run a simulation with SMILEI and is now beginning to unpack it |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | 5. //ERC proposal timeline//: **KL**/discussion |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | 6. //Discussion of plasma simulation code - CST vs VSIM//: **All** |
| | 29 | - Some experience at Strathclyde; CST has recent upgrade. |
| | 30 | - We discuss possible ways forward and conclude that we take a practical approach. Use VSIM from DF for now. Look at CST as we go. |
| | 31 | - TSD thinks VSIM more powerful that CST. So, happy with parallel approach. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | 7. AoB |
| | 34 | - None. |
