= Gabor Lens meeting: 21May20; 16:00 BST = **Present:** == Notes == 1. //Introduction, notes and actions//: KL/All * **JPo:** Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens * **Stands.** Still seeking the dimensions of the present Gabor lens. * **KL/RB:** Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine * **Stands.** * **TSD:** Provide beam envelope as a function of distance along the beam line for CW to plot * **Done.** 2. //Updates on the calculation of instability//: **RB** - With design in hand, RB can prepare a calculation of the instablisities. 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** - Get electrons on axis by shaping electron emitter. - RB: optimise to get electrons on axis to limit diocrotron instability. 4. //Updates on the particle generation//: **HT** - Dose-rate calculation. - Has run a simulation with SMILEI and is now beginning to unpack it 5. //ERC proposal timeline//: **KL**/discussion 6. //Discussion of plasma simulation code - CST vs VSIM//: **All** - Some experience at Strathclyde; CST has recent upgrade. - 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. - TSD thinks VSIM more powerful that CST. So, happy with parallel approach. 7. AoB - None. === Summary of actions: === ---- == Agenda == 1. //Introduction, notes and actions//: KL/All * **JPo:** Provide TSD with the geometry of the present prototype Gabor lens * **KL/RB:** Take a look at the Bingham et al paper on laser-driven accelerator for medicine * **TSD:** Provide beam envelope as a function of distance along the beam line for CW to plot 2. //Updates on the calculation of instability//: **RB** 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** 4. //Updates on the particle generation//: **HT** 5. //ERC proposal timeline//: **KL**/discussion 6. //Discussion of plasma simulation code - CST vs VSIM//: **All** == Connection details == Join Zoom Meeting: **https://cern.zoom.us/j/94290912699?pwd=WngvZk1oSWpyNldHT05NV3FrYWFaUT09** ----
