| 7 | | 1. //Introduction, [wiki:Research/GaborLens/Meetings/2020/08/27 notes and actions]//: **KL/All** |
| 8 | | * None |
| 9 | | * Big news: proposal submitted! KL will post to the applications page on the LhARA page on the wiki. |
| 10 | | |
| 11 | | 2. //Progress on beam experiments paper//: **TN** \\ |
| 12 | | Meeting today: not so much progress because of work on the proposal. Hope to make more progress next week. |
| 13 | | |
| 14 | | 3. //Updates on the particle generation//: **HT** \\ |
| 15 | | HTL has found paper describting 2D and 3D TNSA simulations. Paper suggests that 2D simulation over-estimates cut-off energy. Indication that present results on end-point is a factor of 2 different between 3D estimate and 2D estimate. Needs now to look at how scaling for energy is done. \\ |
| 16 | | 2D gives over-estimate of the flux because in 3D force goes as 1/r^2. In 2D its a cylindrical structure making it a 1/r dependence. \\ |
| 17 | | Agree that need to get a 3D simulation for comparison. Need to get a meeting with M.King at Strathclyde. Need to benchmark the codes. \\ |
| 18 | | Action: **CW** Setup meeting with M.King to discuss results. |
| 19 | | |
| 20 | | 4. //Updates on simulation of "IC" lens//: **TSD** \\ |
| 21 | | See [raw-attachment:LhARA_Capture_27Aug20_TSD.pdf slides]. Points noted: |
| 22 | | * Offset of magnetic and electric axes does not lead to an offset in the centroid of the electron-cloud rotational motion. |
| 23 | | * CW comments that he wants now to review the new design to see how to introduce an ExB rotation. |
| 24 | | |
| 25 | | 5. //ERC proposal//: **KL/All** \\ |
| 26 | | * Submitted; now we wait. |
| 27 | | |
| 28 | | 6. //AOB//: **All** |
| 29 | | * KL: EPSRC THT: need to worry about how we present the activity. General feeling is that we should apply. |
