LhARA ionacoustic dose profiling meeting: 14Jul21; 09:00 BST

Notes

1. Introduction, notes and actions of previous meeting: KL/All
   • KL Set up meeting with Colin Whyte
     • Stands
   • KL: Recontact S. Gilardone at CERN
     • Done.. Outcome circulated by email:
       S.Gilardoni (CERN) is ready to help us find a suitable beam line. He needs a short (1-2 page) summary of our requirements. Need to define beam energy, time structure, space/service requirements. Request is that we make a sketch of the proof-of-principle set up at the footprint and services level.

2. Progress updates : All
   • No updates this week.

3. One/two pager beam-specification for CERN : All
   • We discussed the issues that need to be addressed to make the 2-pager to specify the beam. The issue is that there are many variables that can be played off against each other.
   • We agreed a couple of actions to get us going:
     • JG: Summarise state of the art in literature to get a baseline for what our proof-of-principle system needs to do
     • KL/AMRL: Agree beam parameters for simulation and generate relevant beams for input to the acoustic simulation
     • KL/AMRL: Obtain from HTL the Bragg-peak calculator, test and send to JG.

4. Next steps--discussion: All

5. AOB: All
