= SmartPhantom meeting: Wednesday 2^nd^ August 2019, 13:00 BST, 14:00 CEST = == Notes: == ** Present:** KL, HTL, AK, LC, MP 1. Welcome/introduction: KL * We introduced ourselves: Liam, design engineer (RAL); HTL, AK, KL physicists (Imperial); Monika, responsible for dosimetry/instrumentation (TUW). 2. Status of SmartPhantom preparation: HTL * [raw-attachment:meeting1.pdf Slides]. Points noted: * In preparation for the exposure we may need to plan a CT of the SmartPhantom for the TPS calculation. * In the measurement plan we need to include: * An exposure with the SmartPhantom and an ionisation chamber to cross calibrate the energy reconstruction; and * An exposure with the SmartPhantom and the "Linx camera" to cross calibrate he position reconstruction. 3. Water phantom and preparation for beam at MedAustron: MP * [raw-attachment:MP-IMG-1.jpg Sample holder in water phantom]; * [raw-attachment:MP-IMG-2.jpg water phantom, front view]; * [raw-attachment:MP-IMG-3.jpg sample holder]. * The phantom that is being planned for the measurements is the same as that used as the basis for the SmartPhantom design. 4. Discussion and next steps * Ethernet is available in the research room; * **MP**: Will check the beam energy spread, perhaps as a function of energy. * There is a trigger signal in the research room. It seems likely that this is the synchrotron cycle-start signal. **MP**: agreed to check the definition of the trigger signal. * The electronics should go to the side of the water phantom, not behind. **MP**: will make a sketch of the space available for the water phantom, the SmartPhantom, and its electronics. The couch will be included in the sketch. * We need to develop an installation, commissioning, calibration, and exposure plan. **Agreed** to work on this together. * It is permitted to use stainless steel studding in the station supports. * We **agreed** to consider the construction of a model to allow an early fit-check. * What is the minimum distance from the flask that we can put the detector? We have a flask at Imperial and can begin to study this. * We agreed that **MP**: would make a sketch ('technical drawing') of the water phantom. **HT**: will circulate and post the water phantom specs. * We discussed the requirement to position the SmartPhantom accurately and to maintain its position. **LC**: will consider the positioning mechanism. 5. DONM * Standing invitation to MP to join SmartPhantom meetings. Contact with MP can be maintained by email and phone. Specific meetings can be arranged as required. === Summary of actions: === * **MP**: will check the beam energy spread, perhaps as a function of energy. * **MP**: will check the definition of the trigger signal. * **MP**: will make a sketch of the space available for the water phantom, the SmartPhantom, and its electronics.
