Notes

Present: Ajit Kurup, Ken Long, Jaroslaw Pasternak, Will Shields, Colin Whyte Apologies: Neil Bliss, Hywel Owen

• KL asked AK to run future meetings.
• Actions from previous meeting.
  • Particle distribution from Elisabetta.
    • JP: proton distribution sent to Titus who has made a small sample of this which will be analysed. No info on electrons yet.
    • AK: in the past Ollie and Zulfikar have said not much info on electrons possible from simulations.
      • KL and JP: Elisabetta can provide some info re this.
  • CAD model from Chris Baker.
    • CW: Swansea will be getting someone in ~6 months.
  • CW has organised a meeting on 13th Jan to discuss the nozzle.
• Slides from JP.
  • Distribution is for SCAPA. Protons from 2 MeV up to ~25 MeV.
  • discussion re why y distribution shows step function and has a dip in the middle. This needs to be understood.
  • Tracking simulations to exit of the nozzle.
    • Beta and alpha is different by order of magnitude.
    • Phase space distributions are similar since it is primarily defined by the nozzle geometry and nozzle distance from the target.
• Slides from WS.
  • Solenoid strength optimisation.
  • No solution to give original beam size (using MADX) if max strength is limited to 1.4T.
  • JP: Need to optimise for beta and alpha at the exit of the 3rd Gabor lens.
• AOB
  • JP: Need to prepare a presentation for WP managers meeting next week.
