| 23 | Present: Ajit Kurup, Ken Long, Jaroslaw Pasternak, Will Shields, Colin Whyte |
| 24 | Apologies: Neil Bliss, Hywel Owen |

| 26 | * Actions |
| 27 | * JP: Look at how the vacuum performance of the nozzle changes with geometry. |
| 28 | * Will keep track of this through the meetings with WP2 and WP3 on the nozzle design. |
| 29 | * Slides from Will. |
| 30 | * GDFSolve now working. |
| 31 | * Using it to optimise the beam size not Twiss alpha. |
| 32 | * Not able to get TRACE3D working in native XP or on a virtual machine.. |
| 33 | * JP: Looking at matching. Have solution for 3cm but not 1cm. Needs further study. |
| 34 | * KL: Would Docker be useful? |
| 35 | * AK: Have experience with Docker. Storing a large binary Docker container in a repository is not advisable, can instead store in the repository the Dockerfiles to build an image. |
| 36 | * WS: BDSIM has example scripts for using in Docker. Visualisation is clunky though. |
| 37 | * AK: Astra may be an alternative to TRACE3D https://www.desy.de/~mpyflo/. |
| 38 | * AK to contact Scott to find out more about Astra. |
| 39 | * CW: |
| 40 | * Regarding the discussion on Friday, increasing the Gabor lens diameter may be difficult. Would it be possible to reduce diameter of first half of the first Gabor lens to get stronger initial focussing? |
| 41 | * Discussion re pros and cons of this. |
| 42 | * AOB |
| 43 | * Request from Hywel for input beam from Elisabetta. |
| 44 | * JP: Can email this to Hywel. |
| 45 | * AK: Should set up common location for data files. Can look into using Sharepoint. |
| 46 | * AK: What is the bucket height at injection. |
| 47 | * JP: 15MeV+/-2% |
| 48 | * KL: What about lower extraction energies from the FFA, injection energy would be lower. Does that change the bucket height? |
| 49 | * JP: Will check this. |
