     18        * Keith Middleman senior vacuum design engineer
     19                * Looking at the gas flow through the target vessel interface with the first gabor lens.
     20                * Using MOLFLOW+ (free software for accelerator vacuum modelling ).
     21                * Looked at gas desorption from the target in a diffuse scenario and for different narrower angular spreads.
     22                * CW: Would be good to do an experiment.
     23                * From the simulations it looks like the vacuum should be OK but depends on how strong the beaming affect is.
     24                * Need to also consider gas desorption from the other surfaces of the target vessel.
     25                * KM will prepare a paragraph and the tables for the design review.
     26        * Engineering update - NB
     27                * Meeting tomorrow in Strathclyde to discuss target configurations.
     28                * Further FEA work on the FETS vacuum chamber.
     29                        * Looking at trying 8mm wall thickness instead of 10mm by including radii in the corners to reduce stress.
     30                * Power consumption
     31                * Schematic update.
     32                        * Need reference design for profile monitor and the cavity to determine if the gap between lenses 2 and 3 is realistic.
     33                                * JP to provide cavity dimensions.
     34                                * AK to ask FETS for details of profile monitor.
     35                                * WS will ask IBA for details of their profile monitors.
     36                        * WP5 are charged with beam instrumentation.
     37                        * Discussion on position of the collimators.
     38                                * One after Gabor lens 3
     39                                * One just before the vertical bend 
     40                                * One half way along the vertical arc.
     41                * Slide from CH on the schematic.
     42                        * Adjustment of the positions of the Gabor lenses.
     43                        * Length between lenses 3 and 4 is critical. 
     44        * Simulations
     45                * Slides on end station dose from WS
     46                        * File that was found does not have the correct input beam so it looks like the data used in the pre-CDR was lost.
     47                        * New BDSIM model
     48                                * Uses slightly different physics list.
     49                        * 12.2 Gy/shot instead of 12.8 Gy/shot quoted in the pre-CDR.
     50                * Slides from LP on octupole and collimator optimisation.
     51                * Details from JP on FFA design.
     52                        * Found working point for high-intensity operation by using a small D (instead of a small F doublet)
