• Simulations
  • Update from JP:
    • Updated diagram of the ring.
      • Need to add details of the yoke.
    • Contour plot of Total B vs R and opening angle. Plot of B vs opening angle.
    • Need to add the injection line
  • Slides from WS.
    • Update on optics optimisation.
    • Lilli Platt has now finished.
    • GPT solution does not converge for spot sizes sigma=2cm or less.
    • Discussion with Tony Price, suggested smaller spot sizes not needed.
    • KL: We should provide smaller spots sizes but not necessary to deliver in the beam line, can use final focussing elements in the end station.
    • CW: Also having discussions with Tony regarding what measurements should be done for the end station.
    • Discussion on what should go in the 12 month report.
      • Should reference a technical note.
      • NB: Better to add the detail directly into the report for visibility.
• Engineering
  • Update on the schematic based on WS's comment.
    • Ross Gray is keen on the vertical arrangement of the laser.
    • Investigating having the laser beam at 25 degrees following suggestion from Ross.
    • Discussion on effect of the beam energy due to different incident angle and flexibility for different target production mechanisms.
    • NB would like comments on the schematic.
    • JP: FETS uses wire scanners for profile measurements.
    • Discussion on profile monitor technology.

• Reference design for the bunching cavities.
  • JP: Calculated the details of the cavity. Need to dig these out.
• Schematic from CH showing the 25 degree target angle. Incoming laser angle is now 40 degrees.
• Meeting tomorrow on power consumption.
