• Simulations
  • Update from WS:
    • stage 1 injection line optimisation with space charge to achieve required injection conditions.
    • Gabor lens in BDSIM.
      • Physical geometry elements are in place.
      • Need to add fields.
  • JP: Details from CH on diagnostics and correctors to be added to the optics simulation.
  • TJK:
    • Power calculation after gap height reduction.
    • Currents have not been optimised but have come down by about half.
    • Still over the limit.
    • AG: About 35% of the power is needed for cooling so total power requirement would be of the order of 4 MW.
    • CH: FETS substation is only about 1.25MW
  • Longitudinal phase space.
    • AK to look into this.
• CW: reminder re upcoming milestone and report.
  • CH:
    • Emailed Bradley Kirk and got CAD model for the FETS FFA RF cavity. Also got some details on beam diagnostics.
    • Would like clarification on what level of detail needs to go in the report.
      • CW: Deliver the concept and a plan for the FFA but not an engineered solution.
  • Discussion on what detail should into the FFA part of the report.
  • Agreed to write up what has been done and where the design is now. Focus is on stage 1.
• Discussion re what deliverables should go into the bridging funds request.
• Engineering - CH
  • Update on coil layout in CAD.
    • 10 nested coils with terminations.
    • Expectation is that the assembly is potted.
  • CW: Plenty of detail already done and it might be useful to talk to a manufacturer at this point to see what they think.
