Gabor Lens meeting: 23FEB2023; 16:00 GMT
Present: CB(chair), KL, BB, RH, MC, CW
Apologies: EB, SE
Notes
1a. Recently infrequent meetings due to industrial action, disruption expected to continue.
1b. Previous actions completed (see below).
2a. ITRF - nothing further from collaboration meeting. PDRA due in a few months, existing personnel contributing further (see item #4).
2b. STFC R&D consortia - no natural home for Capture, & too short notice to submit new this time. Work with other collaborators for future application.
3a. IAB review response still in progress. Full draft expected in 2 weeks.
4a. Base model for loading electrons into trap being developed for VSim & WarpX. Model uses dispirate timescales so relevant for plasma trap. Strathclyde colleagues previously looked at similar model, worth opening discussions. Alternatives (better) codes available for '2-stream' simulations.
5a. A 'detailed' review of possibly required capture resources to be undertaken. Relevant for ITRF 6 month review, costed risks, and targeting of e.g. responsive mode grant.
.
6a. Due to time, meetings skimmed over:
6b. EB presenting invited talk at 6-11Mar23 Laser and Plasma Accelerators Workshop 2023. Lagos, Algarge, Portugal. https://lpaw23.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/
6c. CB unable to register for 27-30Mar23 - IOP Annual Physics Plasma Conference, Oxford, UK. https://www.iop.org/events/49th-iop-annual-plasma-physics-conference. BB has similar issue & believes it an IT issue.
6d. 7-12May23 - 14th International Particle Accelerator Conference (IPAC). Venice, Italy. - Abstract submitted with WP2. https://www.ipac23.org/. Due to beamtime start at CERN, difficulties for ALPHA personnel to attend.
6e. 3-7 July 2023 - 49th European Conference on Plasma Physics, Bordeaux, France. https://eps2023.github.io/
7a. Discussion regarding use of microbeams vs. FLASH.
7b. Discussion regarding trap/lens options for ensuring beam purity.
7c. RH aware of M.D. colleague with overlapping interests.
