= Gabor Lens meeting: 23FEB2023; 16:00 GMT =

**Present:**  CB(chair), KL, BB, RH, MC, CW  [[BR]]
**Apologies:** EB, SE  [[BR]]

== Notes == 
1a. Recently infrequent meetings due to industrial action, disruption expected to continue. [[BR]]
1b. Previous actions completed (see below). [[BR]]

2a. ITRF - nothing further from collaboration meeting.  PDRA due in a few months, existing personnel contributing further (see item #4). [[BR]]
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.[[BR]]

3a. IAB review response still in progress. Full draft expected in 2 weeks. [[BR]]

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.  [[BR]]

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. [[BR]].

6a. Due to time, meetings skimmed over:[[BR]]
6b. **EB** presenting invited talk at 6-11Mar23 Laser and Plasma Accelerators Workshop 2023. Lagos, Algarge, Portugal. https://lpaw23.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/ [[BR]]
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. [[BR]]
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. [[BR]]
6e. 3-7 July 2023 - 49th European Conference on Plasma Physics, Bordeaux, France. https://eps2023.github.io/ [[BR]]

7a. Discussion regarding use of microbeams vs. FLASH. [[BR]]
7b. Discussion regarding trap/lens options for ensuring beam purity. [[BR]]
7c. **RH** aware of M.D. colleague with overlapping interests. [[BR]]

**DoNM:**  [[BR]]

=== Summary of actions: ===

1. **CB** to check contingency in IAB review document. [[BR]]
2. **BB** to update on IOP APPC conference registration issue.[[BR]]
3. **BB** to inquire with **EB** about EPS CPP abstract submission. [[BR]]
4. **RH** to introduce M.D. colleague. [[BR]]
5. **CB** to lead Capture resource requirement document for 21Mar2023. [[BR]]
