      Well attended talk with a few questions:
      1. Regarding beam divergence in simulation vs. reality. Simulation divergence only for ions of interest.
         
      2. Why Gabor lens? Advice provided that quadrupoles should be looked at.
         
      3. Where will LhARA/ITRF be based? Unsure.
         

6. AOB
   
   1. KL meeting with CERN colelages about possible collaboration 30 March. Plasma/Gabor support would be useful
