    1313 * **KL/RB**: Liaise to make sure wiki has list of upcoming conferences to target.
    1414  * **Stands.**
    15  * **PP/KL** to reach out to Wendy Berkeley;
    16   **Done.**
    17  * **JPar** to reach out to Brm person
    18   * **Done.** Spoke to his colleague Jo Morris; MCMPanel.  Allysia Estacio Gomes in MRC, then to Charlotte Durkin ,, head of theme for MCMB Panel.  There it stands

    22222. //LhARA/ITRF PA1 progress update: // CW \\
    23  * 18 month ... author list ...
    24  * WP2: experimental run; proton-production development and optimisation at the end
    25  * WP3: Milan now introduced; discussion of code etc.
    26   * 150V --> 350V, see if get linear increase in space-charge containment; simulation development
    27  * WP4: My summary; EMP;
    28   * Write to Massimo ...
    29  * WP5: Final consultation meeting cancelled -- need to think about whether it is the first of the new series.
    30  * WP6: Going OK.
    31  * WP7: Bio; discussion with Marie Boyd; experiments are well defined.  Lists of equipment defined.  Beam line initial guess will be presented tomorrow.  10MeV => mylar not plastic.  Beam line.
    32  * WP8: Opportunity; health side, radical change?  Starmer -- update to get med tech world leading ... meeting with Massimo, meeting in October, CSR by September
    33   * CJ: green tech, infrastructure organisation outside UKRI--watch out
     23 * WP2: Good progress in recent experimental run to study proton-production.  Development of contrast of laser to improve coupling of laser into target.  Optimisation of proton production carried out at the end of the run.
     24 * WP3: M.Patel now introduced to the group.  Begun discussion of codes; etc.  Working to upgrade potential from 150V to 350V to see whether there is the predicted linear increase in space-charge containment.  Continued development of simulation.
     25 * WP4: Good beam test in Brm.  Demonstrated linearity of scintillator response.  Reconstructed Bragg peak.  Now working on preparation for LMU test.  Discussion of EMP, input from Strathclyde important.  M.Maxouti to visit LMU to make sure constraints are understood.
     26  * **Agreed** that KL would write to M.Noro to ask that Verasonics amplifier and digitiser system is underwritten by project.
     27 * WP5: Final consultation meeting has been cancelled as it has not yet been advertised and summer break makes it hard to establish.  **Agreed** to return to organising the meeting as the the first consultation meeting of the new series for the bridging period.
     28 * WP6: Work progressing on study of FFA magnet etc.
     29 * WP7: JPar discussion with Marie Boyd; experiments are well defined.  Lists of equipment defined.  Beam line initial guess will be presented tomorrow.  Planning beam energy of 10MeV implies that need to prepare mylar-based cell containment.
     30 * WP8: Progressing engagement activities.  PP/M.Noro introductory meeting planned.  Recognition of need to enhance engagement and outreach in run-up to and during the bridging period.
