    v2 v3  
    1313 - **Done**
    1414- **JP**: Consumables plan
    15  - **Done?**
     15 - **Done**
    1616- **CW**: Check service and testing of hoods
    1717 - **Stands?**
    1818- **JMcG/KL**: Remove old calendar invites
    19  - **Stands?**
     19 - **Done**
     20- Need to send out a calendar invite I think
    2021- **KL/CD**: Update angular divergence in LLO
    2122 - **Stands**
     
    23242. Strathclyde : BT, ED, RW \\
    2425- Processing the RCF from Phase 1
    25  - Energy Spectrum at cells
    26  - Energy Spectrum and Angular Divergence at Source
    27 - Update on next steps:
    28  - Alter PMQ/target mounts
    29  - Add position referencing systems to PMQ drives
    30  - Install cell rotation mount
    31  - Expected proton dose
    32 
     26 - All the RCF scanned on the relevant scanner now
     27 - Organise Calvin, Nick and Robbie to meet to discuss
     28 - Robbie to send the RCF data to Tony as well - he can calculate the calibration curve
     29 - Once we understand the dose:
     30  - Organise Robbie, Emma and Jason to discuss irradiation plan
     31- Alter PMQ/target mounts
     32 - ~5cm closer after moving the mounts
     33- Add position referencing systems to PMQ drives
     34 - Robbie has built this in
     35- Install cell rotation mount
     36 - Fine alignment and checking rotation works correctly still to be done
     37- Further updates:
     38- TP now setup to switch on quite quickly. Can pump it down easily.

    34403. Simulation CD, DA, AFr: \\
    3541- Results of an Au foil in the beamline
    36 - Further discussion of uniformity?
     42 - Mean dose drops by a factor of 10 minimum
     43 - Diaza to sample transverse distribution at several points along the beamline
     44 - Source production to be improved
     45- Calvin to investigate defocussing the quads further
     46
     47- Practicality of implementing a scattering foil
     48 - For Biology
     49  - Reduced mean dose only a problem if still aiming to do FLASH
     50 - Physically
     51  - SCAPA have an arm to use to place the foil in
     52  - Simplest position is in the vacuum tube (or maybe entry to tube)
     53   - Robbie to provide the viable positions of the foil in the beamline for simulations
     54  - Can obtain 10um Gold easily (Goodfellas)
     55  - Chris Spindloe to be the help if needed the transverse size to be reduced down

    38584. BioPrep EM, JP: \\
    39 - Fix dates for dry-run
    40 - Propose dates for proper run
    41 - Discussion of the irradiation shot plan
     59- Dry-run
     60 - Delayed due to hood availability
     61 - To be done at the beginning of the actual run.
     62 - Should not cause a delay to the actual run if the dry run cannot be completed
     63- Dates for actual run
     64 - 27th Oct - 21st Nov
     65 - Emma on annual leave 24th to 31st Oct
     66 - Jason tied up on the week of 10th. Might be available on week of 3rd.
     67 - Dates can be pushed back if necessary
     68- Plan for run
     69 - First week is obtaining proton focus again
     70 - Next two weeks is irradiation
    4271
    43725. Beam Diagnostics KL, CD: \\
    4473- Show RCF holder idea
     74 - Could do with something to fix the holder to the cell carousel
     75 - Robbie and Calvin to sit down and discuss this
    4576- Ken update on a sparse beam diagnostic
     77 - Jessel Patel is a good man to talk to at RAL about this
     78 - Ken going to chase Chris and try and find money too
