Summary of actions required

In-Beam Diagnostics

• RW, CD: Study correlation between laser diagnostics and mean dose
• CD, TP: Refine evaluations of LET in the cells with the RCF in front
• CD: Predict the cell dish dose from the RCF in front of it
• PH: Investigate how to get the light out of the vacuum chamber
• Investigate how a phosphor sheet could be incorporated into the design
• Acquire a glass sheet

Bio Next Steps

• EM: Write up a biology plan
  • Decide whether to use Marie's lab and whether to stick with HeLa
• EM, MB, JP, RA: Meet to finalise details
• Unassigned: Obtain an inverted microscope

Improve the spatial variation

• CD, JMcG: Investigate how to achieve uniformity without a scatterer in place
