=== 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
- Initial measurements of sci-fi arrays
- Provide plan for Master's students who will count photons from UV source for sci-fi arrays
- **PH**: Investigate how to get the light out of the vacuum chamber
- **Unassigned**: Investigate how a phosphor sheet could be incorporated into the design of the cell dish
- **Unassigned**: 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
- **Unassigned**: Obtain multi-chamber haemocytometers (Might be able to use Birmingham's)
- **Unassigned**: Run controls to examine how long the cells can survive vertically

Improve the spatial variation
- Decide the energy we should be optimising for
 - **RW**: Examine energy spectra variation
 - Find LET for different energies in the cell dish

Other Beamlines
- **JMcG**: Simulate BELLA
- **JMcG**: Talk to ELI people and simulate ELI
- Build a bid towards ELI
