== Meeting Agenda == 

Plan for PoPLaR
1. Next SCAPA beamtime
 - Dates: July/August
 - Determine a baseline/default
  - Steps required for a better repeat of the cell irradiations done previously
   - Google doc summary and Trello

2. Aim for October
 - Paper(s)?
 - What changes are required to that baseline plan for SCAPA to achieve that by October

3. Aim for Post-October
 - Desired work/papers
 - What do we need to know before we can plan more
 - What can we do pre-October to help that

4. ELI
 - Dates?
 - How does this fit into the plan

5. Review steps required
 - Share Trello

6. DoNM 
 - 28/05/26

7. AoB
 - IPAC submitted
