== Agenda ==
 * Status updates
 * Geant4 User conference - summary and discussion.
 * AOB

== Notes ==
Present: HT, Ruth, Will, Ollie, Ajit

* HT
	* Fixed the emittance issue.
	* Operating point moved away from vertical resonance but at cost of intensity.
* Ruth
	* Lectures with bio-engineering.
	* Case studentship preparation.
	* Keen to do small fields with x-rays.
	* Think about how you can do patient specific dosimetry.
	* Do something comparable with the amorphous silicon detector. Would like independent verification of the calibration.
	* FLASH RT: Stanford did cell and mice irradiation.
	* John is keen on FLASH electron irradiation on patients.
	* Hammersmith linac in a bunker in the hospital.
	* AK to set up a meeting.
	* Imaging 
		* Need to integrate with commercial code.
		* Extracting from DICOM files doesn't always work perfectly.
	* Genomics information mining.
		* Based on functional MRI and PET/CT data.
		* Most patients will often have a basic MRI as part of diagnosis.
	* Camarie working on auto-contouring PhD.
* Will
	* Looking at LARA beam line in BDSIM.
	* Discrepancy in the solenoids being propagated downstream. Beam matches starting after solenoids.
* Ollie
	* Working on safety documentation for laser downstairs. Will hopefully be ready by the end of the year.
	* Ollie to send output from EPOCH simulation.

* G4 User Conference. Lots of interesting talks.
	* Laser-driven ion beams
		* Paris keen to collaborate.
		* Ollie to dig out contacts.
	* Dosimetry.
		* MedAustron using G4 to do patient specific dosimetry.
