Summary of actions required

In-Beam Diagnostics

• Unassigned: Acquire a glass sheet
• Unassigned: Get a new RCF batch and calibrate
• PH: Investigate how to get the light out of the vacuum chamber
• CD: Simulate energy deposited in transport fibres
• KL, CD, JMcG, PH: Make a full scifi prototype
• KL, CD, JMcG, PH: Discuss visit to Birmingham to test SciFi
• RW, CD: Study correlation between laser diagnostics and mean dose
• Unassigned: Investigate how a phosphor sheet could be incorporated into the design of the cell dish

Bio Next Steps

• EM, CD, JMcG: Write up technical summary of Phase 2
• EM: Write up a biology plan for a 2 PMQ setup
• Unassigned: Obtain an inverted microscope
• Unassigned: Obtain multi-chamber haemocytometers (Might be able to use Birmingham's)
• MB, JP, MB: Meet up to plan cell survival dry run
• EM: Run controls to examine how long the cells can survive vertically

Beamline Modelling

• RW: Examine energy spectra variation
• RW, CD: Source characterisation

Other Beamlines

• JMcG: Simulate BELLA
• JMcG: Simulate ELI
