Minutes:
Milestones achieved
THz sensor arrived
Zeonix lenses arrived
Hot wire lamp tested and output investigated with filters by Mai
Martin skimmer installed.
Longitudinal FI designed, installed and tested - no clear signal resulting from FI of hydrogen. We cannot trust the FI signal unless we know where it comes from - instead we decide to go for the C foil excitation to 2s then laser excitation to rydberg states.
Proton source constructed and tested at above 5kV.
Belkher switch tested.
Suggest that we measure the THz power as we add more PE films to better understand the THz spectral density.
Edmund optics lenses are very transparent below 1THz, JF could measure the transmission through the Plastic lenses.
We could buy bandpass filters for 3 THz from QMC.
