14:20 → 14:40 Access, Safety, Radiation Protection

14:40 → 14:45 GIF & DRD1 & MiniCACTUS (H4)

Speakers: Eraldo Oliveri (CERN), Federico Ravotti (CERN), Giuseppe Pezzullo (CERN), Martin R. Jaekel (CERN), Yorgos Tsipolitis (National Technical Univ. of Athens (GR))

DRD1 H4(PPE134) 2024 Test Beam _H2-H4_preparatoryMeeting.pdf

• DRD1: Beam time starting 10th of April, they can profit from installation earlier, To be confirmed. Usual muon beams + (maybe) 1 slot of a few electrons to be seen. 
• GIF++ : Usual files & usual configuration. In case of extension they would really profit :) 
• In case of extension, more weeks can be assigned. 

14:45 → 14:50 ALICE PHOS (H2)

Speakers: Iouri Sibiryak (National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (RU)), Mikhail Ippolitov (National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (RU)), Yuri Kharlov (Institute for High Energy Physics of NRC Kurchatov Institute (RU))

PHOS_2024-H2fin.pdf

• To be installed possibly before 1st of May
• Purity high only for the lower part of the momenta (in parallel with NA64)
• Safety to contact and clarify setup, Vacuum possibly down to beyond M1 platform.

14:50 → 14:55 VLAST (H2)

Speaker: Jianhua Guo (Chinese Academy of Sciences (CN))

VLAST_BeamlineMeeting(H2).pdf

• PID to be clarified (XCETs)
• Dipole (MBPL?) to be clarified 
• Max hadron momentum 350 GeV/c OK as maximum
• Electrons purity > 100 GeV/c low --  OK with it. 

14:55 → 15:00 ALICE FOCAL (H2)

Speakers: Arturo Tauro (CERN), Max Philip Rauch (University of Bergen (NO)), Tommaso Isidori (The University of Kansas (US))

SPS_generalUM_FoCal_2024_new.pdf

• XSCA table needed ; 
• Rate 1kHz or slightly more ; Maybe perform scans of different intensities ; 
• Not interested in electrons in May ; Maybe be interested in pure electrons later in the year.

• Schedule to be clarified  (week 15/16 ???) ;
• Purity not important ; 
• For LHCb-ECAL (Loris) : To be coordinated with a few different wobblings to acheive a higher purity.
