Present: Fern Pannell, Stefano Mazzoni, Edda Gschwendner, John Farmer, Collette Pakuza, Marlene Turner, Matthew Wing, David Cooke

Follow up:

  • The tables/values for the magnet settings for different plasma lengths/ uncertainty bounds will be ready before the start of the next Run. Comment: MT, it would be great if you could share them so that we can have a look before to understand dependencies and scalings. To do: DC to share the information. FP to put tables of camera pixel to energy / new camera position with beam position on the screen on the wiki.
  • BG subtraction on the new spectrometer GUI still needs to be checked. To do: FP, DC on the first day of the next run.
  • New GUI: Great progress, To do: FP to improve BG subtraction and combine the profile
  • To do: FP, DC to present agreement of e-beam ICT and spectrometer measurements during the next meeting. 
  • CLEAR: analysis also progressing. To do: DC to present at a future meeting

Run 2c design --> Discussion initiated by MT, now becoming urgent with approval of Run 2c and limited timeline

  • SM: butterfly still best known method. Tests on synchrotron radiation were presented in yesterdays BI meeting
    • To do: Follow up with Joe and a presentation in PEB showing feasibility for expected AWAKE parameters, if positive, include window in the design of the Run 2c spectrometer and present preliminary options in TB
  • MW: what is the status on the betatron radiation emittance diagnostics?
    • JF: physics case not yet complete. Still needs to be validated that it could work
    • To do (all): check for results in Barney's Thesis
  • To proceed on the Run 2c design:
    • Define specifications. To do: MT to collect information
    • Next step: Discuss design options, validate design

FP presentation:

  • Camera array and new spec camera complete
  • To do: follow up on possible saving issue in the .h5 files for CAMs: 5-7, possibly ROI cameras
  • To do: share instructions on how to use new camera including tables on the wiki
  • To do: understand why beam appear split on the old spectrometer camera. Hypothesis: fire window. SM suggest installation of test target
  • Waterfall plot in progress, first version runs smoothly
  • Possibly a discrepancy in energy calibration between old/new cameras at the very high energy end (low dispersion) of the screen. To do: FP to investigate and estimate uncertainties.
