      • Differences between LCC106.1 and 106.2
            ○ Optimisation was done without beam-beam and positive offset
            ○ Now done with beam-beam and negative energy offset for
      • MIK status and plans (S. Yue)
            ○ Important to determine the beam stay-clear definition in PB for MIK concept design
            ○ With zero phase advance the phase space is still deformed .
                  § Need input from ABP for criteria of significance for the deformation
                  § Ultimately could be tested in tracking ?
                  § If Sen could provide a python script to include those elements, but presently use custom element not yet merged in xtrack
                  § Or if Sen could provide a full deformed beam distribution
            ○ Why is the vertical phase space not seem to be conserved for the large ellipse
            ○ Also a concern for the beam halo
                  § For now COLL takes an arbitrary number of 1% from 3 sigma up and considers various distributions
                  § COLL still plans to generate realistic halo but present best model only considers quantum lifetime
            ○ Matching of the injected beam may require non-linear matching in the transfer line
      • Mirrored custom optics to investigate the pi-phase advance concept
            ○ Present model is increasing the
            ○ Is it something the optics team has some interest and possibility to work on ?
            ○ In a real design the dispersion would certainly be smaller than 1.4m if the pi-optics is squeezed in the straight section
                  § Lower dispersion should be OK with the MIK since we don't need large beam size
                  § We should adapt the hacked version to make it work and compare with the zero-phase advance
      • Polarised bunches
            ○ We need to first understand what happens
      • Top-up injection results w/ LCC106.2.1 (M.A. Jebramcik)
            ○ Now includes markers in PB, can ask for changes
            ○ Now MA extended in the negative direction, where the beam is injected
                  § This tracking uses 1.02%, while on-axis is 1.06% -> idea would be to keep the hybrid scheme
            ○ Injection conducted with beam-beam, quantum, BS, coupling and bumpers
            ○ With 150 MV it reaches higher performance, at 90MV it is really on the edge
            ○ Presently without errors, so more comfortable margin at 150MV
            ○ Giulia
                  § confirms those preliminary results and the critical injection points
                  § Will conduct those tracking with collimation soon
            ○ If Sen rematches the injection strength and identifies the injection point, and the delta
      • Giulia will prepare one slide about the top-up injection status for Frank
