Description

The aims of the meeting are to:

  • Review status of “must haves” of the BGC V3 Stage 1

  • Summarise the knowhow gained at Cockcroft, GSI and with the LHC fluorescence experiment since the last meeting at CERN November 2018. Identify the open issues with this knowledge gained with the aim of an operational instrument.

  • Review the administration progress (Planning, ECR done and in progress, Infrastructure requests, project founding, responsibility share boundaries)

  • Update on the status, requirements and compatibility with the HEL test stand including expected light yields for HEL test stand and HEL of the LS3 BGC

  • Agree on an experimental programme on the Cockcroft 2 test bench (V2) for 2019 end half to start 2020

  • Skimmer and Nozzles: Define optimum dimensions for the V3

  • Update on pumping and gauges and V3 control system

  • Evaluate realistic goals for the performance concerning precision and resolution

  • Programme and instrument requirements for a residual gas fluorescence test setup for Run 3
