Minutes of Meeting hold on 09/11/04, Begin 11:00
present: JDA, DH, JC, CR, LB, GR, MT, JP, WRH (recorder)

Next DRAGON meeting on Nov. 16 will be held at 10:30 again!

0) last week minutes: approved with commendation
1) run planning for next week:
	JDA: general overview plan discussed last week, but detailed plan needed
	LB: we will start with 12C and 16O measurement,
	energy values: 0.2 MeV/u and 0.8 - 1.6 MeV/u in steps of 0.2 ;
	all charge states; need charge state distribution
	run will start thursday morning (18/11/04); maybe start tuning wednesday
	night; people are needed for shifts.
	DH: first run will be study of thin SiN window on IC as proposed by CV 
last week.
2) report on various DRAGON systems and operations
	DH: stoppage of DAQ during recent run with IC was not due to IC which is
        functioning properly; CV did tests
	DH: all DRAGON system set to go with the two ED units being slowly 
conditioned.
	LB states the ED are not needed at too high a voltage and may not be used 
given
	the small difference between FCCH and FCM2
	DH: a special library has been found so that NOVA runs well now.
3) NSERC and EEC:
JC: NSERC grant and EEC proposal submitted,
JP: did not submit the F18 EEC proposal for December but may for June 2005,
CV: EEC proposal submitted,
CR submitted report on 26Al(pg)27Si to EEC;
LB has finished his reports and
JDA submitted report on E995.
4) JDA talks about two other experiments submitted:
a) group in England want to do 12C+16O fusion/capture as a follow up to 
their C12 +C12 study
b) 11Li on Zn70 to measure fusion cross section values, beam up to 1.8 MeV/u;
    a radiochemistry experiment and detect the gamma rays of the decay of 
As products;
    you can predict expected excitation function from known code, compare 
with measurements;
    then compare also to 8Li and 9Li induced reactions, which have a shape;
    straight forward experiment.
5) JDA: current experiments E995, now have window of access to off line ECR ;
         study dilution of 13C, get yield curves simulating 11C in the gas 
target on the low energy proton;
         if success with 13C then 11C real run on the offline ECR and then 
maybe on-line ECR.
6) LB asks if any work on GEANT simulations is done:
         CR will assist with DG and MT to combine the two versions;
         MT will continue on GEANT simulations of C12 experiment following 
this action.
7) DH shows E_T_T-plots of 23Na(p,g)24Mg strong resonance and then the weak 
low energy resonance;
   (see attached 1).
    nice narrow peak for the stronger higher energy resonance and there is 
a hint of a real peak
    at about the right time in the weak resonance spectrum.
8) CV has ordered 5 thin SiN windows; have to check on the DSSSD detector 
sent for repair.
