>Minutes of Meeting of Oct. 26, 2004 > >LB,AO,GR,CR,MT,JDA,DH, CV, Wolf,JP,DG > >last weeks minutes: approved without comment > >DH reports on safety review of IC change, went just fine. Mike Laross >implemented epics controls, DFOT tested non-isobutane parts, commissioning >and debugging will take place in afternoon. > >JP reports on substantial rewrite of analyzer to simplify and implement >calibration. > >AO: made some changes and now MIDAS runs slightly more reliably than >before. AO found the EPICS thread in some funny state causing problems... > >Beam plans this week/weekend: > >23Na beam: > >1. measure Er at 515 keV/u for energy calibration for 21Ne(p,g) > >2. measure Er at 138 keV/u, 150 keV/u beam energy for 23Na(p,g), also 160 >or 170 > >3. Measure difference in IC energy spectra using conventional window and >new SiN 5x5mm thin window. > >MT and DG have started merging different GEANT simulations; they had two >separate ones. They are checking consistency. > >22Na(p,g) justification presented by JC. Many issues raised in the details >of the experiments, especially wrt target characterization. It is decided >to use stable sodium to make the targets first, perfect the process, then >move on to 22Na. > >Science priority list approved, with changes > >E995 (11C(p,g)): JDA will be proceeding with Alternate Prod. Study by >introducing >13CO2 into ECR on the off-line test stand, as precursor to 11C, to learn >about efficiency of ECR for > CO2 and to mimic the C11 production system. Many issues were raised > regarding testing. Meetings will >follow... > >ended at 11:46
