DRAGON Meeting Minutes 26/9/06

Present: CR (recorder), JDA, PM, DO, CD, JP, LB, GR

1. Hardware
Ceramic tubes conditioning, up to 179kV on ED1 at last check, going to 
continue up to 200 kV> Need to consult DH on this. All in all, very 
satisfactory.

2. Acceptance
Jonty will write up an action plan for continuing acceptance tests, in 
coming few weeks.
Lothar has submitted an REA for the photodiode mounts, but hasn't heard 
anything back yet.

3. 22Na(p,g)
Mike T has suggested tuesday 3rd October for Seattle visit, and has 
consulted with U Washington on this.  May be a problem, as Lothar was 
told it was the 4th, so need Mike to confirm suggested day ASAP.

4. 18F(p,g)
Alison Laird has inquired about the possibility of a 18F(p,g) 
submission, given that there is the prospect of flourine beams this 
year. It was pointed out that we are in the same situation as we were in 
the beginning with 26Al. The group agreed that we should look into 
putting in a proposal, work done by Alison, maybe Jonty, and perhaps 
help from Chris. Chris and Jonty will present some info on the reaction 
next week.

5. AOB.
Seminar on X-Ray bursts and the 15O(a,g)19Ne reaction next monday, by R. 
Cooper from Harvard-Smithsonian.
Congratulations from all the DRAGON group to Christof and Mikaela on 
their new family addition!!
