Present: Andi, Andreas, Beate, Evgeni, Florian, Halina, Marius, Massimo, Matthew, Sasha, Tony

 

Beate - funding and administrative issues

See slides

- To invite Matt Zepf and Uli Schramm to join LUXE and the monthly meetings.

- Noam Hod (Weizmann ) may be interested to join LUXE.  Beate will meet him next week.

- Will look into having a web-page set up and developing a logo.

 

Florian - machine aspects

See slides

- The question was raised of whether a permanent dipole be used ?

 

Sasha - detector aspects

See slides

- Expect laser beam to be circular so having one transverse dimension which can be varied is reasonable/realistic.

- Low number of positrons - need to account for noise and background - although should be able to measure.  A full GEANT simulation will tell us that - for the future.

- Is such a high field magnet needed ?  Detector placement may be easier.  A requirement is that the 17.5 GeV beam needs to be separated by 20 cm from initial beam line at a distance of 10 m.

 

Tony - theory aspects

See slides

- Next monthly meeting is 8 November at 10:00.

- Status of workshop write-up was discussed.  We have contributions from theory, synergies and detectors.  Matthew to chase up others.

- Massimo had discussions with David Reis: Can we excite interest of atomic and molecular physics community ?

- Weekly meeting will be in FLC control room.
