Meeting ID: 939 7287 8124
Passcode: 769139

Intro

- CLARA

• think of practical organisation, i.e. who is paying for the beam time
• if we can extract some physics, we might get more resources

 

- Halina remarks the fact that lack of CD2 blocks contributions to LUXE from partners. Need letter of support / doesn't need to have CD2

ELBEX

Task force starting - aim to hire person to figure out tunnel sharing
Could potentially push timescale with some pre-financing
Investigate potential of using LUXE laser with xfel xrays?

Laser

coming in may, need safety permit

Theory

Interesting developments in entanglement

Higher order corrections become measurable at high xi. Think of Calo/Tracker measurements

SW and simulation

Is ACTS for telescopes in release? To be followed up
2 weeks for 3 geometries to do

EDS

Most of the team will leave at end of the year

PDS

recent updates in main meeting
tracking at E320 need longer twinax cables with custom signal repeater board
halogen-free cables for xfel regulations don't exist
ECAL-P upcoming test beam at DESY

Photon detection system

Gianluca had to leave
Backscattering calo layout optimisation/design ongoing supported by grant from Ivo

Computing and DAQ

Focus on restarting activities
LCS review highest priority
