Currently able to extract information about the bunch at the end of the linac, and
working to extract values as the linac is traversed.
- SRIM/TRIM calculations of energy and angular distributions of lead ions after passing
through carbon stripping foils, and parameterization of the probability distribution
as a function of foil thickness and incident beam energy as in the Gorelov and Marti

extract distribution parameters - general agreement when comparing results obtained for
12 MeV/u U-238 ions.

Andrew Hutton
Previous two weeks (June 24 - July 5)
- In the last two weeks, the isotope program has had successes and failures. We
attempted to bring CW beam to the existing 1G dump. We achieved bringing pulsed tune
beam into the 1G line, but not to the end. A series of hardware problems prevented
full transmission, including badly mounted view screens that dropped into the beam,
etc, We will try again in a couple of weeks. Kevin has made progress on the boron
nitride crucible, almost ready for prime time. Jamal Zweit has received the remote
manipulators for the hot cell at VCU. Kevin and (hopefully) Keith Welch will go up to
VCU to make sure that the crucible (with a piece of iron in it to mimic the weight) can
be extracted from the pig and be opened by the remote manipulators. I am preparing the
quarterly report which will be fairly positive.
- Attended an ALCC videoconference on the organization that the US delegation wants to
propose for the ILC Laboratory implementation. Not sure I am fully convinced that the
ILC is going to happen, but I will continue to do my bit.
- I have spent some time with Sarah, we need to make sure that she gets to the meat of
what we would like her to produce.
- I understand from Stuart that there will be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the ODU
proposal to the Virginia Legislature (which includes the JEDI Proposal). I don’t have
a good feel as to whether it will be successful.
Next two weeks (July 8 - July 19)
- I will be in Japan for the SuperKEKB Review. When I return, I will be working on
completing the Isotope Quarterly Report, and helping Sarah, who should have got
sufficiently far advanced with GPT to start optimizing the WIFL gun for high bunch
charge.
- I will start editing the PreCDR100 when there is something for me to work on.
