Notes from this meeting:

• Bubble Chamber:

1. Ready to fill with mercury and N₂O - planned for next week
2. Need to do thermal modeling of temperature gradient across chamber
3. Argonne will build short stand for chamber to fit JLab beamline

• Fluorine Chamber C₄F₁₀ is still of interest:

1. Test Bremsstrahlung beam and Penfold-leiss unfolding
2. Measure sensitivity to gammas (of interest to dark matter search, now at 10^-10)
3. Measure ¹⁹F(γ,α)¹⁵N cross section at low energy (E_electron = 4 - 7 MeV)

• JLab Schedule:

1. At 2K from June 20^th to September 30^th
2. Now we have a clear path forward for obtaining pressure vessel approval
