We will meet in TL 2221 on Wednesday August 5 at 3:30 pm EST.
For those calling in we'll use the Blue Jeans [1] audio conference system.

Agenda:
1- Bubble Chamber progress at JLab
2- Laser Shuttering
- Would like to use a mechanical shutter (100% extinction); John will build a control box that uses TLL signal on BNC cable (TTL=high=close?, TLL=low=open?)
- LST400: on-hand, delay to open (10ms) + full open (20ms) and delay to close (10ms) + full close (20ms); operates to 3Hz and large aperture 8mm (recommend <6mm beam)
- LST202: need to purchase, delay to open (1ms) + full open (0.3ms) and delay to close (1.2ms) + full close (0.3ms); operates to 150Hz and small aperture 2.3mm (recommend <1mm beam)
- Alternatively use an electro-optic shutter (>1000:1 extinction, but fast rise/fall times <5ns)
- repurposes cell in optical path, so more invasive and more work installing HV driver, control circuit)
