Agenda:

1- New "5 MeV" Dipole update media:new_5Mev_dipole_Oct25.pdf media:new_5Mev_dipole_Oct25.doc

2- Bubble Chamber progress at Argonne

3- Discuss the Bubble Chamber dead time: rates and systematic error. How long does it take to acquire one event?

4- Now we have an Accelerator Operations Logbook, BUBBLELOG: [1]

5- Under Accelerator Task List, ATLis, there is now Project: Bubble Chamber to assign tasks to.

6- There will be an Accelerator Seminar on Thursday December 5, 2013:

 - Title: Measurement of 16O(γ,α)12C with a bubble chamber and a bremsstrahlung beam at Jefferson Lab Injector
 - Abstract: media:Abstract_Acc_Seminar.pdf media:Abstract_Acc_Seminar.docx

Notes from this meeting:

• New Dipole Magnet:

 - We are going with Model 3 in Jay's design: with 14.6 cm wide, 10 cm long poles
 - For about $10K one can buy a Hall probe system with claimed accuracy 0.01% and temperature coefficient 10 ppm/C
 - For a 12.5 cm long magnet, the beam scrapes the beamline
 - Do we have the steel on-site?
 - Working with Shaun to complete magnet design and finalize dimensions
 - This new magnet will work fine up to 16 MeV/c (the maximum energy of the new upgraded Injector)
