---

Notes from this meeting:

• The new chiller has arrived at Argonne

• The Bubble Chamber safety reviews will be completed soon (Pressure System completed, waiting on Mercury Review) and a copy will be sent to JLab by the end of March to start the process here.

• Our Budget Request: media:Bubble_FinalCost.pdf media:Bubble_FinalCost.pptx

  - Fast Vale and Dipole Magnet are approved as part of RSR/SRC.
  - Other expenses (Super Harps, Dumps, ...) were included in the ARD/SRC request but not yet approved.

• Fast Valve was ordered. The Valve will be installed upstream of DP cans. The gauge will be installed at the end of Bubble Chamber beamline, in the radiator chamber.

• Test Beamline:

  - Ask for thermal analysis of the flange radiator to determine the operational beam current.
  - Design collimator using GEANT4. Part of the collimator could be positioned inside the pressure vessel. At some point,
    Argonne ordered Cu material that could be available for us.

• Test Schedule:

  - Start the Experiment Readiness Review process with a meeting with Arne and Rolf.
