Notes from this meeting:

• In the simulation, the collimator inner radius is correct (8.0 mm).

• Bubble chamber simulation remaining tasks:

1. Complete geometry: add stainless steel cube and flanges
2. Add electron beam energy spread and beam size
3. Measure fraction of photons that are absorbed in the N₂O target as a function of E_γ

• Next Bubble Chamber beam test will measure ¹⁹F(γ,α)¹⁵N

• Old fluorine chamber has a height of 36 inches. Beamline height on the concrete platform is 27 inches. Beamline height before the platform is 42 inches.
