1- Bubble Chamber progress at Argonne

2- Beam Heating in Cu Radiator media:Beam_Heating_in_Cu_Radiator.pptx media:Beam_Heating_in_Cu_Radiator.pdf

3- Beamline Layout

4- Bubble Chamber cost estimate: procurement and labor

5- Background from ¹⁷O(γ,n)¹⁶O and subsequent neutron elastic scattering with ¹⁶O and ¹⁴N nuclei

6- Background from ¹³C(γ,n)¹²C (in case we decide to use CO₂ instead of N₂O)

Notes from this meeting:

• Beamline Layout:

- Need a Faraday Cup on the Bubble Chamber beamline, after the second BPM and before the radiator
- On the main beamline, FC2 is a 1 kW dump (200 uA and 5 MeV)
- PEPPo took positron data with Quads OFF and electron data with Quads ON
- What is the trip limit of the Fast Valve and how fast is it?
- The Bubble Chamber experiment needs electron beam with KINETIC ENERGY = 8.5 MeV
- At Jefferson Lab, an egress has a minimum clearance of 36 inches
- We can use two Super Harps instead of the two Quads. Unfortunately, the accelerator does not have Super Harps, only Hall C
- Electron Dump: isolated to measure beam current, 2 kW
- The photon Cu collimator has a hole of 1.0 cm diameter

• Cost:

- Procurement overhead is 25% and for labor it is 1.50
