Agenda:

1- New "5 MeV" Dipole update media:new_5Mev_dipole_Nov20.pdf

2- The accelerator will fund (as part of running the machine (RSR) in FY14):

 - New dipole magnet and a Hall probe system: GMW DTM-151 [1].  The Group3 DTM-151 is the highest performance Hall effect
teslameter commercially available with digital linearity and temperature correction to provide 0.01% accuracy, resolution to 2ppm,
and a temperature stability of 10ppm/°C.
 - New fast valve and its electronics media:275218EC_Manual.pdf media:752_1VFE.pdf. Total closing time <10 ms.

3- Latest drawing of Bubble Chamber beamline: media:Bubble_Chamber_BeamLine_Drawing_top.pdf media:Bubble_Chamber_BeamLine_Drawing_side.pdf (units of the drawing are inches) and side-view elevation:

4- Bubble Chamber progress at Argonne

5- Draft of the Accelerator Seminar talk (on Thursday January 9, 2014): media:Acc_Seminar.pdf media:Acc_Seminar.pptx. More work is still needed on Theory, Previous Experiments, and Bubble Chamber.

Notes from this meeting:

• New Dipole Magnet:

- Mapping will be done with the Hall Probe installed in the magnet
- A spare set of coils will be also made

• Beamline:

- 
- We will use an excess dipole magnet as a Sweep Magnet (we have this magnet in our cabinet in the Injector Service Building).
We will increase the size of the gap to fit the larger beam pipe expected after the radiator. For this we will use excess steel from the piece we have on-hand.
