h2. Notes

Hall probes

* Time is negative

* Hall probe closest to end plate is "-67"

* Rogers: compare hall probe with field during the ramp

Transfer matrix and optical alignment

* Looking at straight tracks data and calculating transfer matrix, compare with theory

Step IV optics

* ACTION BROSS: revised SSD limits with previous quench limit and safety factor

* Bross: Need to add the fiducial cuts

* Pasternak: use emittance of 140/200*6

** Rogers: send an explanation?

* Tracker beampipe 200 mm should be 150 mm

* Hybrid mode: Bross - from hardware pov no problem; may require additional training

** Risk that we may get additional training

* Rogers raised issue on M2 operation

** Alan Bross: does not believe that running M2 increases the risks

** Jaroslaw Pasternak: concerns about risk to push emittance measurement to the end

** Jaroslaw Pasternak: can we get good enough transmission? Ao has run simulations that show we can

* John Cobb: we have not shown that we have a solution

** There is no plot that we can stand behind at the 100 % level

** Scott has demonstrated that we increase the phase space density

** Rogers: we need to do the full reconstruction and analysis chain for an optimised run

** Scott: and we should do the full analysis that shows particles didn't scatter out of the aperture to produce amplitude increase (or whatever)

** Bross: we will need to have a crisp answer to the discussion at the review

* Bross: further comments for Ao are welcome (by email)
