Agenda

  1. Agree on a set of milestones to be achieved by our working group leading up to the CD3 review.
  2. Summary of my discussions with YERPHI colleague Hrachya Hakopian regarding participation in Gluex and a visit to the USA.
  3. Review engineering manpower needed within the group in order to achieve the CD3 designs in a timely fashion.
  4. Yang's status report on analysis of CHESS data
  5. Answer a query from Ken Finkelstein regarding our readiness to present results from our CHESS measurements at the CHESS user's meeting in June.
  6. Discuss a suggestion from Ken Finkelstein regarding loan of a diamond to a CHESS colleague who is developing high-resolution crystal topography.
  7. Discuss a strategy for buying some diamonds from Element Six and putting together some specifications for a thinning job.
  8. Agree on a set of specifications for the tagger hodoscopes for Elton's spec document.
  9. Develop a set of specifications for the beamline instrumentation, ditto.
  10. Review my (upcoming) electron beam requirements document prior to our meeting with Jlab 12 GeV project staff around the end of the month.

CHESS measurements

A couple of questions from Ken Finkelstein:

Hi Richard,
I wondered what's new with data taken during the last visit to CHESS, and if there has been enough accomplished to consider having you speak about it at our CHESS user meeting June 10-11, 2008. Please let me know what's happening and if you might be able to participate.
Thank you and Best Regards for a healthy New Year,

Ken

Just this week, I received a second question

Richard,
My colleague Alexander Kazimirov ( ayk7@cornell.edu ) has been developing a method that can produce depth sensitive topographic information. The first publication is attached. He thought it would be interesting to examine one of your thin diamonds as part of a study he will be doing at ESRF in a few weeks. Would you be interested in lending him a sample? Because the work involves method exploration and development, the sample could be broken or otherwise not too valuable for your needs, but it still should be a good crystal. The thickness could be anywhere from, say 10 to 50 or even 100 microns.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience Thanks, Ken
