  • To Do:
    • Understand detector operation from LK.
    • Contact Marina Fuentes Sainz and Vassilios Albanis to explore commercialisation.
    • Contact Derek Thomas to arrange access to labs.

LK:

  • In email contact with Lennart Volz at HIT regarding upcoming experimental visit:
    • Helium and protons definitely available; possibly Oxygen and Carbon but will wait and see.
    • Need to run DAQ for PMT setup: will check whether we need digitiser or scope.
    • Will check with Lenny regarding mounting case to table.
    • Need to work out how to fit PMT in one of our cases.
  • To Do:
    • Prepare for HIT Helium tests.
