Agenda - 04/16

--04/16 Video Conference Agenda

1) MEBT Commissioning Update

All MEBT diagnostics are functioning. The accelerator is running at 1.25 Hz with typical beam parameters of 30 microsec, and 12-15 mA (maximum of 32 mA). The plan is to measure the emittance at the MEBT exit without MEBT bunching. The wire scanner measurements agree with Trace3D calculations to within 5% and the radiation is too low to measure. The plan is to get the cavities going this week, perform the emittance measurement, and to do tuning runs next week.

2) Emittance Slit Material Study
