Accelerator Physics group meeting, Jan. 25, 2001

Present: Jie Wei, Sang ho Kim, Marc Doleans, Slava Danilov, 
Jeff Holmes, Eugene Tanke, Paul Chu, Dang O Jeon, John Galambos, 
Tom Shea

Jie discussed the project status and the upper management changes 
taking place.  Our group should continue focusing on the work at hand.
Last week he met with B. Siemann and J. Stovall. There is a need to
make our presentations with a better focus on the context with respect to
the global picture. The specific problem needs to be introduced before
delving into specifics. The presentations need to be understandable by 
others (e.g. engineers).

Members of our group doing linac calculations should work more closely 
with Jim Stovall. Eugene will help with pencil beam calculations, 
Dong O is working with Jim on DTL commisioning ideas and Marc / Sang ho
will keep in touch on ideas to check the applicability of parmila for
off axis cavity studies.

Tom Shea noted that input is needed from the diagnostic group on 
accelerator physics requirements, such as instrument accuracy. Also,
input from the engineering applications is needed.

For ASAC, Sasha will present a talk on the MEBT, emphasizing flexibility. 
The removal of the emittance measurement device was discussed. 

Eugene will study the pencil beam aperture studies of the DTL. Marc
and Sang ho will study the cavity misalignment sensitivity with Jim Stovall.

Also, several group members (Galambos, Jeon, Tanke and Aleksandrov) will
attend the commisioning workshop.
