ItemNotes
2nd PetawattMM: Write up where we are on 2nd Petawatt.  Adding would require construction and heavy reconfiguration.  Pre-concept, and we cannot execute design right now.  Science team needs to message 2nd Petawatt in general.
RR-SP pointing stability
Radiation Source Term
Spatial Chirp

Can we run with and without spatial chirp?  Why high cost of moving grating?  Gilliss - can we quantify what's happening at the beam at target (spatiotemporal)?  Need a description at near focus.  Reduce fluence.  What safety factor are they planning for?  Impact of spatial chirp + wavefront error?  Desire for being able to dial out spatial chirp.  Gilliss - we should write down Bill's thoughts and ask LLNL to perform analysis.  Need technical note.  MM: We need to be careful about asking LLNL to perform tasks that are out of scope.  Gilliss - need details of compressor design.  What software do we need to model properly?  Gilliss - Nick side note - ELI MP is very stable (Thalus).   Summary:

  • Ask Bill White about concerns
  • LLNL or SLAC to model
Global Requirements WorkshopMay 8, 9 or 10.  Purpose is to confirm requirements and revisit particularly challenging requirements.  MM: Any other reviewers?  Gilliss: Recommends reviewer from Omega.  Hans.  Gilliss:  One of top priorities (before parental leave) to get GRD into Jama.
