• Gilliss' talk - based on LaserNetUS talk- adjusted with Alan
• Status of Eric's talk: not started
  • 20+5 presentation is enough for at most 15 slides. Three topics max?
  • Anything in the CDR- baseline. - including non-flagship ideas 
    • Collisionless shockwaves will also be covered at end of Chris's but no problem of repeating
      • Some connection to the IFE FI electron concept.
  • Presenting plasma phase space
    • Don't forget that strong fields are another axis of "extreme"
  • Plasma optics? 
  • Expanding on these or even experiments that would need upgrades (flag them)
  • Can go into experimental systems / diagnostics
  • Damage cascades? 
  • Magnetized plasmas; fundamental atomic physics - Zeeman splitting (issue: not published)
    • Issue: risk of intellectual property theft
    • Note PhD thesis of Matthiew
    • Plasmas affecting exoplanets?
  • Tomography - very interesting, with caveats about execution.

• Use this opportunity to get user input - without guide they have no idea. 1 hour could be insufficient

1. Modes of beam delivery for kJ laser: pulse formats, focusing, directions, target designs
   1. Is there an advantage to splitting the beam – would people request this if we don't have the 5 kJ?
      1. This is one where the project wouldn't have to change- but we note that it's a possibility out of the box. 
2. Same for short pulse laser: pulse formats, defocus
3. Laser science? Plans, proposals. Example: on target intensity, few shot intensity contrast diagnostics, flying foci, plasma optics – which of these need X-rays and why?
4. Diagnostic priorities
5. Pre-MEC diagnostic development opportunities? Example: getting signal from background, EMP robustness, inserter loading

• Early experiments, with few diagnostics?
• TCO experiments? — note: possibly not initially delivered. 
• Review submitted slides
• 5 kJ and 2x 1 PW
• Pulsed power discussion – is it sufficient to have something SLIM mounted?

Timeframe: April, May?

Avoid: S&I review of MEC / Director's review of MEC-U – somewhere around March

In-person

→ UAP volunteers for organization?
