Minutes of E159/E160/E161 Meeting Dec 11, 2000 Phone conference with Steve Rock, Ray Arnold, Peter Bosted, Don Crabb, and Keith Griffioen. 1) Steve Rock to Steve St. Lorant and urged him to get in touch with Don Crabb. 2) Keith got a quote from Bicron. Looking BC408 and BC404. If by big sheets, would be about 48,000. If we order cut pieces, cost goes up to $75,000, for 1000 pieces already cut and polished. For E160/E161. 3) Don asked Oxford to look into adding dipole field to magnet. Don talked to JPL about 180 GHz tubes. Cost about $95,000 with 12 month delivery. They are making some for another customer. Plan is two buy two (one from UVA and one from SLAC). Talked to Balzers about pumps: looking into getting dry pumps (no oil). Waiting for quotes. 4) Collaboration meeting. Most people prefer Feb. 10. Should be an in-person meeting. 5) Work is continuing of mailing list. 6) Some concern about energy shortage in CA. May affect E158 run. 7) Everyone will think of good names for the E159/E160/E161 program for next week.
