The special steering SEM to properly place the beam on the diamond targets is again required. Its whereabouts are unknown as of this date. The goniometer is to be installed at a location west of its historic location for most of the earlier experiments to gain an approximately 90 m lever arm to the end station. Dieter is looking into suitable diamond targets, 70-80 m m thick. Several promising leads exist.
Questions arouse about diamond target orientation.
This needs further study. Ted talked about the control system to operate the goniometer. Much of the hardware was either cannibalized over the years or is obsolete. He will spearhead an investigation of what is needed. We also talked about software issues, who might be able to help us.
