1) DAQ

We have 192 channels to DAQ working. Mirco will test the silicon detectors with an alpha source in the next 2 weeks. 

2) Vacuum

In the moment we reach 6E-6. There are still 2 tiny leaks. There will be an extra turbo for the upstream beam line which should improve the vacuum for ISOLDE purposes. 
We need to check how fast we can pump down as might need to open the chamber between tuning and beam time (detectors need to be protected from tune beam).

3) Alignment

Alignment of the sample positions can be done here (Mirco/Peter). Claudia will contact Karl about a survey team for alignment at ISOLDE. Then we can talk to them directly.

4) Shipping

We aim to ship the setup to CERN by the end of March. We will try to go over to CERN for initial setup middle of April (to be confirmed with Karl)

5) Equipment needed from CERN

Claudia will ask Karl about availability of a CAMAC crate and 2 NIM bins. 

6) Safety

Peter will order safety boots and hard hats. 
Those who do not have ISOLDE access need to attend the ISOLDE radiation protection course. 

7) Availability for Preparations

Tom not here: 25 March - 3 April, 25 April - middle June
Daid not here: until middle June ?

8) Samples CH2, CD2

Paul has new batch and should send alpha spectra soon.
