Summary
The meeting covered updates on a new nylon mesh and silicon sealant for the HRPPD window, with options to be sent to BNL, and discussed findings from thermal testing of mirrors, leading to proposed adjustments in testing protocols. Concerns about epoxy bonding properties were raised, prompting further investigation into alternative materials, while the significance of transition temperature and its impact on material deformation was emphasized. Additionally, lab space for the pfRICH vessel and TDR progress updates were provided, highlighting the need for ongoing dialogue regarding data rates and project deadlines.
