• Maria asked Alexander D. to allocate two active dosimeters permanently for ISOLDE visitor groups. The visitor’s guides have to activate them by entering their own ID number plus a generic code written on the machine sitting at the bottom of the stairs in the Jura side of the hall. Remind: on the use of the new active dosimeter, Alexander D. will give a presentation on Tuesday 16.04.2013 at the end of the Technical Meeting.

• Summer Students selection was completed. 11 out of the 12 ISOLDE physics-related projects got a student. Please refer to the table below for more information. We expect to have a Finnish student who will also join a project at ISOLDE.
• Empting of bldg. 507, bldg. 115 and bldg. 601 should be completed already by the end of May. Alexander D. has already started checking for radioactive contaminations;
• Please note that the passwords for accounts  “isouser” and “isoop” have changed;

The meeting was followed by the seminar entitled “Hyperfine techniques studies of surfaces and interfaces using isolated ad-atom probes” by Abel Fenta, PhD student from Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal; http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=244024;
