	* ~~Researching uses of IBA Lynx~~ and ~~Sphinx:~~		* Met with '''Alison Warry''' and '''Andrew Gosling''' at UCLH regarding daily QA:
	** Sphinx coupled to Lynx used for daily QA.		** Mainly interested in spot position, size and repeatability; range secondary.
	** ~~Lynx is scintillator screen~~; ~~Sphinx is series of RW3 absorbers used for~~ range ~~checks~~.		** Using Sun Nuclear DQA3: cheap (£8k) but functionality poor.
	* ~~Looking into different uses of scintillators and scintillating fibres~~.		** Several questions still outstanding: will arrange to meet again.
	* ~~Investigating radio chromic films~~.		* Will add links to ELog for IBA devices and QA papers.
	* Will ~~contact '''Alison Warry''' with questions arising from previous talk~~.

	* ~~Handbook on photodiodes provided by~~ Hamamatsu~~: using it for minimum and maximum power calculations~~.		* Reply received from Hamamatsu.
	* ~~Will contact Hamamatsu to confirm~~ calculations.		* Some calculations not clear: '''SJ''' will chase up.
