 +Optics
 +  * Packing the open dragone.  The focal plane can be placed near the bus at 2-3 degree penalty in alpha.
 +  * Ray trace of possible sidelobes
 +     * cross dragone has clipping sidelobe as discussed previously
 +     * open dragone has no similar sidelobe.  Is straightforward to baffle.
 +  * comparison of DLFOV
 +     * when scaled by F*lambda open Dragone gives ~60% of the focal plane diameter of the crossed
 +     * however crossed will require larger pixels (large edge taper) to control sidelobes, while open can have small pixels (low edge taper) since sidelobes are controlled by baffling.
 +     * **UMN** to further investigate DLFOV trade-off between the systems
 +  * Goal of settling on system in 3-4 weeks.  **Amy** to look into cost difference for larger physical mirrors in the open dragone case.
 +  * Physical optics analysis:
 +     * Brad can run GRASP once a system is designed.
 +     * For EPIC  GRASP simulations were convolved with galaxy map to get polarization leakage.
 +        * **Brad** will continue investigating details of what was done.
 +        * Julian can also run full time domain simulations if/when needed.
 +     * JPL has a GRASP license.  **Amy** checking for person to run analysis.
 +
 +Scan
 +  * Julian points to work done for LiteBIRD({{::litebird_toast_20170123.pdf|LiteBIRD Scan Internal Memo}}) and CORE (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.04224.pdf). 
 +     * LiteBIRD looked at full focal plane and assessed uniformity of coverage, angle of attack of each pixel, beam distortion from spin and precession speeds, ability to calibrate on dipole.
 +       * saw broad minimum in coverage uniformity for alpha = 25-65 deg.
 +       * narrower range where dipole signal is strong for all scans.
 +       * condition is good with and without HWP (for full focal plane)
 +     * CORE looked at single detector maps to asses ability to control systematics.
 +     * further constraints on CMBP scans need our own simulation.  The machinery for this exists.
 +  * Decision to take alpha + beta = 95 deg as the standard for now, no reason for 100 deg.
 +  
 +Focal Plane
 +  * delayed to next week due to time.
 +  * one key question is the need to go to 800 GHz.  
 +    * needs input from Galactic science group
 +    * **Amy** will start a matrix of science outputs to help communicate between science goals and design trade-offs.
