=== NURI paper ===
Talked to Dima about the NURI magnetometer network paper. His comments:
 
** magnetometer has to be portable
 
 
=== Mx magnetometer sensitivity ===
Talked to Thad about a possibility to have a synchronously pumped scalar Mx magnetometer in the fMCG project. The advantages would be:
* not having to cancel the field
 
* Download the Mathematica notebook - [[File:ScalarMagnetometerParaffinCells.zip]]
 
=== Coated cells sources ===
 
Asked around to find who could make some paraffin-coated cells for us. Dima's sources:
 
* Misha Balabas ($500-$700 per cell)
* Antonie Weis (sells 20x20mm cells that they no longer use)
* Wenhao's group (can make cells or fill cells)
* Precision Glass Blowing (had poor T1)
 
Asked Vitaliy Shutov from Frequency Standards Lab in FIAN, Troitsk. They have a setup that produces the cells in small (~10) batches. The cells are baked and sealed under vacuum and don't have stems. Cells can be filled with any gas mixture, but they don't make coating. The cells come in two sizes
* 8x15mm
* 5x3.5mm
 
Velichansky's group also has a stash of paraffin-coated 20x20mm cells.
