Photos from APS DAMOP 2022

Some notes from Sanha:

1. Murtaza gave a great talk @ APS DAMOP 2022, and the conference was a huge success for the group overall! See attached link for some photos. Got to meet with quite a few other atom interferometry researchers and learn from them.
   1. Got to connect with students & post-docs from Jason Hogan & Mark Kasevich groups. Some interest by Kasevich group people to implement the light-field imaging dome in their set-up. Brief discussion followed, sounded like a simpler set-up than Jason's lab (separate view port area with no MOT or lasers going through).
   2. Met Tejas, but couldn't meet other people from Tim Kovachy group :(
   3. Several very strong German groups, especially some theory collaboration working on very detailed simulation development. Nothing differentiable, however. Mostly focusing on physics details.
2. Paper submission status
   1. @All: Comments from Ian & Dan. Have these been addressed?
   2. @Ariel: What's the situation on JINST keywords? Can we add keywords like "imaging device" or "applied optics" under the "Detectors apparatus and methods for particle, astroparticle, nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics and for synchrotron-radiation research" primary category?
