Time Meeting: Agenda • Safety • Budget News • Schedule: Past, Present and Future • RHIC and Experiments Reports • Machine and Systems Reports • AOB
Safety • Take 5 for Safety…………..Ed Lessard
Schedule: Future • Budget News…….. Derek Lowenstein
Schedule: Past Vacuum problems: L05 J17 I17 sprung a leak this week. Likely due to Gold beam striking the flange weld. Changing (again) the way we do business with Gold in the AGS and Booster.
Schedule: Future • APEX is scheduled for tonight Tuesday 18 Dec 2007, beginning at 9:00PM finishing by 8:00AM tomorrow. • Maintenance Day follows APEX, with Injectors OFF at 7:00AM and beam restored to RHIC beginning at 4:00PM. • C-AD Holiday Open House tomorrowfrom 9:00-10:30. • Next maintenance day set for 2 Jan 2008, immediately preceded by an APEX shift. • Continue to push to improve delivered beam • Decreasing Deuteron background in PHENIX. • Decreasing ALL backgrounds in STAR.
