On March 22, 2006, the APEX team conducted critical store and injection processes, focusing on 2/3 resonance corrections and sextupole polarity checks. Initial results indicated a loss sensitivity at BBQ locations and confirmed technical issues with the horizontal AC dipole, affecting performance. A detailed examination of beam parameters revealed a significant vertical beta* discrepancy between IP8 and IP6. The APEX schedule planned follow-up sessions for March 28-29, 2006, with discussions on maintenance and studies related to intensity and polarization.
