Daytime access will resume on Tuesday, > and expected to continue until ~ June 1. By that time both rings should > be cold, and power supply installation work complete. The Siemens > load-test has yet to be scheduled. This will occur sometime during the > month of June, but for now it is decided to continue with RHIC beam > setup using the Westinghouse motor generator. When the Siemens test is > scheduled, there will be a few days advance notice (necessary for GE > people to be present), and there will be ~3 days of access into RHIC > while the tests are carried out. > > Fulvia Pilat discussed plans for weekly, scheduled machine development > periods once the machine has reached a stable operating mode. The plan > is to have machine development periods for 12 hours on Wednesdays. In > this vein, it is agreed that when stable conditions are reached, the > experiments would like to schedule weekly maintenance access periods of > ~1 shift. It was pointed out that the relative timing of these two > activities should be given some thought (i.e. it may not be desirable to > have a machine development period immediately before or after a > maintenance shutdown). > > Reports from RCF and experiments indicate no changes from the previously > discussed start-up schedule. >
