I enclose the following message from Phil Pile on the RHIC operations,
I does also contain useful links for up to date information.

RHIC

operations

> SEB Secedule:
>
> I regret that we have insufficient funds to begin SEB operations in July.
> The revised plan is to begin on 1 Aug and run until AGS polarized proton
> studies begin, presently set for mid-September. If polarized commissioning
> is delayed we will continue to run SEB. The plans for FY 2002 are
uncertain
> at this time.
>
> We will do our best to maximize the physics output for the dollars we get
in
> FY 2002. Keep in mind that the FY 2002 budget is far from a done deal.
> Hopefully, Congress will get behind basic research and will add a
> significant increment to the Presidential Budget for C-AD accelerator
> operations.
>
> RHIC Update:
>
> On a bright note, the RHIC Yellow ring dipole short was found and fixed.
The
> entire Yellow ring should be once again cryostable sometime Monday.
> Meanwhile, work with beam in the Blue ring will continue this weekend. If
> things go well from here on, we should establish collisions in RHIC by
late
> this month or early July.
