Enclosed is the most recent update for progress at RHIC. Note though
ramping to 70, no attempts will be made to
have stable beams at this energy. With this schedule at hand I will make
shiftschedules starting end of next week,
and ww will have shift training seesions during the week.
regards
Flemming

> At our meeting this past Wednesday, the machine group announced the
> likelihood that they would try for collisions soon, at gamma = 70. This
> is to remind everyone of our agreement on Wednesday that there will be
> no attempt to provide "useful" collisions for experiments at this
> energy. The idea is to establish collisions, spend as little time as
> necessary to do hardware checks, and then move quickly to finish
> training the DX magnets up to full energy. The DX magnets need another
> day or two of training before attempts can be made to ramp to full
> energy (gamma = 107). IR tuning and commissioning of the 200 MHz RF
> will then take place at full energy. At this time (Friday) the plan is
> to try for collisions at gamma=70 beginning tonight. According to
> Thomas Roser, experiments should not expect useful collisions (at gamma
> = 107, i.e. 100 GeV) until mid- to late next week.
>
> Reminder: we will not meet next Wednesday (July 4). There will of
> course be the Time Meeting on Tuesday, and the daily morning meetings.
> The next RHIC Planning meeting will be on Wednesday July 11.
