I enclose for your information the message from phil Pile who now makes it
official that the RHIC startup is delayed by
1 month with cryo cooldown starting on Nov 1. and subsequently beam+detector
commisioning strating on or about Dec 15 2002

Subject: C-A Experiment Schedule Update - FY2003
> I have placed an updated FY2003-2004 schedule on the web,
> http://server.c-ad.bnl.gov/esfd/ then scroll down to "Yearly Operating"
> from the "Schedules" tab on the left frame.
>
> The schedule reflects RHIC cryo start up on 1 November, 1 one month slip
> from the previous schedule. This change is needed to ensure work on the
> Booster in support of the NASA radiobiology facility (BAF) will be
completed
> well before RHIC startup.
>
> The present scenario goes as follows:
>
> 1) October - work on Booster for NASA complete, test Booster for RHIC
> operations and beam extraction for BAF.
> 2) November - Begin RHIC cryo operation (1 Nov), complete 200 hour AGS
NASA
> Radiobiology run (target start date is 7 Nov), setup accelerators for RHIC
> injection (ions to be determined)
> 3) December - ~2 weeks RHIC set up without colliding beams, begin ~3 week
> set up/luminosity ramp up with colliding beams
> 4) January - If Congress restores AGS HEP funding begin either E962 or
E949
> concurrent with RHIC operations
> 5) Later - switch to a different ion species in RHIC.
> 6) April - begin commissioning of BAF, concurrent with RHIC and AGS HEP
> operations.
> 7) mid-May - RHIC operations end, RHIC cryo warm up to liquid nitrogen
> temperature (first time!), RHIC shutdown begins
> 8) July - 100 hour dedicated initial BAF run
