Dear collaborator,

The PAC recommendation and RHIC run schedule was discussed at todays
coordination meeting. The result is summarized below i bullet form. The new
schedule should be avilable soon on the CA-D home page. The schedule means
that we have to start schedule shifts from about 12/12 assuming that the
first week or so will be dedicated to trigger tuneup, with getting
sufficient calibration and min bias runs in the second of the 2 tune-up
weeks.

best regards
    Flemming


.The PAC report is in its final drafting. The main outcome was summarized at
today coordination meeting.
.Highest priority 8-10 week of polarized pp at 200 GeV followed by
development of 400-500 spin development (higher energy resonances). A one
day physics run with un-polarized at the top energy.
.Cu-Cu delivered 7 nb-1 at 200 GeV (~8 weeks in geometric model). 62.4 GeV
with 2 weeks, and one day at injection.


.A delay of one month is agreed upon
-Ramp up with overnights for experiments will start on 12/6.
-Physics running on 12/20
.In case on budgets for 25 weeks running only Cu/pp distribution will be
7/8, and the Cu run ending at end on Jan. Hopefully the budget situation is
clarified at end of Jan (reason for delay).
.There are some possibilities to have funding restored for full 31 weeks
which will give 10/10 physics.
