> A few people have come to ask ... I guess I should just send an email
today rather than

start-up by 1
> month.  So, the helium (4.5K) cool-down will start on Nov. 7/8 (Nov. 7 is
a Sunday).
> It's said that it's left to the coming Scheduling Physicist to decide
which date

the Cryo

> During the meeting, there's not much argument whether we should delay or
not.
> Only the definition of one month was discussed a bit --- whether it's
30days
> or 4 weeks or ~3 weeks.
