FYI I have attached the notes + a table from Phil Pile outlining the present
run plan allowing for
25 RHIC cryo weeks. Note also the summary of the coordination meeting as of
yesterday

*** From Phil Pile, CA-D

> Follow-up to the below notes...
>
> RHIC cryo work begins with a full nitrogen cool down of the RHIC magnets
on
> 14 Oct. Any schedule changes should be decided before that date (our
target
> date is then the wednesday meeting before this --- 13 Oct) - by request, I
> have attached the week-by-week schedule I presented at the meeting..

> A short note on some of the discussion in today's meeting:
>
> (1) All systems are still on track for a 8 Nov cool-down start.
>
> (2) On the issue of the appropriate time lag between the end of a given
RHIC
> run and the RHIC Program Committee meeting charged with giving advice on
> beams for the next run...The consensus was the program committee meeting
> should not be held sooner than about 2 months after the close-out meeting
> for the previous run. The close-out meeting generally occurs about a month
> after the end of a run, so for example, if RUN5 ends on 30 April then the
> program committee meeting to decide the type and order of ions for the
next
> run should optimally be scheduled in August. This gives the experiments
> enough time to formally decide on their respective beam requests.
>
> (3) There was a brief discussion of when data analysis of RUN4 would come
to
> an end. The experiments agreed that the bulk of the analysis should be
> completed by the time of the next Quark Matter conference (next Summer)
with
> some targeted analysis completed much sooner.
>
> (4) There was discussion about a further delay to the start of RUN5. The
> logic is a further delay may allow enough time for Congress to enact the
> FY2005 budget so that planning for RUN5 can properly take into account
> available funds. It was recognized that a decision on this should be made
> about 2 weeks prior to the 8 Nov cool-down date in order to minimize
> disruption of work activities. This will continue to be a topic of
> discussion at the next few Wednesday Meetings.
