Dear Collaborator, In preparation of this weeks coordination Phil Pile has send out the following (as always tentative schedule) for this years run. As I have told you there have been delays in the startup due to an accident , and the westinghouse->Siemens motor generator switchover. The nominal plan is given below. It looks as if from ~ 12/16 we will be able to have setups, and physics should start on 12/30. I would though not be surprised if this could start some days earlier. I have been receiving schedules from many people and hope soon to be able to pu together an approximate list of people available for the Cu run. It seems for now the period from 12/20 through early january is quite well covered. regards Flemming .Overall Plan (based on presidential budget) Ø18 Nov 04 - Cryo on Ø19 May 04 - RHIC Run 4 ends Ø26 May 04 - RHIC cryo switched to LN2 (27 weeks total) .Details - as run/planned (some details based on '04 run and are subject to change) Ø18 Nov 04 - Cool down begins Ø25 Nov 04 - Blue Ring Cold Ø2 Dec 04 - Yellow Cold Ø3 Dec 04 - "2 week" RHIC setup with beam begins Ø16 Dec 04 - "2 week" ramp-up with colliding beams begins .Late evening stores for experiments .2, 8 hr accesses for experiments if needed (based on last year's plan) Ø30 Dec 04 - 8 week physics with 100 GeV/n x 100 GeV/n Cu-Cu begins .12 Jan 05 - First experiment access, bi-weekly thereafter (all up to 8 hrs and only if needed) .5 Jan 05 - First beam experiment, weekly thereafter (up to 12 hrs/week) Ø24 Feb 05 - Nominal end of 8 week Cu-Cu run Ø24 Feb 05 - begin 3 week pp setup Ø17 Mar 05 - Begin 9 week pp Physics run Ø19 May 05 - end 9 week pp run, RHIC Run 5 ends Ø26 May 04 - Cryo switch to LN2 complete, 27 weeks of RHIC cryo operation ends ---------------------------------------------------------------- Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Brookhaven National Laboratory e-mail: videbaek@bnl.gov phone: 631-344-4106 _______________________________________________ Brahms-l mailing list Brahms-l@lists.bnl.gov http://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/brahms-lReceived on Tue Nov 16 19:22:14 2004
