Dear Collaborator, The FY06 budget process in Congress has moved forward, and with a bad outcome for Nuclear Physics and RHIC. The complete details have yet to propagate to the Laboratory, but since these bad news will certainly spread. I will keep you informed as accurately as possible. As said below this implies there will be no RHIC running this fiscal year (run 6), and most likely that the possibility to obtain the 62.4 GeV reference data is gone. regretably Flemming attached the information from the associate Lab director "Today the Conference Committee on the E&W bill reached agreement. The results for NP are very bad. We are back to the President's '06 budget request. This will wipe out Run 6 and cost many BNL people their jobs. There will be more details on this Wednesday. We may be able to salvage several weeks of operations to tack onto next year's run. Sam Aronson " -------------------------------------------- Flemming Videbaek Physics Department Bldg 510-D Brrokhaven National Laboratory Upton, NY11973 phone: 631-344-4106 fax: 631-344-1334 e-mail: videbaek @ bnl.gov _______________________________________________ Brahms-l mailing list Brahms-l@lists.bnl.gov http://lists.bnl.gov/mailman/listinfo/brahms-lReceived on Wed Nov 9 11:03:31 2005
