General Information

  • Expected Staffing:
    • Run Coordinator: Alexandre Deur
    • Online Shifts: 3 persons per shift, one with solenoid training.
    • Offline Shifts: at least two people looking at data written to tape.
  • Coordination Activities:
  • Activity Priority
    • High: Activity should be completed, contingencies in place for issues.
    • Medium: Desirable to complete the activity.
    • Low: Activity would be useful if time permits us to do it.
  • Deferred Activity
    • Installation of liquid hydrogen target.
    • Installation of diamond radiator in goniometer.
    • Running data at 1350A solenoid current.
