The week from Aug. 3rd to 10th 2022 was the second week of extension for CPP/NPP. (It was initially scheduled to be the start of PrimEx-II). It was a productive week, with no special task but steady production on Pb and "empty" targets. It was quite a good week with overall, 102.9h of Available Beam in Use (ABU) out of the scheduled 160h (64% running efficiency). We had no significant down time on our side beside the usual overhead of radiator changes and DAQ start/stop. On the accelerator side the chief reasons the beam was not delivered were a pass change for Hall C (5h) , RF-recovery (18h), thunderstorms (5h) and the usual beam trips.

At the end of the week, we had gathered 99% of the data (simply computed from the integrated ABU and assuming 50% efficiency) for 89% of the time scheduled for the CPP/NPP run spent.
