[Bonuslist] Fwd: [Cuga] Extension to the Experimental program- a message from Rolf Ent and Camille Ginsburg for the Nuclear Physics Experiment Scheduling Committee

[Sebastian Kuhn]

Dear BONuSites,

you probably have seen this - we basically lost 2 weeks due to startup difficulties and thunderstorms, so these have been restored and we are still on track to collect the “missing statistics” from the Spring run. Of course, we will have to fill shifts, RC slots and RTPC expert slots until September 21 (2 extra weeks) - PLEASE VOLUNTEER (add your names to https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1msHlnkpqnHTAgsMAMcI97RNbK919ljRSs9hNiTKnjY0/edit?ts=5f1eece0#gid=0 )
Even though all RC slots appear filled, most of the remaining ones are assigned to Mohammad, who I’m sure would be very grateful for others to take over!

We do NOT have a regular BONuS meeting at 10 today (nor any future Thursdays during the run, unless specially scheduled). Our daily RC meetings are at 12 noon.

- Sebastian

The experimental program scheduled for Winter / Spring 2020 was paused six weeks early to due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The intent was to resume operations and complete the remaining physics weeks starting July 27. However, to achieve the same machine energy as before the pause, with tolerable beam trip rate, required more work on some cryo-modules, adding about a week. The subsequent machine setup and beam delivery to the halls was further slowed down by multiple storms, including hurricane Isaias.

Due to the above delays, the experimental run program has been extended by two weeks. The run will end September 21 instead of September 7. Due to the work and contracts planned for the long Scheduled Accelerator Down following this run period, no further extension of the run period should be expected.
