Discussion </h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1.2">
<ul>
<li>Parity requirements achieved for Happex-III and PVDIS
</li>
<li>energy spread achieved for HKS, HKS completed with a large
fraction
of the expected data. </li>
<li>Bonus is fully commissioned
</li>
</ul>
<p>These accomplishments were difficult and have strained the staff.
What can we do better? Things I'd like to discuss include:
</p>
<ul>
<li id="sec-1.2.1">B-team <br>
<ul>
<li>more involvement from Physics?
</li>
<li>less Wednesday meetings, more daily 8:15 meetings
</li>
<li>B-team content
</li>
<li>Goals for FY10?
– 12 GeV commissioning plan
– PREX parity quality
– QWeak parity quality
– Information transfer/cross training
– TWISS/ε measurement and matching routine
– raytrace data collection and analysis routine for beam physicists </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="sec-1.2.2">1:30 scheduling meetings <br>
<ul>
<li>Low attendance
</li>
<li>Little information transfer
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li id="sec-1.2.3">Beam Studies <br>
<ul>
<li>C50 commissioning has resulted in almost no beam studies
being
performed. </li>
<li>No more C50 commissioning during physics operation
</li>
<li>Double Wien commissioning during physics operation (Spring10)
looks
to be just as disruptive.
– working with Whitney to see if Homeland security run can be move
to July2010.

<a href="http://opsweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/elog/3-0/entry/1494245">Match
calculated on Friday</a> was loaded Saturday Owls. No harm done.
Stability improved after <a
href="http://opsweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/elog/3-0/entry/1494280">match
loaded</a>. 20% decrease in Compton counts
and FFB working now. Not claiming that these effects were because of
match, but we can claim that the effects occurred in spite of the
match.
<p>Michele has sent BTeam an email with twiss plots and elog
entries

After the plots were fixed, the beam size is under control (less than
200 μ m) in both the

Changes </h3>

<p>The two wien modification is scheduled for the Winter2010 down. Part
of the change includes the following decisions:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Remove the 60Hz suppression correctors. These correctors were no
longer connected to a source/controller.
</li>
<li>Use the 500 keV harp controls to drive the <b>new</b> harp at
the 2nd
Wien girder. The 500 keV harp has not provided the information we
wanted at the 500 keV region due to unknown magnetic elements
between the solenoid and harp.
