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

[Lorelei Carlson]

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.
