</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">The schedule is fully shifted by two months as compared to the original schedule and thus has the beamtime needed to do the upcoming planned experimental program.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt">The shift was caused a </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">number of work-related pauses to ensure the safety of our staff and users. While the planned work took a bit longer, it was done successfully and in accordance with
the new safety rules. At this time, accelerator operations is getting ready to restore the beam to the planned 1047 MeV/linac. This energy works very well for delivering high polarization to multiple halls which is a requirement for the upcoming run.</span></p>

halls. And now we are all l</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt">ooking forward to getting back to physics production!</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"></span></p>
