Hello all,
<div class="ContentPasted1"> I got news from Doug and accelerator at the 1:30 meeting about the start up date for beam. </div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">The start of the accelerator 2K cooldown is unclear, since it is taking longer than originally
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">expected to get the cryo OSP’s reviewed. </div>
<div class="ContentPasted1"> At this time, it is unclear when the 2K cool down will start as it requires
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">a number of approvals and complex/risky tasks are being reviewed very carefully.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">Maybe in 2 weeks. And once 2K cool down starts, it is two more weeks before the machine
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">gets to 2K and then approximately one month to get beam to physics.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">Thus, we are now looking at something close to a two-month delay</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">which puts beam start for all halls some time in Sept.</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted1">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">So we will keep an eye on these 2K milestones.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">In terms of shift schedule, once the 2K is achieved and we are about one month</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">out we will have a better idea of the beam start date. </div>
<div class="ContentPasted1"><br>
</div>
<div><br class="ContentPasted1">
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">The schedule will be shifted to accommodate for this shift in the beginning</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">so beam will run to sometime in May 2024.</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1"><br>
</div>
<div class="ContentPasted1">Cheers,</div>
