Subject: Preparing for Beam Delivery

Colleagues,
Accelerator preparations for FY18 beam operations is on pace for beam 
delivery to the Halls as per the published scheduled.    In order to 
support the start "Physics" on Monday Dec 4th:

 1. 7:45 am meetings will resume on Tuesday Nov. 28th.  Please inform
    the Run Coordinators to plan attend these meetings. Prior to beam
    delivery to Halls the focus at these meetings will be on the CEBAF
    recovery, but we also will want to hear about the Hall's status.
 2. The Halls are strongly encouraged to plan for "Stand-by" shifts on
    Friday Dec 1 through Dec. 4.  This staffing will be in support of
    initial beam check-out and perhaps early Physics.
     1. I expect that the Halls will be locked up over the weekend so
        that beam to the hall dumps can be achieved.  How much staffing
        is required to support this will be part of the discussion
        leading up the weekend.
 3. Andrew Hutton will be the Program Deputy during this period, please
    help Andrew make this the best startup in the 12 GeV era.

The goal is beam to the Halls Monday Dec. 4th'ish with ABU > 0 for all 
four halls on that day.

In addition there is a strong possibility of beam operations up to the 
morning of Thursday Dec. 21st (beyond the scheduled turn-off date off 
Mon. Dec. 18th).  Again this will be discussed during Dec. operations, 
but if the Halls have shift personnel to support beam delivery on these 
days, it will be an option to be considered.

It must be said, that I'm quite please to be writing this email compared 
to the typical Accelerator operations emails over the past year.

Arne
