HI All,
<div class="">Here is the latest regarding the next LCLS-II:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><font color="#ff40ff" class="">Kevin,<br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>The earliest the vCM would arrive at JLab is November and most likely December. At this point, the project has postponed the decision to test the vCM at JLab until they have a better understanding
of their FY22 funding. Preliminary feedback from the JLab stakeholders is this delay in vCM testing would need to be integrated with the winter SAD. <br class="">
<br class="">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span>I expect a decision from the project to test the vCM at JLab in October/November this year. <br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
John</font></div>

<div class="">The first production LCLS-II HE (high energy upgrade) module is scheduled to be tested in November 2022.</div>

<div class="">The vacuum work went well - all ion pumps are on - the fast valve needs to be opened yet. Waiting on radon to open hutch to remove spool piece with beryllium window. Once cleared by radon this will be taken to the TEDF vacuum lab (rad area) for
leak checking.</div>

<div class="">PSS re-certification is due - hope to address this next week. It would be nice if ops lock vault & take to power permit so I (or anyone) could take a crack at turning RF on to HV.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Shukui - is drive laser in shape to do PSS cert? Do you even have time to work on it?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">When CEBAF is up & running I would like to have the RF turned on & the gradients checked - if we were to do a warmup of the module Gary Chen would like an access to the insulating vacuum space to remove the flux gate magnetometers.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any other comments?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
