Hi,</div>

The Schedule Accelerator Maintenance (SAM) met this afternoon and I have got unofficial update that</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
the accelerator tentative SAM schedule has been updated to show Physics beam on the 28th of February </div>

BUT they are looking at ways to save time. Thus, the estimate of the soonest beam could be ready for </div>

physics is the 14th of February. So I have told the staff, engineers and technicians to prepare for Feb 14<sup>th</sup> start.</div>

At this point we still do not have an official run schedule, but for now we assume that the draft schedule</div>

I think that it makes the most sense to keep the schedule as it was.</div>

So the shift schedule can be updated to reflect the possible Feb 14<sup>th</sup> start. Hopefully we will get another update </div>
