Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to respond to this request by Patrick with a joint statement from RG-C. As you know, we just passed our jeopardy review, and RG-C may be back on the schedule for the remaining 40 PAC days in 2026-27. I personally would very much like to see
more than 10.7 GeV for that run - during the jeopardy review, I showed that at least for DIS this would recover the highest x-bin we originally proposed that presently has huge error bars because nearly no events fall inside that bin with the the usual cuts.
If we can go to 11 GeV, we would gain a factor 4-5 (2 times smaller error bar) in statistics; with 10.7 GeV, less than a factor of 2 in counts. If you have any similar conclusions for your favorite Physics channel, please try to send an argument my way; alternatively,
if you don’t care, please let me know also.</div>

Earlier this year, DOE has performed an Operations Review which was concluded with a list of comments and recommendations. One particular recommendation is to... "Develop a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>beam energy requirement</b> document for
the approved experiments in the experimental halls, complete with physics justifications. This document must be distinctly separate from issues pertaining to reliability." </div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Physics division will compile, for each experiment still to run,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>(a) Proposed Energies, (b) Minimum Acceptable Maximum Energy if 12 GeV was proposed, (c) Science Impact of difference from 12 GeV, and (d) any potential
mitigation such as run longer.</b></div>

<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
The focus of this recommendation is a review/justification for a 12-GeV CEBAF beam (equiv. to 11 GeV delivered to Hall B) as compared to a beam with some 100s MeV less energy. </div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">

</div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Can you please give me input to the requested table entries (a) to (d)? Feel free to justify running at 11 GeV for Hall B with some extra narrative if the table is not sufficient. I believe, we can give common numbers for experiments in run groups for which
the science impact and the potential mitigation is similar. However, I don't think that we can combine all experiments from a run group.</div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Let me remind you, the scheduled beam energy for the next run is 1060 MeV per linac, equiv. to 10.70 GeV in Hall B. Plans are in place to increase this to 1090 MeV, equiv. to 11 GeV in Hall B for the FY26, but not at all cost. </div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
Physics division is not moving quickly on this, so a reasonable target to have all information compiled is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b>August 20, 2024</b>.</div>
