[Tritium] Tritium Collaboration meeting during A/C meeting?

[Zhihong Ye]

Hi Nadia,


I think how to run with 10 weeks is the most important thing we might 
want to discuss, and that is also I hope all for experiments can prepare 
now before we discuss. Based on the guidance, we plan based on the worse 
scenario, which means that each experiment has to optimize the physics 
run goal w/ 50% less beam time. The lab will also try to complete the 10 
week runs first and see if there is any extension.


So the homework before our discussion is how well we can do with 50% 
less beam time. How to optimize the experimental settings to gain the 
maximum run efficiency. How to spread these 10-weeks for commissioning, 
and different physics runs. And if there is any extension, how we can 
easily switch between different experiments so each experiment shares 
the reasonable additional time on top of this total 10-week running plan.


These will be not straightforward answers but we at least need to have 
our rough plans first before we discuss and even involve Thia or other 
people to the discussion.


Best Regards
