2. Agenda Summary Update – Current Activities/Updates – Startup Schedule Highlights – Upcoming Talks, Reports, Meetings Updates/Talks: Elliott McCrory - Linac BPM Upgrades Dave Johnson - Progress with Linac Notcher Amplifiers

3. Update General Info – Booster SS: Up and operating SS Spares still in production (amps and PAs?) All Solid State Modulator work completed (spares tested – RF12 and RF19 not installed) – Booster Absorber – commissioned – Salah is starting to test 3 rd Kicker – Booster Aperture Scans and magnet moves – Finished another move yesterday/alignment finished this morning Scans later today – issue with larger beam adds complication – Booster RF cavity rework – RF1 work in progress Tuners removed and being worked on RF15 cooling off in Booster access area Spare cavity has progressed – installing inner hardware to main cavity – Booster Ferrites – Dennis completed measurements on recent ferrites Document with physical Measurements, Low Power Testing, High Power Testing - put in DB Results – not good! New ferrites did not meet specs Phone call to vendor yesterday – plan to try again – different bake temp – lower density – RFQ – Running well – waiting on trim magnet/building source B – HLRF – looking into how to write a new PO that gets the work started – Linac Modulator –? – Linac Notch – Talk today by D Johnson – Cogging – Waiting for Kiyomi time – Booster Shielding – Two rounds of scans – meeting today to go over data…. – MI Startup: Word is May – no change from last time – June 1st Startup comments (Fernanda, Todd, Mary) Studies forthcoming?

4. Density measurements from recent testing of latest ferrites

5. RFQ Injector Assembling B source Tuning on RFQ and Buncher phase/Amplitude control LINAC Linac tuning – to match Injector BOOSTER Finishing up access to move magnets at L22 Four magnets moved and straight aligned Repair several RF stations Testing 3 rd Notcher Transverse Pickup Installed and tested Insatll RF3 removed RF15

6. Upcoming Talks Future Meetings: Feb/Mar To be Scheduled: Dave Augustine - Vacuum Installations Finished and in Planning Jean-Paul Carneiro - TraceWin 3D Simulations of the Fermilab Linac Bill Pellico - Loss Test Scans for Shielding Assessment John Reid - Solid State Installation - Final Report Pat Sheahan - Tuner Bias Supplies Leonid Vorobiev - ORBIT Simulations on Booster Injection and Acceleration

7. Upcoming Reports (upcoming) – Update of PIP Design Report – Yearly update work PIP talks/Special Meetings – Shielding (PIP people at 13:00 hours) Budget Issues – – Working to address cost of spares – Additional Overhead Cost – impact still being looked at - Please use the E-Log to put general work in progress updates/photos – weekly would be nice – if progress is being made in task
