8. 8# Shutdown Aug 21 through Dec. 06-  PEP II Upgrade: Major upgrade to the machine to take the peak luminosity from 12x10 33 /cm 2 /s  20 x10 33 /cm 2 /s (list from John Seeman)  BaBar:  Completing the upgrade of the Instrumented Flux Return (IFR)- replace RPC’s with LST’s in the remaining 4 sectors (2 sectors were done in 2002). Expect to fully recover (the slowly deteriorating) muon and K L identification capabilities of the detector.  Preparing for the expected higher data rate (and possibly higher background). Aims to stay at its usual very high efficiency of data collection (~96% historical average). Now studying the trigger and data flow system for possible bottlenecks and preparing for solutions. Onward to the 1/ab data phase 2006-2008 Now in the third week of the shutdown and on schedule.

30. 30# Summary comments  There is an enormous amount of physics still to come from Flavor physics with BaBar in its “1/ab” phase. Two of the expected major outcomes are:  Precision knowledge of the charge weak sector of the SM & CKM parameters,  With the possibility of revealing deviation from the SM  Measurements of CP violation and decay properties in penguin dominated decay modes, with the possibility of revealing New Physics effects. Hints are already present in the current data. [Given the large number of observables involved, a pattern may emerge showing evidence for New Physics. If we continue to see no deviation at these precisions- the results will likely serve as major constraints on the flavor structure of New Physics- to be seen at LHC.]  PEP II and BaBar are in preparation for the “1/ab” phase. Both upgrade efforts are proceeding well and on schedule.
