Run 10 Start-up Status

Schedule Oct. 1 begin FEC/Controls Turn-on Oct. 6 Begin Cryo Scrubbing Nov. 2 Begin 45 K waves Nov. 16Booster/AGS Setup Nov. 16 – 20 RHIC Dry Run Dec K waves – Started Dec. 4 Beam in RHIC (blue) Dec. 14Store devel., physics setup (conditions:  *=60 cm, intensity = 1e9, # of bunches > 50) Dec. 22 Projected Physics Start

What’s been done? injection is setup in both rings –Kickers timed in –Injection orbit corrected –Tunes are set to correct values –Frequency is set (Blue with hysteresis, Yellow without) LLRF commissioning has started –RF Capture is done in both rings –Acceleration and Transition phase jumped in blue. Instrumentation check-out has started –BBQ is working for tune feedback in Blue –BPM’s are timed in and orbits are working –Orbit feedback in blue is working and being commissioned. P.S. check-out is progressing very well –Yellow check-out is in progress

Hold Ups Blue MMPS development –New IBS lattice = some quad polarity changes –Quench detection system configuration Reversed quadrupole in Yellow (Sat.) AGS MMPS Motor Generator Oil Leak. So we are behind by a day or so, but working to stay on track.

This Week (12/14-12/21) Setup Ramp in Blue and Yellow –Get beam to store Setup Yellow Injection and Ramp Commission new LLRF –Acceleration in Yellow –Cogging and rebucketing Development now with Exp. Magnets on. Working 24 hour shifts Over the weekend – working at Store
