5. Transfer line test with beam in 2007 (Jan)
Low I then High I for both lines
Film badges needed afterwards
Must be avoided
Proposals
TI8
Delay tests
Low I in September
Sector test
High I Afterwards
TI2
Maintain dates
Reduce scope (only Low I)
Stop beam before end of line
Add shielding
More studies needed
