ISA meeting

Week 51, December 21, 1999.


Status of the ring: In the remaining days before Christmas, we will run O3- for the electron cooler group. This group will continue to run until week 2/00, where the ring will be closed for the changeover to electrons. Electron Run 1/00 will start in week 4/00 (Jan 24).

The EBIS: As reported last week, the EBIS has been modified to improve the focusing. This week, we will try to see if things have improved as expected.

The SGM-3 gratings are almost ready for delivery. We will have them within a few weeks!

The computer group advises users to shut down their computers over the holidays. Not just to save power, but also to avoid Y2K problems.

A merry Christmas and a happy and successful New Year to all of you from all of us !
