Run 2 Upgrade Meeting August 13, 2003
P. Bhat

• Agenda
• July Status Update (Ken/Dean)
• Reviews update (Pushpa)
• List and discuss pre-shutdown studies and
  shutdown activities (All)
• All upgrade-related studies to be done before
  September shutdown
• All shutdown activities
• readiness
• Resources dedicated? shared?
• Overlaps, conflicts with other work

• Discussion To do items by Oct 8 DOE
  mini-review (8 weeks left!)
• (1) Shutdown plan
• Be doing
• Recycler vacuum
• Sergei not present Seems to be no issues
• Tev stands, align, vacuum, helix
• Work to proceed as planned. Vladimir presented a
  table of planned tasks (see attached)
• AP2 align and movable quad stands
• Keith expressed concern over availability of
  surveyors for AP2 work
• MI dampers
• No anticipated problems
• various e-cool at Recycler
• No one to report
• Plan for startup and commissioning
• Paul Derwent expressed concern over study time
  for proton stacking studies that they would like
  to perform at the startup. This means change in
  the polarity of the magnets in the AP2 line,
  Debuncher, D/A line, and the Accumulator.  These
  studies of proton stacking, which is higher flux
  than pbar stacking, and forward 8 GeV protons
  through AP2 and Debuncher, will be combined. 
  The high flux enables comparison of measurements
  to simulations and calculations of cooling system
  behavior.

in shutdown (7), (8) Oct 1 technical review of
Tevatron BPM system (10) Oct 1 define
