SUBJECT: Near-term Hall B Schedule
DATE: 6-March-1998
We are presently running the first period of the e1 run. After completing the
1.6 and 2.4 GeV settings, e1 switched to a beam energy of 4 GeV last Friday
(February 27, 1998). Due to a combination of circumstances (accelerator
availability and data acquisition speed lower than expected) it has become clear
that the goal of the 4 GeV section of the e1 run to obtain publishable data will
not be reached within the present time constraints. Therefore, I have sent a
memo to the Nuclear Physics Experiment Scheduling Committee yesterday requesting
that the e1 run be extended till March 17, 1998 (8:00 a.m.). This request has
been granted. The maintenance day will remain, as originally scheduled, on March
10. The conversion of the Hall B setup to tagged photon running will start March
17; the start of the Hall B tagged photon commissioning is expected for March
26. The late start-up of the tagger commissioning will be partially compensated
for by using the facility development period that has been scheduled from March
28-31 for physics running (unless there is some extremely urgent accelerator
development necessary).
Arne Freyberger has put together a detailed schedule for the activities in Hall
B during the periods when the hall will be open. Please consult
