sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

We have begun to re-occupy the 1008 complex, and we're going to have to 
clear away some of the detritus left over from the decommissioning of 
PHENIX to make room to work and room to store incoming equipment.  The 
spaces that need cleanup are the Control Room, the Rack Room, the 
adjacent lab space, and the trailer.  Ed and I discussed this with some 
of the permanent residents (Frank Toldo, Mike Rau, and others), and we 
thought we would arrange for a few days of cleanup at the beginning of 
September.  We would get a dumpster, and have the BNL property people 
available to retire equipment licitly.

Of course, we'll try to keep as much generically useful equipment as 
possible, things like NIM modules, test equipment, power supplies, some 
cables, fiber optic cables, and components, but we would discard things 
like old PHENIX electronics, spare parts for old PHENIX detectors, 
one-of-a-kind cables and modules, old computers, and personal effects 
left behind.  We'll probably keep a small quantity of PHENIX equipment 
for largely sentimental reasons, but there really isn't room to keep too 
much.

If there are things that you want to make sure we preserve, we know most 
people cannot come on-site, so please send us email describing equipment 
or components you wish to preserve.  If you have pictures, that would 
help.  If you have access to the lab, please attach labels to anything 
you want  to preserve with your name and date.

Nominally, we'd like to do this starting the week after Labor Day 
(September 6-10)
