sPHENIX is a new detector at RHIC.

Dear All, 
 
A quick update, we just finished closing successfully the two INTT detector halves around the aluminum beam pipe at the sPHENIX IR. 
The aluminum guides between the INTT detector and the CFC tube inside TPC were installed and making INTT ready to be rolled inside the TPC and around the beryllium beam.
The beam pipe sensor probes for monitoring, the plots were very stable, and no indication of any type of vibration. 

Tasks for tomorrow morning (after the daily meeting at 8:30 am):

1- installed beam support 

2- roll in the INTT inside the TPC and around the beryllium beam pipe. 

Many people contributed, and it is very hard to mention all the names.
Many thanks to the sPHENIX, and CAD technicians and engineers; the way you handled the INTT detector installation showed resilience, experience, knowledge, and critical thinking. 

Special thanks to Dan Cacace, Robert Pisani, Nick Seberg, and James LaBounty, they did not give up, and you were amazing.

Important note: As Frank Toldo requested, the north side was posted with yellow tape. People should not go to the north-side scaffolding.  

Thank you all.
 
Sincerely, 
Rachid for the INTT group
