Dear all,

We wanted to share with you an update that we just received from Travis regarding the short in the magnet:

"The short was found, it was in an elbow at one end of the DX magnet, a metal protrusion. There will be a discussion this afternoon of how to proceed with the repair; also work is planned for this weekend to close up the beamline bellows and get welders to start closing up cans and reconnecting RUSH line, heat shields and cryostats."

We will continue to keep you updated as we learn more.

Best,

-Megan, Jin, Rosi and Ron
