sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Pasquale, Wesley, and Mike,

I have attached some slides from Paul Kovach about the work they've done 
in the Superconducting Magnet Division about shipping the BaBar solenoid 
to BNL which we plan to review this Wednesday, July 30.  Because you 
three have so much experience and history with the solenoid, I would 
like your input on whether the magnet is ready to ship here, and whether 
there are any additional precautions we should take before we set a ship 
date.  I would ask you to plan to summarize your findings, comments, and 
recommendations either collectively or individually in email(s) to me 
afterward so we could consider whether we should take any additional 
precautions.

BNL is now paying for BlueJeans videoconferencing, which you should be 
able to connect to without any special hardware or software (although 
you will need a decent network connection).  If there are problems with 
the connection, call or message me on skype (johnstonyb) and we'll move 
to that.  The meeting is

11am EDT
8am PDT
5pm CEST

and I have the start a little bit earlier in case of connection 
problems; I think the meeting will be about an hour or perhaps a little 
more.
