sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

[EdwardOBrien <eobrien AT bnl.gov>]

        Hi Kin,
         Is a simple solution for all of us to take Rad Worker 1?
        I had it for years when I worked on the AGS floor
        but since we moved to RHIC, CAD User Training was all that
        is required. It wouldn't be so difficult to take RW-1 again.
        Thanks.
