sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

[Kin Yip <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

Hi,

1. Our 2nd/final welding (for the Vacuum Jacket) was done yesterday afternoon (after a successful leak check with help from the C-AD vacuum group).   I believe that
we're waiting for the vacuum level to come down to do the official pressure test/leak check with M. Gaffney (if everybody is available).

2. I've put 3 photos that Roberto sent me on Sunday (Dec. 20) here in the following folder (the top 3) when they were preparing for the field joint:

3. I've placed Ray Ceruti's heat shield photo :

4. I've added a few entries to the Dec. calender (which I have done from time to time so that I can later check when certain important things have been done,
without trying to search for my emails or picking my brain):
