Agenda (https://indico.bnl.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1806)

Cool-down status

Low field test scheduling

Piyush will leave on Mar. 12 and come back to work at BNL on Mar. 22

Quench Analysis ?

AOB

They’ll do this a few times and hopefully the H2O will be got rid of. Not sure whether they’ll try to cool down again tonight or

when ….
