Present: Alexei, Jim, Flemming, Yuri, Gene, and myself

== Hardware

— used access to tune sensor for air flow

— cathode dropped yesterday during the storm

— may not be due to the flow sensor itself?

— want to count beam dumps before and after kicker repair

— RHIC has experienced more uncontrolled beam loss since repair

— maybe due to other changes made by control after repair? timing changes?

— now tuning drift velocity

== Electronics

— still the usual losses and repairs of RDOs and FEEs ((usual 15% dead on average)

— one TPX sector masked out

== Software

— increased stats by factor 10 in transverse diffusion work 

— updating hit errors for DAQ5000 work

— yesterday noticed drift velocity drop in lasers

— was confirmed by additional laser runs

— Alexei still tuning DV as mentioned above

== AOB

— Results of PAC suggest a possibility that we may run another 12 weeks

— open question about any systems that might not survive an additional 12 weeks

— answer from group seems to be no (we have enough methane until ~20th of Dec.)

Best Regards,

  Richard
