RHIC Startup: During the APEX work yesterday, there was a reduced beta* lattice developed, but not completely evaluated.  During machine development today, we will try to finish the evaluation, and try using the reduced beta* lattice in Yellow.  If this works well, we will try to reduce beta* in Blue as well.

PHENIX wants to coordinate with Angelika on a vernier scan to understand the backgrounds.

Earlier this week, Todd did orbit corrections for the quads.  Do these corrections scale with the new beta* lattice?  This needs to be tried.  Mei will do orbit and dispersion measurements at store.

Beta* is measured horizontally in IP8 and vertically in IP6.  The BPMs were not available for the other measurements,  This needs to be completed today.

Back up for physics running at 4:00PM.

Friday morning, STAR would like to do a 2 hour study with 6x6 bunch store.
