RHIC Running: APEX running went well yesterday. Work on the 60cm b* was the focus. There was additional work to study the Polarimeter. measuring the polarization profile.. Recovery from the APEX time went quickly. There was a 6 bunch store brought up first to check the ramp, and this store was used to switch the JET from the Blue ring to the Yellow. The machine went back to 100cm b* for production running through the night during which we put up two good stores.
At the end of the morning store we will take half an hour to study polarization profile and emittance growth in both Blue and Yellow.
Today we will try to finish the 60cm b* development. We will also spend some time offline developing the ramp polarization measurement.
JET requires that the Blue beam be moved to a new location where backgrounds should be better. The measurement takes about 2 hours. This will be done with the next good store.
