RHIC Running: At the end of APEX, STAR requested an access to allow them to cycle the power on the Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS) trigger system and Muon Telescope. A Blue Quad tripped on the first ramp after the access, but recovery from APEX was relatively quick.
Most of the day was spent on beam development. Blue injection kicker timing was adjusted, as was the collimation on the ramp. A study of the collision component of Yellow Beam Decay was made. These studies, along with a series of operator errors, resulted in a 1.5 hour beam development period stretching into over eleven hours of unscheduled down time (from the experiment's point of view). Booster C3 inflector and A3 RF station had problems, and AGS RF K station tripped off and would not turn back on.
