RHIC Running: There was colliding Au beam at 9 GeV/n in both PHENIX and STAR last night. STAR received their goal of 5000 good events. PHENIX was also satisfied with the beam delivered to them. By 10:30PM Todd was beginning to tune up 5 GeV/n Au beam. Au beam was brought to AGS Extraction. At 02:30 there was a Quench Link Interlock in b4-dh0 which resisted attempts by CAS to fix it. Finally a card was replaced to allow Blue to ramp without b4-dh0 (which unfortunately shares a power supply with the DX magnet required for Yellow Beam) around 06:00AM. By 10:00AM Au beam at 5 GeV/n had been sent half way around the Yellow ring. There was no morning meeting this morning to allow Todd to continue Low Energy development.
