RHIC Startup: The Check Off List was completed, and the entire ring was swept.  Sweeping took ~4 hours, which was surprisingly quick.  Work continues on the Blue MMPS and correctors.  The plan is to bring the Blue MMPS to injection energy by 7PM tonight, and then work on the full hysteresis by midnight.  Assuming this goes well, there will be an attempt at that point to capture beam in RHIC and circulate it to check for obstructions.
