RHIC Startup:

Rebucketing problems with both rings.  Beam is "dancing" on the ramps.  Plan to turn on the Landau cavities to help with this.
The is coupling between the Blue and Yellow beams at injection, such that there are beam losses in Blue when injecting into Yellow. 
Tried six ramps with 37,56, 68, and 87 bunches.
