RHIC Startup:
Beam intensity has been dropping throughout the weekend, for both Bleu and Yellow. Need to investigate loss in intensity.
Plan to work on injecting more bunches. Currently running 68x68 but there are store files for 78, 87, 93, 105 bunches so it should not be a problem to test them out.
Work on vernier scans in both STAR and PHENIX will be done. The old operating point was very close to the peak for both.
PHENIX vertexing efficiency has been low; ~37% instead of the expected 50%.
STAR sees the interaction diamond with an RMS of ~70cm.
