  1. Time Meeting RHIC FY13 PP RUN

  2. RHIC Start Up Status: • We have take 12x12 bunches up the new e-lens Ramps and had Collisions!. • Re-bucketing, tune, coupling and orbit feedback and forward • Doing Store ramp w/o rotators • Hopefully overnight Collisions coming soon. • Now need to push intensity, fix blue bunch length growth. • So Far we are still pretty much on Schedule, however we have had to put out many fires

  3. Challenges : • Current glitches of the main dipole ramp • STAR beam pipe aperture/position • Issues with phase shifter PS not ramping due to faulty database • Abort Kicker pre-fires • Q7 magnet PS issue • Issues decoupling feedback and feedforward from including phase shifter PS. At store we like them coupled to maintain phase, on ramp decoupled to help break lattice symmetry for good polarization.

  4. Future Issues: • Improve Ramp Transmission efficiency control bunch length. • Get bunch-by-bunch dampers on-line • Finnish Col. Work • Implement 2/3 tune swing on ramp. • Get good Polarization Transmission efficiency measurements for Ramp • Monitor Injection lifetime and Store lifetime • Control and measure Chromaticity on Ramp

  5. Most Importantly Watch out for Discord! He will Sabotage our Elements of Harmony. We need magical friendship to battle him.
