  3. NEWS -- III The ISIS shut down has been delayed NEW « FIRST BEAM DATE » FOR MICE: 1 October 2007 (this is infortunate for outside university groups for whom summer is^’special’) 15 March: The IMC has agreed yesterday to start the long shutdown in December 2006.  This means that there will be an extra cycle 2006/5 this year, starting on 14 November and ending on 18 December 2006. During the long shutdown, the new EPB to the second target station will be installed and the problems with some of the magnets in EPB1 will be addressed.  This work and more will go on from January 2007 to August 2007.  During September 2007 there will be commissioning of part of the EPB2 and TS1 with beam.  The first user cycle 2007/1 is expected to start on 1 October 2007. Every effort should be made to carry out all proposals submitted & accepted in the current call before the end of 2006, so that we go with a clean slate into the long shutdown.  There will be no Call for Proposals in October 2006.  The proposal round in April 2007 with FAPs in June 2007 will determine the programme from October 2007 onwards.  The user community will be informed of this in the current call for proposals.

  4. Thus we have *450* days to data taking However: this increases the pressure on us to do everyting swiftly once we have the beam: less time for phase I and II! Preparations (DAQ, reconstruction, Software, procedures and detectors) hace to be prepared longer in advance…
