<pre>news from the 9am AD ops meeting: 
- things were touch and go over the weekend with the deluge 
- separator spark(s) take out about 2/3 of the luminosity for this store 
- we're stacking and stashing so I'd assume we stack to something like 350+ and shoot; there are 160e10 presently</pre>

<pre>Store 6419 was dropped at 2100h. Store 6421 was colliding by 0015h with initial luminosity 274e30. The stack was lost at ~0430h when an accumulator magnet tripped off. This was repaired and stacking resumed around 0700h. There are about 150e10 pbars now between the stack and the stash.</pre>

- shoot (1800-1900h if all goes well) 
- news from yesterday, Salah thanked us for the refreshments on Friday :)</pre>

<pre>The last attempt at a shot ended during scraping last night around 2130h. Shot setup just began. There are 250e10 pbars although 50 of them are still in the stack. I'm not sure which amount they are planning to shoot from.</pre>

<pre>They shot from 200e10 giving us an initial luminosity of 190e30 at the start (0950h).</pre>


<!-- Date: Wed Sep 17 10:42:54 2008 -->
<pre>News from the AD ops meeting: 
- the quench was caused when one of the scraping collimators drove into the beam because the feedback loop to the loss monitors was broken (bad control card) 
- 3-4 hours of linac downtime to replace a PA after NTF treatment completes</pre>

<pre>The downtime started around 1100h. I see no signs of completion.</pre>


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 18 07:40:55 2008 -->
<pre>Store 6524 died a natural death at 0530h. Anti-protons are being loaded now.</pre>

<pre>That was 6425 that just died; 6426 began 15 min. ago with initial luminosity 272e30. We're taking data.</pre>


<!-- Date: Thu Sep 18 10:09:36 2008 -->
<pre>There was no particular news at the 9am AD ops meeting. Things were pretty quiet around the complex.</pre>

<pre>Note to self to get Vaia or Mary and Bill or Donatella to fix the luminosity:  ~0025h-0050h.</pre>

<pre>EOS for 6426 was delayed until 0400h. The pbar target wouldn't rotate ~2330-0230h. Store 6427 started 0620h with initial luminosity 290e30.</pre>

<pre>report from the AD ops meeting: 
- the pbar lens was probably still rotating during the problem last night, one couldn't tell however (speculation is that one could have stacked?) 
- losses down at B0, up at D0 
- D0 requests 30 min. opportunistic access 
- my guess is we'll shot from a bit larger stashes than we've been for a while (380+), note that we've been in that range before, just not for a while</pre>
