        The 630 GeV run ended today at noon, after a second week
    of steady stack & store operations.  The approximate D0 luminosity tally
    for the low energy run is:

        626 nb^-1 delivered,    462 nb^-1 "to tape"

        Fermilab will be shut down for the Christmas/NewYear's holiday from
    Friday 12/23 until Monday 1/1.  Operations will resume with 1800 GeV 
    startup on Tuesday 1/2, with colliding beams as early as Friday EVE 1/5.

        Happy Holidays !

         9am Meeting Summary, M.Tartaglia
         ================================
         * Store 5812 is STILL IN (now 36 hours, L=.02E30)
         * PBAR stack was lost due to A:SEX12 over-Temp; 
            a second magnet was found to be even hotter
            spent the day flushing the hot magnets
           Work done on a shunt has since caused more problems with pbar
           orbits; small stacks have been dumped twice, and expect another
           hour of access to repair this problem
         * Booster is down two RF stations; checking out spare today
         * Linac has problems with 55-deg chilled water!
           CUB new chiller tripped, and won't be back on until tomorrow
           OLD chiller wouldn't come on! working on this today
           (the New chiller was supposed to just "add more capacity", so
            I don't understand why the Old chiller was off)
         * Tev and MR seem to be working reasonably well; Tev could use some
           time this store to tune Shottke plates to see pbar tune signals
         * CDF is allocating low Lum to Min Bias and Diffractive studies

         *** PLAN is to fix pbar (est 1 hour) then stack to 30 mA (est 5 hr)
             then shot setup.

DEC 12
09:35    The STACK was lost at 9am.  The MR is off while a pbar access is
         made.  There is no estimate for when stacking will resume.  The
         next shot setup will be at 40mamps... estimate next shot at 03:00!
DEC 12
22:20    MCR called:  a pbar accumulator power supply has failed, and it
         will take about 3 hours to fix.  They will then stack, and when
         40 mA is reached, they will go into shot setup.  The earliest 
         they think this will happen is 9:00 AM, Wednesday, Dec 13.

DEC 10
10:28    MCR calls.  They have a booster supply problem, so MR is off and
         they wouldn't be able to refill the Tev if they drop the store,
         so they will keep this store until the booster is fixed.  Probably
         several hours.

DEC  9
01:23    called MCR: "They think that the water leak has been found"
           -- will do machine turn-on, dry squeeze, and then shot setup
DEC  9
03:47    have been in "shot setup" for a long time without visible progress,
         -- called MCR to find out what is going on;
         they have power supply problems, and next store is at least two
         hours away.
DEC  9
05:36    called MCR about news: "power supply is fixed, shot setup shortly";
          next store at least one hour away
DEC  9
06:06    Dean Schamberger on shift.  Shot setup continues.....
DEC  9
08:31    6 Proton bunches finally in....now all we neeed are p-bar's.
         Stack is at 80mAs.
DEC  9
08:40    Well now the stack is 71mA, but still no p-bars in the TeV.
DEC  9
09:34    9AM meeting:  P-bars no longer wish to circulate in the Main ring.
         Stack went from 80 to 53.5mA while trying...now expects are coming
         in.  Two potential causes are:  timing changes made yesterday
         to "improve" p-bar efficience and compensations added about 3AM
         to accomodate a MR supply whos interlock will not allow it to
         be turned on.  The "experts" will attempt to locate/fix the problem
         and (if the stack is big enough) we might have a store day shift.
         The TeV has been at 150GeV for "too long", So a TeV magnet ramp,
         and probably a dry squeeze will be done before a new shot is 
         started.  When more is known about the schedule will be updated.

    Status

DEC  9
12:37    Because the booster broke, the machine studies to understand p-bar
         trouble has turned into a store.  It is a 6x1 store with only 
         11e9 p-bars in bunch 1...therefore our luminosity is only 0.06e30.
         Since no trigger meisters could be found, I lowered a few level-1
         prescales to fill the level-1 and to host bandwidths.  FEB is 1.5%
         rate to host is 1.8MB/sec
DEC  9
14:33    MCR calls to sat that they will dump the store soon because they
         have fixed the booster. They will then go into shot setup.
DEC  9
15:07    MCR dumps the store. Store 5805 is gone.

DEC  9
22:53    called MCR for news -- there was some problem with control 
            electronics for a kicker magnet which is about to be fixed;
            they expect to go into shot setup (again!) in about 1/2 hour
                 from now

DEC  5
09:40    report of 0900 meeting.  No shot until late tonight.  Shot will
         be attempted as soon as the complex is ready independent of stack
         size.

         Main ring losses are still large.  Some field from the TEV magnets
         leaks out and influences the main ring.  Since the TEV is now at
         an intermediate energy, they may have problems reducing losses.  
         They expect that it will take all shift to setup 315 operations.

DAY/EVE/OWL shift summaries:
         - Tested new 630 GeV trigger configuration and prescale files
         - TRD preamp supply has fluctuating voltage/current...turned off
         - Perform calorimeter pedestal run
         - Run GLB-SPC cosmic run 94854
         - MR abort kicker problems...accelerator is down
         - D0 access to replace (above)TRD shaper power supply ( 20 minutes)
         - Accelerator access should be over at 00:30
            
           D0 is back online, toroids on.

DEC  4
09:41    report from accelerator meeting:
         * MR people are very pleased about having had rather high pbar 
             transfer efficiencies lately (~75%)
         * the pbar stack (of >200mA!) was lost at 08:51 due to controls
            power supply failure
         * studies to set up 315 running will take "a day or two",
             depending on how things go;
           best guess for first store at 315 on 315 GeV is tomorrow during
               the day.                         

  Day Shift Summary December 04, 1995                              
  ===================================                         

     * store 5792 ended at 08:00 as planned
     
     * Studies to set up for 315 on 315 GeV running planned for rest of the
         day and part of tomorrow

     * 200mA pbar stack was lost due to power-supply failure
           
     * muon toroid polarity was inverted

     * no data recorded during this shift, but several calibration runs done:
          calorimeter gains and muon calib. for three sectors

     * Data acquisition without high-speed link is still possible, as 
         revealed by a test performed by J&JG and DAQ shifters

NOV 28
10:36    Results from 0900 meeting.  P Bar transfers are getting better
         but there are still problems in the main ring

         CDF needs an access of at least 6 hours.  Best guess is day shift
         on Thursday

         CDF will run in their Roman Pots during the next store.  Likely
         time is later on this evening but probably well before the end of
         the next store

         goal is to keep the next store for 15 hours so that they can build
         a good P Bar stack

         Consensus appears to be that there is no transverse position motion
         but that the collision point has shifted by 5 cm (D0) and 10 cm
         (CDF).  These must be nearly identical so I conclude that the 
         position has moved between 5 and 10 cm.

NOV 22   R.Partridge
10:14    Report from 9AM meeting:  

         A breaker "arc'ed over" in a transformer that supplies the Linac
         chiller. There were some errors in early reporting of the incident.
         While there does appear to have been a racoon involved, he/she was
         most likely an innocent bystander outside the area where the breaker
         was. While the racoon appeared to be somewhat singed from the arc 
         over, and on the whole rather agitated about the entire incident, 
         he was able to walk away from the scene. The breaker in question 
         did not fare nearly as well. Only bits and pieces of it remain. 
         The spare has been sitting outdoors for many years and will require
         some effort to rebuild it. The latest estimate is 9:30 - 10:00, 
         but it may well take longer.

         The Tevatron plans to do a proton only store as soon as coalesced
         beam is available. The Linac and Booster will proceed with their 
         tune-up while the proton only store is in. Estimate is 2 hours for 
         proton only store.

         A 6x6 damper in the accelerator appears not to be working and is
         being investigated.

         CDF has 2 hours of maintenence work to do but were denied an access
         after it was pointed out that they had the whole owl shift where
         they could have done this work. Plans to insert the CDF roman pots 
         appear to be on hold since the accelerator doesn't have a "pot person"
         available due to the holiday.

         An effort will be made to avoid a shot setup tomorrow afternoon.

         9AM meetings are cancelled until Monday.

===============================================

* Tevatron successfully launched a second 36x36 store last night,
  again about 0.65E30. studies went well but ended in quench (reason unknown?)
  shot from 99.6 mA, took 63mA out of stack.

* pbar learned from the exercise, esp found a 40ns jitter on transfer signal
  finished the stack with 4hrs studies

* Transformer Feeder changeover was successfully completed
        the next change will be next week (Hornets Nest cleanout!)

* 6x6 operations commence!
        will resume stacking around noon today
        Tevatron changes sequencer, dry squeeze, parse squeeze,
        then SHOT SETUP estimated after 20:00 tonight

   ***  CDF would like to run in their Tokyo pots 20 minutes before end store
                (we said "YES, but do it carefully")

*** Run 1C Run coordinator is Alan Hahn,
        deputy is Peter Lucas (on call fri 1800 - sat 1800)

* most of the weekend was spent doing 36x1 store studies and stacking
  stack is at 91mA, with 5mA/hour max rate achieved so far;
  there have been two unexplained 3,5mA losses from the stack since Thurs.

* a 36x36 store was achieved on Saturday OWL, but ended after 1 hour
        (kicker pre-fire and quench)
  another 36x36 store will be attempted before 16:00 today

* SCHEDULE: pbar will go off at 0800 (prob last 4 hours stack studies)
            Power Transformer changeover will occur at 0900
            A study store will be kept in the machine during this change!
            Stacking will start and 6x6 to be established ASAP [prob Tues EVE]
            The NEXT ACCESS will either be opportunistic, or perhaps Friday

            NEXT WEEK there will be another Power Transformer change so that
            WASP NESTS can be cleaned out of the ducts!

NOV 18
12:15    Based upon our 36-bunch luminosity monitors, the accelerator
         successfully achieved a 36x36 store with luminosity in all

======================================================

* Following the power outage, startup continued through the owl shift with
  stacking, MR 2B & RF studies, and TEV p-only tuneup.
        o MR 2B efficiency not improved; MR is only 65% efficient,rising slowly
        o TEV quenched once, prob due to fast-loss from abort kicker prefire
        o pbar lost 3mA of 80mA stack; ** may want 3hours in tunnel Tuesday  **

** Substation Repair "things did not go well yesterday".  Switchback is being
   scheduled for Tuesday morning (after 8am), so we will start from "zero"

***  Plan to do 36x1 measurements followed by 36x36 is proceding, with
        expectation of 36x36 after 16:00 tonight.

* Alan Hahn will be the collider coordinator during 6x6 operations
---->   He showed a *tentative* long range schedule for collider operations
        that placed 613 GeV running before Christmas, and E811 running in
        mid-January.

NOV 16
10:42     16-NOV-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

* Yesterday's Power Outage was caused by a feeder failure beneath a main
  power transformer (#83), which also took out it's neighboring feeder.
        Will want to change back (& move/disrupt pbar to a separate feeder)
        May be a week; dry weather for hi-potting needed mid-repair
        This will be discussed at the next all experimenter meeting
** NO MENTION of any schedule delays (which wouldn't come until Monday anywho)

* TeV Cryo is expected to be recovered by 1600 today; expect 1 shift p-only
        tuneup, then 36x1 store, then 36x36 store after 08:00 tomorrow

* Beams and Stacking were established about 1800 (as was DZero readout)
        MR will work on improving 2B cycle intensity

* PBAR found Li Lens was too high by 1", due to module/body misalignment
  Stacking rate overnight reached 4mA/hour, then deteriorated due to
        debuncher problem;

==============================================================================

NOV 14
10:57     14-NOV-1995 9am & Planning Meeting Reports, M.Tartaglia
=================================================================

***>>> We are shutdown today (since 0400) for necessary accelerator repairs
       esp      new pbar lens installation & F49 Feeder will take all day
***>>> Accelerator operations will resume after approximately 2000 tonight
        TCLOCK changes will cause phase shift on RF-side (not CDF-side) !

* First 36x36 shot attempt failed because of Booster Sextapole P/S controller
        couldn't load protons, or tune up pbar transfer with reverse p's
        tried pbar-only injection, but pbar/MR mis-phased==> lost pbars in MR
        did get kicker timed in & pbar transfer data looks nominal
* Will start up again with 36x1 experiment repetition, then try 36x36 again
        36x1 measured tunes vs Helix amplitude; previous studies were somewhat
        hampered by low proton intensity, which can and may be offset by
        reducing the separation helix amplitude to simulate higher intensity.

***>>> The President has signed the Energy & Water Bill, so "we have money"
        (to operate).  Spending will continue at a reduced rate, except on
        Main Injector items.  Wilson Hall will remain open (unless DOE, our
        contractor, orders otherwise) and the e+e- workshop will go ahead.

        The details of our budget are not yet known. Therefore,
        The director has stated his priorities in case budget shortfall
                requires reduction of the amount of machine operation
        1] Fixed Target Readiness
        2] Fixed Target Operation for 13 weeks
        3] Finish Collider Program
                * 1 week of Vs=630 GeV low energy running
                * 5 days of E811 dedicated running
                * MAY CUT 1800 GeV COLLIDER RUN SHORT by 3weeks if necessary
  
==============================================================================

NOV 13
10:27     13-NOV-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

* Power glitched over the owl shift Saturday morning
        likely corresponds with D-Zero electronics trips

* Pbar lens has been pulsed and is ready to go in

****>>> THERE WILL BE AN ALL_DAY ACCESS TUESDAY 11/14 <<<****

        to install it and make lots of necessary repairs

* Tev is planning to ATTEMPT its first 36x36 store today!
        expect it sometime after about 15:00
        there is a vac leak in the B1 separator, which
        sparks and causes the beam to be lost

* CDF OPERATIONS RESPONSE TO THE D-ZERO LOW ENERGY RUN PROPOSAL
  IS THAT CDF DOES NOT WANT THE LOW ENERGY PERIOD UNTIL JANUARY

* there is a plan to stack 130 tons of brick shielding in the
  Booster tunnel (MI construction related test), possibly tomorrow
  Of course, the tunnel will sink.

==============================================================================

NOV 10
17:33     10-NOV-95 9am meeting report, M.Tartaglia
===================================================

* 4 hour access yesterday for numerous necessary repairs;
--> Tev E49 bus left open; caused by confusion (odd-size wrench shortage)
--> A47 spool safety lead problem fixed
        electrical gnd crimp failure ==> 1K AMP through small Cu readback
        tube, melted tube!  "Couple hundred of these" should all be fixed
        sometime!
--> still some major outstanding requests (eg, 8hr flying wire) for access

* PBAR dump stack studies; delta-kickers phased; stack-tail kicker centered
  tank 10 = aperture restriction "looks odd"
--> now starting to cycle 100K pulses on new lens
--> new lens MAY be ready WEDNESDAY
--> other new lens construction to commence soon

* TEV abort block position change improved abort loss problems
  will be tuning up p-only & 150 GeV today

* MR cog module problem caused F4 quench @ 1am; still solving at 9am
* 400 MeV chopper leads problem

*** SCHEDULE ***
    36x1 studies to continue
    NEXT FORMAL ACCESS WHEN PBAR LENS READY (~ a shift to replace it)
        
==============================================================================
==============================================================================
        36 BUNCH HALO AND LUMINOSITY MONITORS OPERATIONAL

NOV  3   (DURING 36x0 store)
14:14    Steve Chappa and Albert Dyer were called in to adjust the clock
         phase, which needed a fairly large adjustment.  He sees P1,3,5 as
         expected.  Dean notes that the proton bunches are all coalesced
         into several buckets (about 70% into one bucket early)!  Rich
         Partridge is now going to check the level0 timing.         MT

NOV  3
16:51    we have come to the conclusion that the tev beam synch marker is
         1.42 microseconds earlier than where it should be!  Possibly this
         has resulted from the power outage, and some module somewhere has
         not been properly reset.  Accelerator experts have already gone
         home, so we are attempting to compensate with offset in clock file.
                                                                    MT

NOV  3
16:59    So, the timing of the proton bunches have all been rotated by
         76 bunches (relative to beam at D0)... we don't know why we had
         to do this.                                                MT

NOV  3
17:58    accelerator controls expert (Bob Ducar) has notified us that the
         279 card needs to be programmed!  Only one channel (our tev bs)
         has been restored (for now)...                             MT
NOV  3
18:45    The Acnet device to check is T:DCBST0  A reading of 0 is WRONG.
         It should read 0.067 (eng units) or 77 (MADC Volts?) or 4D (raw
         HEX).  That moves our entire D0 clocking system by 77 RF buckets.
         Also when Steve Chappa "adjusted" the clock, the setting was wrong,
         so we were also 1 rf bucket off.  I have adjusted it, but steve
         should check it on Monday.
         					Dean Schamberger 
NOV  4  (DURING 36x1 store)
10:10    COGSUM is 28.14, we see luminosity in the P29 bucket (and pbar halo
         in the same bucket.  There are proton halos in all of the proton
         buckets, and none in the empty buckets; so, it looks like our timing
         is now correct! [AS DISPLAYED BY TRGMON]                        MT

NOV  7
09:28    Yesterday I fixed several bugs in the PER_BUNCH_LUM program which
         resulted in the pbar bunch halo being reported in the wrong 
         C:D0AHii ACNET channel.  As far I can tell the system is now working
         correctly.                                  Dan
         Owen

NOV  3
11:10     03-NOV-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia                          
=====================================================

** PBAR yield is still low, due to debuncher problems
   A NEW LENS has been filled & is being prepared: will take 1.5-2 weeks

** TEV requested work on COG bits, p&pbar RF cavity balance, and could use
   an access (est 4-8 hours) sometime to survey beam pipe and adjust abort
   position in A0; would also install fast scintillator in A13 to get info
   about beam in the abort gap...

** PLAN is to work on 36x1 stores, probably 2 per day for the next week
   will have low (barely measureable?) pbar intensity, p as intense as possible
   goals:[1] Measure long range beam-beam efect seen by each pbar bunch
         [2] realte to lifetime, emittance growth rate, helix amplitude
         [3] prepare for 36x36 store tests, to begin about 11/12
   sequence:
         [1] 36x1 @ 150 GeV, measure lifetime; tune vs COG vs Helix amplitude
         [2] 36x1 @ 900 FT ,   "        "       "   "   "   "   "      "
         [3] 36x1 @ 900 lowBeta "       "       "   "   "   "   "      "
         [4] other: p-only helix aperture; pbar-only & colliding emit growth

==============================================================================

NOV  2
10:45     02-NOV-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================
** PBAR stack is up to 24 mA; will begin transferes to TEV after 2 hours
   timing setup in pbar source.  Low stacking rate seems to be understood,
   due entirely to the lens gradient and position; new lens tests this wkend

** Tev is ready for pbar tune studies; will go with 3mA injection transfers
   until get a pbar bunch of 10E9 or so...
   plan is to do 36x1 studies beginning owl shift tonight.

** CDF inserted their Tokyo Pots to fully-in position, with no noticeable
   increase in CDF or D0 losses.

==============================================================================

10:33     01-NOV-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

** PBAR is tuning up phasing systems for cooling;
        HAVE ACHIEVED STACKING at 1mA/hr (stack to 10mA now)
        limited by (old) lens gradient and AP2 bottleneck,
          about *2 lower than expected
        work interrupted yesterday when a 480 V cable severed by construction!

** Tev injection and multibatch studies continue; still have a problem with
        quenches due to sloppy aborts
        studies today may include 36 bunch and abort cleanup;
        PBAR single bunch injection studies to start w/stact @ 15mA

** MR is at about 75% efficiency, should be able to reach 85%

** CDF would like to move Tokyo Pots in to 10mm position,
        15 minute test to look at beam & signals
        D0 should be notified

==============================================================================

14:00 Monday OCT 30   The Weekend In Review, M.Tartaglia
========================================================

** Friday night at 23:30 there was a power outage to D0, CDF, & FCC caused 
   by FEEDER-49 GROUND FAULT; accelerators all glitched but recovered.

   FDR-49 customers were switched temporarily to FDR-45 while 49 gets repaired.
   Present estimate is 1-2 weeks to fix the bad cable.

     D0 left power to platform and MCH off for the weekend, but due to the 
     long estimate for feeder repair*, we are turning things on starting today
     (shift trainees get the advantage of a `ground up' turnon experience for
      their first day of training!)
     * experts claim the switch back to 49 will occur without power glitch

     Platform VESDA Smoke Alarms went off Saturday night, forcing Fire Dept.
     collision hall access and search for the problem: concluded this was
     another case of `the Air Conditioner heater units fired, burning the 
     dust on heaters'.
     
** PBAR source has replaced its magnets, but had problem with a power
   transformer Sunday, which continues today.  
    There is a vacuum leak (OK for now) in the APEX section of the accumulator;
    APEX was replaced by an OLD pipe rather than the NEW preferred pipe, which 
    has a very useful clearing electrode (i.e., this was a screwup).  
    MAY wish to break vacuum to swap this...

    Have made progress with reverse proton studies;
    Expect Debuncher ready to begin stacking, stack-tail studies Tuesday;
    Single-bunch Tevatron transfer expected late Wednesday.

** TEV is still parsing the squeeze.  Will do 36x0 stores today, 
    head-tail stability studies tomorrow, E853 Tuesday night,
    36x1 collisions on or after Wednesday night.

==============================================================================

OCT 27
10:43     27-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M. Tartaglia
======================================================

* MR CONTROLLED ACCESS began at 04:00, will last until > 14:00
        pbar debuncher magnet D4B11 is being replaced
        MR 8 GeV magnet HB83 is being replaced
        MR Flying wires and vacuum leaks are being fixed
        (+ number of other small repairs)
        Two A1 Kautzky valves were replaced this morning; cold by noon
* a couple of high temperature MR magnets appear to have clogged
  measurement flow;
* pbar H aperture appears to be about right;
  will measure V aperture starting tonight; "on schedule"
* MR 2As were tuned up; 2B multibatch work next
* stacking will probably start on Sunday

==============================================================================
OCT 26
10:50     26-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M. Tartaglia
======================================================

* Pbar replaced the ground faulted quad, and has circulated rev p in accum
  There is another shorted debuncher magnet that must be replaced to stack!

  This will be done Friday early; PROBABLY will also replace the MR magnet
  at the same time; will decide later today:
         if so, access will begin at 04:00 Friday and extend until 12 or ...

  Don't anticipate pbar transfer into the Tevatron until Sunday or Monday.
* Studies plans:
  PBAR: reverse p tuneup of accumulator
  MR: work on 2A tunes
  Tev: tunes and flying wire studies at 150 GeV; parse squeeze; 36 bunch

==============================================================================
OCT 25
10:26     25-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

* The "all day" access yesterday was cut short because the replacement
  magnet for HB83 was the wrong type; a correct spare has been located
  and will be ready late today (18 ceramics & feet need modification)

* a Kautzky valve at E2 was replaced; no mention of why the B1 Kautzky
  previously replaced was actually not leaking (?faulty indication?)
  Cryo also did wet engine preventive maintenance during access.

  *** an 8-10 hour access to replace HB83 is tentatively planned for 11/1

* Yesterday's startup was delayed by a C11 beampipe sag, caused by mechanical
  work done in the area; a support was put in.  There are possibly several
  other sections of pipe around the ring susceptible to the same problem.
  Several vacuum leaks were fixed; at least one other was not.  Also, the
  MR flying wires were not fixed due to shortened shutdown (will do next time)

* a Linac Klystron died because the safety system has been used to turn them
  off (not designed for this).

* TCLK problems continue in many areas; experts are "backtracking" and trying
  a new tack today.  In some cases, 377 cards are not properly decoding some
  clock events.

* at 22:00 power to F4 frig house was lost; 0140 replace F4 Power Transformer 
  D0 was called for access at 02:00, and the Dubna group spent 4-5
  hours working on their system.  08:00 F4 work completed.  The F4 section 
  of Tevatron warmed to 80 K, and will take at least 5 more hours to cool down. 
  Anticipate Tev ready for beam by about 16:00.

* PBAR achieved reverse protons to accumulator, but couldn't circulate beam
  due to problem with injection (extraction?) kicker.
  polarity reversed to pbar mode.  At turnon, had a ground fault in D2QD14,
  a quad known to have had a bad internal leak.  Will have to go to
  supervised access mode to replace.

* Mechanical group and CDF would like a couple hours access for small stuff.

*** Crystal Extraction should run tonight, first store after Tevatron is
    ready (if before midnight).  May also run on Friday.  Schedule is
    otherwise not clear, tho priorities are:
        get MR 2B's going !
        get pbar started and collide beams !
    D0 has permission to try running the toroid magnets

==============================================================================

OCT 23
09:58     23-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M. Tartaglia
======================================================

* There is a cryo problem at B1 upstream that prevents Tevatron ramping;
  requires immediate access for inspection of Kautzky valves
  (1 hour investigation; may be longer depending upon what is discovered,
   esp. if inside the shield wall)

* pbar is secure and turning on supplies; pulsing Li Lens.  Note that
  this is not a new lens (there are no working new lenses!), and they
  expect stacking rates to be reduced to about 80% for several days
  until new lenses become available.  Stacking is expected to start
  on Friday.

* MR efficiency is up to about 70%... still working on it.

* Tev did helix vs tune studies; basically "on schedule".  Expect more
  36 bunch proton-only stores towards end of the week, colliding beams
  may start around Saturday or thereafter.

* Crystal extraction (E853) had a good run Friday, and are scheduled
  for two more exposures, Tuesday and Friday.  (Need 900 GeV, so can't
  run until Tevatron can ramp again.

==============================================================================

OCT 18
10:54     18-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

* MR has had a number of "tclock" related problems, which have been
  solved by changing cards and redistributing the clock signals

* E853 ran for about 6 hours 

* SCHEDULE is essentially as stated earlier:
  MR multibunch studies during the day
  Tev tune and single bunch studies tonight
  Friday E853 will run again

***>>> A LONG (12 hr) ACCESS will probably occur NEXT WEDNESDAY
        (primarily for replacement of leaking 8 GeV line MR magnet)
        More discussion of this will occur next Monday

==============================================================================

OCT 17
10:34     17-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
======================================================

* 980 GeV studies ended with T:QF ground fault
        found a bad internal spool coil; jumpered it out
        spare spools are available for replacement in the future

* High Energy Cryo tests continued with Portable Quench Detection accesses

* Feeder 21 failure occurred, was repaired after 6 hours by about 0200

        -- NOTE that D-zero was not notified during any of these periods!
           (in spite of numerous requests)
    
* Booster still needs 2-3 hour GMPS study time (no beam)
           also needs to change a bad circuit breaker
>>POSSIBLY FRIDAY !!

* MR has a magnet with a water leak; flying wire also still busted

***>>> PLAN: E853 will run at midnite tonite
       MR multibatch studies continue through the weekend
       TEV 36 bunch studies, single-bunch tune studies, D48 kicker studies,
         & "approach to collision" low beta & cog sequence optimization work
         + more 36 bunch studies over the weekend  / all at 900 GeV
       Pbar plans to secure Thursday nite, Power Supply checkout on weekend
         beam by Monday ??

       POSSIBLE "NO BEAM" for several hours FRIDAY
       POSSIBLE (4-8 hour) ACCESS NEXT WEEK WEDNESDAY

==============================================================================

OCT 16
09:55     16-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia
=====================================================

* Weekend review:
        TeV energy studies: ramp reached 1005 GeV
                            2 quenches at 1010
        TeV beam accelerated to 980 GeV
                2 quenches at B2 during low beta squeeze
                caused by frig flow problems; readjusted frigs to cure

***>>> PLAN:
        MONDAY: 24 hours of 980 GeV Tev proton studies
                  to check cold compressor operation
                  to monitor beam for any problems
                "portable quench studies" to find exact location of weak mags

        TUESDAY: 4-hour Crystal Extraction (E853)
        REST-OF-THE-WEEK: various MR & TeV studies (36 bunch tests)

****** NOTES: Booster wants 2 hour dayshift slot this week with no beam
                to study GMPS controls problems
              MR performance rather poor due to big losses when
                go to accelerate beam; "tunes don't resemble reality"
                want a shift with TeV off (or at 150 GeV) to study
                calibration of tune table

==============================================================================

OCT 12
10:19     12-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report, M.Tartaglia            
=====================================================                     

* MR spent yesterday doing RF multibatch coalescing studies
                             
* Tev did 36 bunch injection studies
	poor lifetime? thought to be synch light monitor problem, not Tev
	2 quenches: one from the injection, one from sequencer error
  achieved acceleration of 36 uncoalesced bunches to low beta;
  had problems with losses when attempted this with coalesced beam

* now setup and running crystal extraction tests at C0

* tests are basically "on schedule"
	Tev tune measurements went well, but the result is "not good"
	high energy quench studies will last 2-3 days, plus or minus
	MR multibunch studies will continue at the level of 1 shift/day
	MR otherwise will be tuning up [still not happy with 8 GeV line]

***> PLAN:
	there will probably be a "few hour"access tomorrow
       	      for necessary repairs  (see D11, by noon)  
***>>  	I have requested that the crew chief contact D-zero                
       	if there will be an opportunity (>2hours) for MR off cosmic running

=====================================================
                                         
* MR has a number of items to repair during the next access:
	2 Power Amps
	F48 Flying Wire       	
  NO ACCESS HAS BEEN SCHEDULED (but clearly there will be one sometime!)
 
* John Marriner has drawn up a rough studies schedule for the reminder of
  this week:
	o MR will be working on Intensity Improvements and Multibatch oper'n
	o Tev will work on tune studies and 36 bunch operation at 150 GeV
	  until Thursday                                                   
	o Thursday morning there may be E853 (crystal extraction) checkout
	  running for a couple of hours
	o Starting Thursday there will be 3 days of ring-wide (non low beta)
	  magnet quench studies "to learn how to identify bad dipoles"
	  [I *THINK* this must be the high-energy testing because CRYO 
       	   indicated they will be starting cold compressors as preparation] 
    
* PBAR startup scheduled for 10/23
* PBAR injection into Tevatron scheduled for 10/30

OCT 10
11:34     10 OCT,1995 9am Meeting Report (M.Tartaglia)                       
       	============================================

	* LLRF timer problems were responsible for the MR->Tev transfer
	  problems: several cards couldn't decode the 2B signal, and 
	  "something is still on-the-edge"

	* during MR access at noon yesterday: fixed corrector & BPM problems
	  Tev T:VF25 dipole regulator replaced - last spare used!
	  Found the HC24 corrector coil had ZERO INDUCTANCE, indicating an
	  internal short; its current has been zeroed out and compensated
	  elsewhere.  Some concern that other elements in the spool may
	  be affected by the shorted corrector.        

	* achieved Tev beam to Flat-top by 21:40, to Low Beta before midnite
        	NOTE: the North D0Q4 appears to really have been bumped
		by 300 microrad when the Shield was installed; this required
		a six-amp corrector adjustment, consistent with expectations
          	The South Quads are still moving slightly following cooldown.

       	* MR has high losses/low efficiency, primarily due to trouble in the
	  8 GeV line.  Coalescing has been achieved, is being tuned; will
	  start 12-bunch coalescing soon.

***> PLAN is to tune up the MR (esp injection) and Tev p-only store studies

OCT  9
10:11            	Monday 09-OCT-1995 9am Meeting Report (M.Tartaglia) 
        ===================================================

	* The decision has been made (Friday night) to NOT REPLACE the B0Q3
	  low beta quadrapole (which has no working heaters to protect it in
	  case of a quench).  Instead, the Power Supplies have been recon-
	  figured to reduce the voltage to ground when a quench occurs, and
	  hope the magnet doesn't fail.

	* Steady but slow progress was made over the weekend getting the
	  accelerator operational; however the crew chief described the
          situation as having "lots of things disconnected and still 
	  powered off"

	* Booster is running fine; someone (other than the booster 
	  coordinator !?) wants to request 4 hours study time this week,
	  related to shielding the magnets- presumably for MI/Booster tie-in)

	* MR has circulated beam, but has a couple tunnel problems and 
       	  definitely needs an access at F25; not immediately critical tho. 
                                                                          
	* TeV is ready to go at 150 GeV; there are still a number of 
	  problems, including RF trips and feedown-circuit controls.
	  Will investigate C24 corrector problem when access occurs.

	* Pbar is being put back together; still expect to be ready 10/16,
	  but indicated that MI excavation ("stairwell & chilled H2O") 
	  may delay startup by a few days...
                    
	* CDF would like access to fix a few small things

 ***>   The AD is going to blaze ahead tuning up beam in the machines;
	BUT, We anticipate an access sometime in the next few days

==============================================================================

OCT  5
09:53    MT report from 9am meeting:
         MR water work is essentially complete; expect beam to be injected
         sometime on the upcoming owl shift.  
         THEREFORE: TODAY is probably the last day of "easy" controlled 
         access.
