Due to the large numbers of people expected to attend, you must RSVP in order to be admitted. In return, you will be sent an admittance card and parking instructions. The new name will be announced at the dedication. The electron spectrometer cryogenic system has been completed and the magnets are now cold. Testing of the power supplies is in progress.
Work continues on the electrical and cryogenic systems on the hadron arm.
The electron arm detector package is ready for installation on the spectrometer and has undergone extensive tests with cosmic rays. The near-term goal is to begin commissioning of the electron arm with beam starting May 14. This will be followed by work on the hadron arm starting midsummer and continuing into the fall. The first experiment is planned to start in December. Sector 0 is mechanically identical to the regular six segments but has only a small fraction of the wires strung.
