Agenda and Notes

1. Operations Status and Summary/Review (Bickley/Powers)

Resume every other week meeting on RF/SRF issues.

Vacuum excursions observed in 2L26-6 over weekend. Hard quenches indicated from analysis of field data.

Not able to recover cavity, even at low gradient without high heat load.

Speculations?


2. Plasma Processing Update (Powers)


3. Progress on Particle Counter (Geng/Spata)

Particle Counter getting closer. Now design is focusing on "laser blanket" for aperture design. Detect phase shifts in interferometer arrangement.

July 22 updated solution and updated cost presented to division leadership. Waiting for favorable financial decision.

Action Item

New Ion pump evaluation;
