 Minutes of July 29, 1996 Quad/Shimming/Storage Ring/Cryo E821 Meeting 

 Yannis discussed the quad tests in the storage ring magnet. The bottom
electrode lead was modified last week to dump the electrons drifting in
the EXB field. The tests were performed on July 26 and 27. The pressure
was 4X10^-6 Torr. In the mu+ polarity, after a short conditioning period,
they went to 30KV! The design voltage is 25KV. Congratulations to the
Quad team for passing this important milestone! They will prepare for the
mu- polarity test next. 

 Lin discussed the cryo plans. They need to do maintenance on the 
expansion engine this week. It has logged 1200 hours since we began this 
cool-down. Whether we will be cold this weekend depends on how much the 
coils warm-up while the refrigerator is off due to the vacuum flash.

 John discussed the storage ring plans. They will continue working on 
inflector prep and the pole pieces this week. By the end of the week,
they hope to have half the poles leveled. 

 Ralf discussed the shimming plan. They took a tremendous amount of
magnetic field measurements on July 27-28. They are still analyzing the
data. Ralf will call a shimming meeting later in the week to discuss the
results. Respectfully submitted - Bill Morse.
