Trinczek, Dave Ottowell, John D'Auria, Dave Hutcheon, Art Olin, Jonty Pearson,

1.Hardware Status
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JD: Mini 1 hour shutdown for changing ion source. Changing of backup power 
supply in ISAC 2. 
Water leak in quad coils still there. DH: Curtis says someone is on it. 
PM: Might do it??. 

JD: Front end Alignment? DH: Upstream block seems twisted and everything 
else is okay. 
AO: When was it last looked at? DH: Jan 02. 
AO: Perhaps has influence on Carbon distributions. 
JD: Need to be done before Al? AO: Can this be simulated? 
JD: CR will look into the simulation. 
JD: Status of ED1. 

2.Present Experimental Status 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JD: H3 experiment lost beam last night, currently tuning. CR: Beam is on target. 
DH: FC1 signal is coming from target and bias of holder is being applied via 
battery and aligator clip. JD: Run will continue. 
CO: CV has figured out that the density in TRIM is not adjusted by the program 
correctly. Results now agree 
with the program quite well. A surface barrier detector was put in the ion 
chamber to figure out the energy loss  in the mylar in vacuum. JD showed us 
that we had incorrect polarity bias applied, results look much better with 
correct bias. Preliminary indications show we have mylar of 0.3 micro meters 
thickness. DH points out vacuum data is not as sharp as the mylar data which 
needs to be investigated. 
Bing: C11 run ~52mC activity. Beam intensity 2x10^7 but is unsure it's right. 
JD: Seems low. CR and MT will look into it.  
JD: Summer students are arriving. Heather will be split between JC and CR. 
Benji will be working with JP.
