Please report your problems.
Special Announcements
Starting Feb 19, 2007, SRC will be scheduling full quanta of Special beams, such as Single Bunch, after midnight. If you have a specific need, contact Ralf Wehlitz, rwehlitz@src.wisc.edu , to arrange time. We ask 1 GeV users to either attend the Monday noon scheduling meeting or to provide their requests for the coming week's owl shifts by e-mail to Operations Group Leader, Robert Legg, legg@src.wisc.edu, well before the meeting. At the noon meeting, the beam energy and machine configuration for each of the midnight shifts during the week will be firmly established. The official SRC policy for how morning beams are taken can be seen at Morning Development Beam Policy.
Due to budgetary constraints, the policy concerning Saturday beams has been changed. Saturday User beams will only occur as make-up beams for Holidays or in the case of exceptional circumstances for a User. If a User wishes to apply for a Saturday beam then they must send email to Joe Bisognano, Director, and Hartmut Hochst, Scientific Director, outlining their needs and justifications before noon on the Wednesday in the week in which they want the beam.
