Fri, 14 Jun 2013 08:24:29 Refill of SR may occur within the next hour In-Reply-To:
If we can get good extraction from the Booster, will we do a fill-on-fill without the usual 30 minute warning. We have an additional injector problem which may prevent us from filling the ring if we wait the additonal 30 minutes. Karen Schroeder

There was a major RMS beam motion starting at 08:47 due to issues with Storage Ring Real Time feedback program. Stored beam was lost at 09:03 during RT feedback troubleshooting, when the feedback was initialized.
Sat, 8 Jun 2013 09:59:49 IOC Reboot
We had to reboot an IOC with the storage ring orbit controllaw turned off. The reboot has been completed and we do not see any further disruption.
Sat, 8 Jun 2013 03:10:09 Top-up aborted In-Reply-To:
Due to an IOC reboot top up was aborted with the storage ring orbit controllaw turned off. The reboot has been completed and we do not see any further disruption.
Sat, 8 Jun 2013 02:32:29 IOC Reboot

Wed, 5 Jun 2013 17:32:57 Beam Losses/Target Current In-Reply-To:
Repetitive beam losses (16:25, 16:48) due to SR RF issues has prompted management to lower the SR Target Current to 90mA. Top-up will slowly bring the current to 102mA. Beam ETA ~18:00.
