1. Mike Church delivered "Letters of Recognition" to Peter Garbincius and
Howie Pfeffer for their great job done on the C0 Lambertson replacement.
Congratulations!

2. John Marriner, who recently visited CERN, shared his view on the
FNAL-LHC collaboration: involvement of the CERN people in Tev studies can
be better, upto 15 FNAL people a year might be involved in the LHC
commissioning (when?), there are some $$ in the US-LHC program now, but it
mostly in magnets, few workers in accelerator physics (simulations),
possible areas of FNAL contribution= TEL and tune tracker.

3. Mike Martens outlined 7 issues Tev Dept has recently passed to Beam
Physics Dept, among the most important are: a) helix after C0; b)
correlate alignment and coupling; c) longitudinal tomography; d) wire
compensation and pbar lifetime vs helix, N_p and N_bunches. Alvin urged us
to be serious about getting high field (6-9T) dipoles.

4. Andreas leads the Tev IPM project (just started). At the first mtg,
fabrication of the magnets has been identified as the longest lead
time item (10 months)... that makes questionable desired August 2003
installation date. Specs and options are still under consideration.

5. Vladimir summarized discussions on the Longitudinal Density Monitor
proposed by Max Zolotorev of LBL - that's great technique which will
measure the DC beam intensity in abort gap and tails of the longitudinal
bunch distribution. We are not ready to commit resources until we try to
use SL, SBD and FWs for the same purposes (Cheung, Pordes, Hahn, et al -
will take about 6 wks).

6. Jerry summarized the first few stores after the shutdown: luminosity
bounced between 21 and 15e30, there were all sorts of things (kicker
prefires, interrupted UPS, etc) which did not allow stores to last, plus
there was a quench at the start of the ramp (caused by the DC beam). Pbar
coalescing efficiency was low too. Jerry also mentioned somewhat(10%)
better effective emittance at low-beta, compared to pre-shutdown. Alvin
found that proton vacuum lifetime in a 36x0 was
incredibly high (>1000 hours), while he never saw better than 600 hrs
before shutdown. Also, in 36x0 store, a better proton lifetime at 150 GeV
helix was observed by Vladimir, but in later HEP stores the lifetime went
back to preshutdown values (1-2 hours).

7. Jim Crisp measured huge transverse impedance of about 1 MOhm/m in the
C0 Lambertson magnets (recently removed from the Tevatron). THree of those
magnets would give 3MOhm/m at 100 MHz, by far exceeding F0 lambertsons
(0.2 MOhm/m total)  and all separators (4.8MOhm/m but at 25 Mhz). Next
week beam studies will answer questions on beam stability after the
C0 magnet removal.

8. Ralph Pasquinelli presented the very first, somewhat surprizing results
from the new Tev Schottky detectors: a) big fat Nxf_0 line dominates
transverse spectrum, though betatron lines are clearly seen above noise;
b) transverse motion penetrates into longitudinal spectrum. Better beam
centering should help both a) and b). Extensive studies of the 1.7GHz
shottky signals anticipated next week and after.
