1. Mike Church presented "Letters of Recognition" from the BD Head to Timofei Bolshakov - for number of SDA software tools, and to Bruce Hanna - for number of improvemnts which led to recent increase of proton intensity at low beta. Congratulations! 2. Vladimir presented bi-monthly Tevatron progress report: in average, peak luminosity increased by 16% since mid-March, mostly due to larger N_protons, pbar emittance blowup ("scallops") and losses on ramp are real issues now; there is significant progress in diagnostics and physics studies; not much of peak luminosity increase expected in the next two month because of the need to integrate 225pb-1 this FY (thus - reduced time for studies). See talk on Tev Web page or beams-doc-637. 3. Jerry shown a tentative list of next Tev coordinators, XLZhang will start his 1 month term as the coordinator tonight. Thanks to Mike Martens for a good job done as the Tev coordinator in the last two months! 4. Reports from HALO'03/Beam-Beam conference: Dean was impressed by bent crystal collimators used at RHIC; Tanaji reported interesting results with wires carring 240A in SPS - prototype for the LHC beam-beam compensation; Vladimir was impressed by fast and precise lattice measurements in RHIC with use of AC dipoles. 5. Mike M overviewed latest stores (before this week shutdown) - they were not very good (in two stores pbars were blown and lost when protons went coherent at the end of squeeze, in three other stores L was above 30 but still way below 45e30 because we did shoot from smaller pbar stacks plus there were pbar problems in AA and MI). Still, Mike does NOT think that such miserable performance should be attributed to the beam studies we performed last week. 6. Jim Volk summarized work done during 3 days shutdown this week: all Tevatron mini-projects accomplished as planned - QXRT quads installed at E17, E11 and C0; three water levels installed at A16; TEL guys tried to calibrate their BPMs; more smart bolt measurements; kicker work; cryo work; vacuum work. 7. Timofei Bolshakov of BD/Controls has written Java tool which allows to see and present Datalogged Arrays the same way as in the Tev Array Viewer. plus one can save data in ASCII or eXcel file. The application is simple, fast, easy to install and run (even from home). Start from www-bd.fnal.gov/appix or Tev Software Application web page http://www-bdnew.fnal.gov/tevatron/software.htm 8. Tanaji analized pbar emittance shaving at 150 in 10 stores (April '03) and found good numerical agreement with Dynamic Aperture calculations (MAD, SIXTRACK). Furthermore, his codes correctly predict intensity drop due to the 3D shaving. Note, that the stores anyalyzed had huge pbar losses at 150 because transverse dampers were not operational that the time and we were forced to keep chromaticities high. 9. Valery has derived theoretical shape of Tevatron Schottky spectra at 1.7GHz and was really glad to see that the measured spectra are as expected, i.e., Q and 1-Q lines have different width and amplitudes. He was able to extract dp/p and Chromaticity from measured pbar spectra. He estimates that the error in determination of C_v,h using that technique is about 3 units. There was some discussion between him, Jim Steimal and Andreas Jansson on how the existing electronics distorts the Schottky spectra. The work will continue [ideally, we may be able to get bith tunes AND chromaticies from new Schottky on bunch-by-bunch basis].
