Hi guys,
I don't know if you heard this or not yet, but the target is out of the
magnet as of last weekend. On last Fri they tried to start cooling down
the magnet when a big leak opened. It was decided to take the up-stream
end cap of the magnet off (which means that the target had to come out).
They found that up to 60 electrical connectors were melted when they tried
to weld the leak in the cryocan. To fix the problem will take up to a
week. The target sits on the floor in the Hall. We'll have to realign it
when we'll put it back, otherwise the target seems fine,
Silviu
PS. Thursdays at 10 am PST is fine for a phone conference for me
