Greetings:
Raith 150 will be off line for ALL users starting 10 AM Monday May 3,
2004
for LEO maintenance. I would not expect the system to be back up until
after
Friday afternoon.. We will make the system available overnight and
evenings if possible, if we are not in bake out mode.
Please stay tuned to this channel for periodic updates as new
information presents itself.
PLEASE REMOVE YOUR RESERVATIONS AFTER 11 AM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
MIDNIGHT.
THERE ARE OPEN SLOTS ON CORAL THIS WEEKEND. PLEASE MAKE USE OF
THESE OPEN SLOTS TO PUSH YOUR WORK THROUGH BEFORE WE COME DOWN.
Arriving Monday will be Bernd Stegemann from RAITH GmbH, Cole Loomis
with Raith USA, and Alan Lysse and Mike Santomango from Carl Zeiss
SMT, formerly LEO, to effect repairs to the EHT Power
supply and evaluate the FE-Gun once again. This downtime is to
eliminate the problems we have been
observing with arcing and EHT trips at higher acceleration voltages.
Thank you for your continued support!
James Conway
