			The cyclotron is running well. After a brief interruption this morning to investigate a leak in the copper active water system, the cyclotron has continued to deliver ~125 µA to BL1A, 45 µA to BL2A, and ~75 µA to BL2C4. There are a number of interruptions to different beamlines planned over the next few days. There will be maintenance at ISAC tomorrow (BL1A will remain online), a brief period of cyclotron development Wednesday (as high-current operation with BL1A ends for Schedule 117), a change of the 1A extraction foil cartridge Thursday in preparation for low-current operation with BL1A/B, and patient treatment over the weekend.

			At ISAC, TUDA experiment S1233 has been cancelled due to a failure of the Phase 1 (cryogenics) compressor. We'll try to start the b-NMR experiments originally scheduled for Friday a few shifts early and use a shift in the interim for TRILIS development. The online schedule has been updated to reflect these changes. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			Everything is running relatively well. The cyclotron is currently delivering ~125 µA to BL1A, 45 µA to BL2A, and ~77 µA to BL2C4. This is expected to continue through the weekend.

			At ISAC, <sup>30</sup>Na is being delivered to the Osaka experiment and data-taking is underway. Polarization was successfully established earlier in the week. That experiment will continue until next Wednesday's scheduled maintenance day. At ISAC-II, SCC commissioning is underway using stable beam from OLIS. That will also continue next week. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			After a relatively uneventful weekend, the cyclotron is delivering ~125 µA to BL1A, 45 µA to BL2A, and ~75 µA to BL2C4. This will continue overnight. Maintenance is scheduled for tomorrow; beam is expected to be unavailable from 09:00 until 13:00 or so. Please note that the cyclotron will remain on for the first couple of hours as the current machine tune is documented; this is follow-up work from last week's development shift.

			<sup>30</sup>Na has been delivered to the Osaka experiment at ISAC, but has proven difficult to polarize. They're now taking <sup>26</sup>Na to try to establish polarization before switching back. That experiment will continue into next week. In addition, OLIS is being used in support of SCC commissioning. This will also continue through the week. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			Beam development will continue into the night, with maintenance (including an ISIS backplate change) planned for tomorrow. The full maintenance list is [http://trshare.triumf.ca/~acceldiv/Maintenance/Maintenance.htm here]. At this time, beam is expected late Thursday evening.

			Stable-beam tuning from the new low-power Ta target in ITW is underway. The high-power ZrC target used for development over the past four weeks has reached end-of-life and will be disconnected and removed over the next two weeks. Protons are expected on the new target following maintenance, with delivery to experiment (<sup>30</sup>Na for Osaka experiment S1114) planned for this weekend. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			BL1A is getting a little bit more beam than yesterday (~130 µA) while BL2A remains at 75 µA. Beam is still being delivered to BL2C1 for PIF (at the nA level); this is scheduled to continue overnight with isotope production on BL2C4 resuming afterwards. We expect to run ~125/75/75 µA to BL1A/2A/2C4 over the rest of the weekend.

			Yield measurements and source development are continuing at ISAC. Protons will be required off for several hours tomorrow (Saturday) to accommodate the move of TM1 to ITW; this was originally planned for last Thursday, but a leak in a cooling line delayed it. Development work will continue over the weekend, with an attempt to accelerate a charge-bred beam to SEBT3A/TIGRESS planned for Tuesday. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			The cyclotron is currently delivering ~125 µA to BL1A, 75 µA to BL2A, and tens of nA (off and on) to BL2C1 for PIF. This should continue overnight.

			At ISAC, target/source/CSB development is continuing. A decision as to whether or not we'll try to accelerate a charge-bred beam over the weekend will be made tomorrow. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]

			Beam was restored overnight, then stopped again due to RF problems, then restored again this morning, before BL2A had to be taken offline due to problems with the 2AQ15 power supply. That all seems to be sorted out now and the cyclotron is delivering ~120 µA to BL1A, 75 µA to BL2A, and tens of nA to BL2C1. This should continue overnight, with periodic accesses to 2C1 for PIF.

			At ISAC, <sup>4</sup>He is being tuned to TIGRESS for calibration purposes. This is being held up due to a problem getting the Prague magnet (used to determine the beam energy from the DTL) power supply to come on. Experts are being contacted. On the RIB side, CSB development and yield measurements are underway in preparation for a production test and delivery to TIGRESS later this week. — [[User:Morton\|Morton]]
