The cyclotron is currently delivering 40 µA to ISAC and < 1 µA to PIF. This will continue over the weekend. The BL1A shielding blocks are being put back in the hopes of bringing BL1A online Monday night.
At ISAC, 11Be is still going to β-NMR. They'll run until tomorrow morning, at which point we'll start tuning 10Be for TIGRESS. Sophia and Marco are tuning 20Ne through the ISAC-II linac to TIGRESS in preparation for the switch to RIB tomorrow. TIGRESS will run until BL1A startup on Monday evening. – Morton

Right now, the cyclotron is delivering 40 µA to ISAC and < 1 µA to PIF. There's no maintenance scheduled for tomorrow, so things should continue like this through the weekend.
At ISAC, 11Be is being delivered to β-NMR for a polarizer test. Sophia is setting up the accelerators with 20Ne for this weekend's TIGRESS 10Be run. Tomorrow should be more of the same, with stable beam tuning through the TIGRESS vacuum chamber in the afternoon or evening. We'll switch to delivering 10Be to TIGRESS on Thursday. – Morton
