Lorraine Day
The CAMD wiggler project is in the installation and testing phase. The 11-
member team arrived from Budker Institute in Novosibirsk, Russia on November
22nd. Since then they have been working hard. The baked out, reassembled
magnet was placed into the CAMD storage ring on Dec 8th, with much trepidation
as it was a 110% lift and only 6 inches of clearance for our crane. Initial
cooldown is anticipated to start Thursday, December 18th. Interlocks and
hutches are being built for radiation safety and the test beamline should be
ready to go by December 26th. It will be an exciting Christmas (thought we'll
all be working), for this represents the first insertion device for the CAMD
Facility.
Wishing everyone the best this holiday season.
