see Malcolm's news for an inventory of news – excellent!
enormous effort at RAL to get beam on time on 20 January
Cosmic test
we are now organizing 2008 run
-- request shifter list (please answer!)
-- organize run coordinators (MOMs)
-- draw planning of activities (run plan)
-- safety conditions and safety procedures are being defined
technical coordinator/project manager is responsible for
safety in MICE
-- when you are coming to RAL please foresee a couple extra
work days the first time to get yourself fully up to date on admin

INFN funding
Dear Alain,
as Maurizio and Ludovico know, the MICE-INFN ordeal
can be considered solved.
We have approved today in the Directors Board the funds assignement to
each MICE sections, which will be fully available immediately.
Since I don't want to lose my image of MICE defender, I have also
implemented the UK resources with some additional money for travel and

Run plan -- steps I and II
m
STEP I
Jan-Feb 2008
Goals:
I – Commission target
Establish beam rates
commission beam line, optics,
alignment
II – Match beam with diffuser
STEP II
fill {p,e} matrix necessary to draw
march –April 2008 emittance vs. transmission curve.
Measure emittance
Runnng time:
Take 200-400 muons per 1ms spill once per second
In steps I-IV 1% (0.1%) emittance meast will take ~1 (100) minute
6 times longer in steps V and VI where phase matters.
preliminary estimate
total for steps I & II: 70 days
STEP I requires 60 shifts (20 days of running)
beam line commissionning, target tuning (rates), DAQ and detector shake down
STEP II requires 150 shifts (50 days, will extend in summer 2008)
Alignment of beam x,x’,y,y’, (Lack of) dispersion,
check range of transverse emittance, and range of momenta
measure emittance and…
