The draft will be discussed on Monday 981123, so please send any comment to me (for CMS) or to Nigel (for ATLAS) prior to that date. Please forward this email to your colleagues, as my list of emails is limited to a few representatives. You may find the draft of the 1999 schedule for the GIF zone and others at: http://www.cern.ch/SPSschedule/pindex.html The text for the GIF zone is included here. Note that "blocked" means that there is no beam at GIF, although the source can be used. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 schedule for the Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF): Schedule issue date: 2 Nov 1998, DRAFT 0.1 For further information contact the SPS/PS-Coordinator or the PCR Acc. shutdown from Fri 1 Jan at 0h to Mon 3 May at 8h (122d+8h) SPS Setup from Mon 3 May at 8h to Tue 11 May at 14h (8d+6h) Blocked from Tue 11 May at 14h to Wed 26 May at 9h (14d+19h) ATLAS Mu from Wed 26 May at 9h to Wed 16 Jun at 9h (20d+0h) LHCb Mu from Wed 16 Jun at 9h to Wed 23 Jun at 9h (7d+0h) CMS ECAL from Wed 23 Jun at 9h to Wed 30 Jun at 14h (7d+5h) Acc. shutdown from Wed 30 Jun at 14h to Thu 1 Jul at 14h (1d+0h) CMS DT from Thu 1 Jul at 14h to Wed 14 Jul at 9h (12d+19h) CMS RPC from Wed 14 Jul at 9h to Wed 21 Jul at 9h (7d+0h) Blocked from Wed 21 Jul at 9h to Wed 28 Jul at 14h (7d+5h) Acc. shutdown from Wed 28 Jul at 14h to Thu 29 Jul at 14h (1d+0h) Blocked from Thu 29 Jul at 14h to Wed 4 Aug at 9h (5d+19h) ATLAS Mu from Wed 4 Aug at 9h to Wed 25 Aug at 14h (21d+5h) Acc. shutdown from Wed 25 Aug at 14h to Thu 26 Aug at 14h (1d+0h) CMS CSC from Thu 26 Aug at 14h to Wed 15 Sep at 9h (19d+19h) CMS ECAL from Wed 15 Sep at 9h to Wed 22 Sep at 8h (6d+23h) Acc. shutdown from Wed 22 Sep at 8h to Wed 22 Sep at 16h (0d+8h) LHCb Mu from Wed 22 Sep at 16h to Wed 29 Sep at 16h (7d+0h) CMS RPC from Wed 29 Sep at 16h to Sun 10 Oct at 0h (10d+8h) Acc. shutdown from Sun 10 Oct at 0h to Mon 25 Oct at 14h (15d+14h) Blocked from Mon 25 Oct at 14h to Wed 10 Nov at 8h (15d+18h) Blocked from Wed 10 Nov at 8h to Wed 1 Dec at 0h (20d+16h) The list of machine development times should be consulted to see the shorter periods when the machine will be unavailable. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine development periods in 1999: This is a list of the machine development periods of the CERN SPS.
