River Zhang

   Previous two weeks (May 6 - May 17)
      - Completed IPAC2019-poster and submitted paper.
      - "CASA BeamBeam"
      - Revised, optimized and accelerated “Crab Kick” of “CASA BeamBeam” codes by using the High Performance Python 
        Compiler, Numba. Based on JIT(Just in Time), Numba translates part of our “Crab Kick” Python functions to 
        optimized machine code at runtime using the industry-standard LLVM compiler library. 
      - Performance of “Crab kicking”
      - Simulations have been down for the JLEIC parameters again. For example, for the case CM Energy 21.9GeV, 
        comparing with previous job, the “Numba” based “Crab Kick” codes can save 1/5 time than the old code for 4000 
        turn in a collider ring.
      - 3 Particles Spin Tracking
      - For Snakes 0o, 3 particles spin tracking was carried out again via revised “CASA BeamBeam”.
   Next two weeks (May 20 - May 31)
      - pyFMM will be under investigation.
      - Continue spin tracking study.

   Previous two weeks (May 6 - May 17)
      - JEDI Proposal - Updating and improving. I started and completed the first draft of a JEDI paper suitable for 
        sending to the Virginia legislature.  It is currently being fact-checked by Steve Benson, Geoff Krafft and Jean
        Delayen, the gun section was already checked by Riad.  I will send it to you when they have approved it so you 
        have something to read on the flight back.  
      - The isotope program is progressing, with the lion’s share of the work carried out by Joe Gubeli designing the
        shielding.  His designs got approved this morning so installation will happen in the coming couple of weeks.  
      - I have spent more time than I can believe preparing for my high-school summer student, Courtney Washington. 
        I finally finished all of the forms this morning.  Gallium is a mild irritant if you get it in you eyes or on 
        the skin. That meant getting ES&H approval and modifying the parental approval form so that they can accept the 
        risk. Kevin has a Thermal Interface Material Analyzer at BNNT.  WE will have to move it to one of the LERF Labs
        so Courtney can be properly supervised.  
      - Heledp Edy with her Early Career Award proposal and participated in discussions with Edy, Geoff Krafft and Jean
        Delayen about building her proposal at ODU as part of the Commonwealth funding request.  
      - Participated in the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium Authority meeting at VCU, taking the opportunity to act
        as go-between for VCU to participate in the JEDI proposal.
