Max Bruker 

  Previous (Jan 18 - Jan 29)
     - Finished SBIR review
     -	Some work on the JSPEC code to get a decent basis for the Python interface to be useful
     -	This was motivated by He's tech note that is currently being edited
     -	Tried to start working on EIC RF problems, but folks are reluctant to share prior material, particularly simulation code... Will 
       need to pester more
  Next (Feb 1 - Feb 12)
     - Edit the JSPEC tech note
     -	I am planning to redesign and document the JSPEC Python interface. Merge both projects into one, throwing C++ file i/o and run file parsing overboard and making all data 
       transparent through nparrays etc. Slightly restructure the class hierarchy such that it more readily exposes the important interfaces to the user.
     -	UITF optics work. We would like to obtain a model that is consistent with reality and hope to get there with iterative measurements and corrections. Due to lack of harps 
       in the keV beam line, measuring the emittance there may prove to be cumbersome but hopefully not impossible.

     - Two abstracts are prepared and submitted to IPAC2021.
     - I was working to �nd out the discrepancy in Touschek lifetime especially in high energy ring.
   Next two weeks (Feb 1 - Feb 12)
     - I will submit all tech notes into JLab system after the �nal approval from my supervisors.
     - Further exploration of beam dynamics in a dual energy storage ring.
     - I will be working on to �nd out the discrepancy in Touschek lifetime in high energy ring.

River Huang 

   Previous two weeks (Jan 18 - Jan 29)
     - We are working on study the image reconstruction of collision beams based on Poisson's solution of equation and trying to solve the retarded potentials based on results obtained in 1995 by R.A. Kruger.
     - We are also working on optimizing CASA Beam-Beam.
   Next two weeks (Feb 1 - Feb 12)

Isurumali Neththikumara 

   Previous two weeks (Jan 18 - Jan 29)
     - Completed creating 10-pass north linac files with 750 MeV energy gain per pass with different phase advances (900,1200,600)
     -	Compared OptiM and Elegant output for 600 FODO linac with 1.1 GeV gain. 
            - Elegant files were obtained from Dr. Roblin, and there’s a pretty good agreement in both results
            - But inj+NL file had deviations due to weak cavity-end focusing 
     -	Tried to write a conversion script from OptiM to Elegant, but it’s complicated, so decided to convert OptiM to Madx, then convert
       Madx to Elegant format.
   Next two weeks (Feb 1 - Feb 12)
     - Start writing the GA code.

Joe Gubeli 

   Previous two weeks (Jan 18 - Jan 29)
     - Isotopes – Work on 50kW design
     - ARDDOT - The three stands and vacuum chambers for the ARC 7 SLMs have been installed. The next step is to have the chambers aligned by S&A. Working on a 
       new design for the 1A and 2A SLMs to place the camera over the upstream dipole. This approach should allow us to take advantage of the dipole steel as radiation shielding. 
       The design is not entirely straightforward as the there is little room between the dipole and ceiling making the XYZ camera translation difficult.
   Next two weeks (Feb 1 - Feb 12)
     - Isotopes – Work on the 50kW design
     - ARDDOT – Continue working on diagnostics upgrade to CEBAF (simulations, engineering and designs).
