Rui Li
Previous two weeks (Sep 4-Sep 15) - ADMIN: take care matters in thesis award committee (may delay Cheng-Ying's nomination to next year to avoid conflict) - ADMIN: listen to talks at the AAC - JLEIC: discuss with Kirsten about her puzzle found in the ASTRA simulation of the magnetized beam transport---possible signal to noise problem - JLEIC: discuss with Salvador on his studies of crab cavity HOM coupled-bunch instability---the Rs and Q are orders of magnitude bigger than those found in accelerating cavities, suggested him to check similar data from existing crab cavities to see whether others have better HOM damping - ADMIN: get to know Eric's plan for his Fulbright application, in preparing recommendation letter Next two weeks (Sep 18-Sep 29) - JLEIC: start to work on slides summarizing my understanding of electron cloud in JLEIC (for presentation at R&D meeting) - JLEIC: start to work on slides summarizing JLEIC collective effects for the upcoming collaboration meeting in BNL - ADMIN: continue to work on matters for the thesis award committee (deadline is 9/16)
