-      - Development of JSPEC code
-      - DeCooling Rate Calculation for JLEIC with New Parameters
-      - BeamBeam3D
-      - River helped me to repeat Sergei’s deriving of the Bjorken and Mtingwa (BM) formula for the IBS rate calculation
-        using the elliptical integral and to check whether we can extend Sergei’s method on a general case including
-        vertical dispersion and all the missing terms in the oringal BM formula. Our current conclusion is the total rate,
-        summation of the rates in all the three directions, can be calculated using Sergei’s formula, as long as we calculate
-        the eigenvalue of the I matrix, which is related to the dispersion matrix, numerically. Since the I matrix is a
-        symmetric real matrix, its eigenvalues can be calculated using some routine algorithm. We failed to find the explicit
-        formula for the rate in each individual direction. To find the formula, we need explicit expression of the
-        eigenvalue, which does not exist for a general matrix I. I have an idea of decompose the I matrix into three parts,
-        treat them separately and take the summation. But I am not positive this method gives correct or approximate answer.
-    Next two weeks (Jan 18 - Feb 1)
-      - The core-tail model for non-Gaussian IBS is in process
-      - Finish space charge effect in friction force calculation
-      - Continue documenting JSPEC development
-      - Electron beam Space charge effect on friction force calculation is in process.
-      - Cooling Rate Calculation for JLEIC with New Parameters
-      - In the new parameter set of JLEIC, the proton beam emittance and bunch length at the collision energy have been
-        increased to mitigate the severe IBS effect. For the 63.3 GeV CM energy case, the collision frequency has been
-        changed back to 442 MHz, hence the charges per bunch has been significantly reduced, which helps to achieve a
-        milder IBS effect. The cooling rate and the IBS rate are calculated for both the 44.7 GeV CM energy and the 63.3
-        CM energy. 3.2 nC/bunch electrons provide enough cooling for both case. The challenge is still the distribution of
-        the cooling. As usual, we have very strong IBS effect in the horizontal direction and very strong cooling effect in
-        the vertical and longitudinal direction.
-      - BeamBeam3D
-      - Yu Luo send me the MAD-X lattice file for RHIC at 250 GeV. With Vascily’s help, I am able to generate the truncated
-        map using the PTC package in MAD-X. This lattice file does not include any RF cavity, so the 4D truncated maps are
-        generated. When tracking up to 1 million turns with a 2nd order map, phase space increase happens. When we perform
-        symplectic tracking using our codes, the phase space volume conserves in the 1 million turns. All four kinds of
-        generating functions have been tested and they all work as expected. When using the 3rd order truncated map in
-        tracking, no noticeable phase space distortion is observed in up to 1 billion turns. This may be because that this
-        lattice does not include the high nonlinear sections, such as the interacting region.

-      - Write for three FOA quarterly reports

-     - Worked with several groups in preparing the two LCLS-II CMs for cool down. With a lot of help we were able to

+      -
-     - I have received the four new chambers for the Arc 7 SLMs, they look really nice. I submitted the chamber support
-       drawings for one set to the MS and they are awaiting signatures. Hint-hint.
-     - I work with Jianxun Yan on moving a linear motor with EPICS. After getting all of the parameters both in firmware and
-       in EPICS correct we were able to move the motor smoothly. A similar motor on a linear slide will be used for
-       Radiabeam's high power-high speed wire scanner (HSHPWS) to be installed in the BSY.
-  Next two weeks (Jan 18 - Feb 1)
-     - Some time on the HWHPWS in preparing a presentation for OPS and in helping Jianxun.
-     - Most of the time will be spent in designing the shielding (with a movable wall and target) for the Isotope project. I
-       will also need to work some on thermal simulations for this project as well.
-     - I will also be helping with Hot Checkout of the LERF, mainly with the viewers. The video switch partially works and we
-       have no trigger so no Beaminizer.
