       - I was taking USPAS online courses. The first course was "Spin Dynamics" from June 07 - June 19. The course was great. I learned the fundamental concepts on spin dynamics. And I also learned the basic concept of "Zgoubi" software to study the spin dynamics. That was a big class and great course.

      - Attending virtual IPAC2021. Following week: catching up on IPAC talks missed during on site work.
 
−
      - Laser particle counter: On site visit by vendor on 5/26 and 5/27. A 6-channel prototype was delivered instead of the 12-channel prototype expected due to hardware delays. Initial visit to familiarize ourselves with the hardware and GUI for data-taking. The current prototype can only record data from two channels simultaneously, so an obvious action item is to enable simultaneous recording of data from all six available channels.
 
−
      - Submitted an action item list to the vendor. Vendor will return with prototype detector either 6/3 or the following week.

       - Laser particle counter: vendor visit 6/10-6/11 with prototype detector and new software. New software for simultaneous recording of 6 channels of data was quarantined by anti-virus software - working with the vendor to try to resolve this. Vendor will return 6/14 with new software. Data analysis of 2 channel data collection using the vendor's MATLAB data parser, and also jupyter notebook to more easily handle the datasets. Discussions with the detector group on methods for testing wire and particle passage through the 6 available channels for both vacuum and ambient pressure testing setups.

       - Laser particle counter: vendor visit 6/10-6/11 with prototype detector and new software. New software for simultaneous recording of 6 channels of data was quarantined by anti-virus software - this issue was resolved.  
 +
        Vendor returned on 6/14 to participate in simultaneous data collection from all six available channels with wire sweeping events at approximately 1 Hz rep rate. Worked with vendor's MATLAB data parser to extract saved
 +
        data, and generated new MATLAB functions to plot and manipulate data from all available channels. Lowpass filtering filters out the signal from the recorded amplitude data, and only marginally improves the displacement
 +
        signal data. Tried a window technique where the displacement signal is binned, and the average over each bin is subtracted from the displacement signal over that bin - this amplifies the event signals in a way that makes
 +
        them more easily visualized.
 +
    '''Next two weeks (June 21 - July 2)'''
 +
      - Laser particle counter: Continued data analysis of 6-channel data with both 1 Hz and more sporadic wire sweeping events. Vendor will return on July 1 with software updates and for discussion on issues that have arisen during data analysis, e.g. unphysical magnitudes of displacement signal for one channel only, ways to improve the internal algorithm used for calculation of the displacement signal, and others. Will give update on LPC status at biweekly PIT meeting. Discussions with Detector Group on methods for well-defined and well-controlled wire/particle event generation.
 +
      - Looking into PD info (daily meetings, existing summaries) to better understand PD responsibilities for a possible stint as PD.

Bhawin Dhital 

   Previous two weeks (June 7 - June 18)
     - I was taking USPAS online courses. The first course was "Spin Dynamics" from June 07 - June 19. The course was great. I learned the fundamental concepts on spin dynamics. And I also learned the basic concept of "Zgoubi" software to study the spin dynamics. That was a big class and great course.  
   Next two weeks (June 21 - July 2)
     - I will be taking US Particle Accelerator School (USPAS). There are two courses, Spin Dynamics (June 06 - June 18) and Machine Learning and Optimization (June 21 - July 02). I will be busy with this \Machine Learning and Optimization" course. I will not be able to work with my dual energy storage

ring within this time period.

   Previous two weeks (June 7 - June 18)
     - Evaluating candidates for the open SS1 position as part of the search committee.
     - Laser particle counter: vendor visit 6/10-6/11 with prototype detector and new software. New software for simultaneous recording of 6 channels of data was quarantined by anti-virus software - this issue was resolved. 
       Vendor returned on 6/14 to participate in simultaneous data collection from all six available channels with wire sweeping events at approximately 1 Hz rep rate. Worked with vendor's MATLAB data parser to extract saved 
       data, and generated new MATLAB functions to plot and manipulate data from all available channels. Lowpass filtering filters out the signal from the recorded amplitude data, and only marginally improves the displacement 
       signal data. Tried a window technique where the displacement signal is binned, and the average over each bin is subtracted from the displacement signal over that bin - this amplifies the event signals in a way that makes 
       them more easily visualized. 
   Next two weeks (June 21 - July 2)
     - Laser particle counter: Continued data analysis of 6-channel data with both 1 Hz and more sporadic wire sweeping events. Vendor will return on July 1 with software updates and for discussion on issues that have arisen during data analysis, e.g. unphysical magnitudes of displacement signal for one channel only, ways to improve the internal algorithm used for calculation of the displacement signal, and others. Will give update on LPC status at biweekly PIT meeting. Discussions with Detector Group on methods for well-defined and well-controlled wire/particle event generation.
     - Looking into PD info (daily meetings, existing summaries) to better understand PD responsibilities for a possible stint as PD.

Andrew Hutton 

   Previous two weeks (June 7 - June 18) 
     - Isotopes: we will start preparing our closeout report, and decide whether it is worth our time to prepare a response to the FOA if we don’t have the support of the lab.               
     - ERL Panel: this activity will continue unabated as we start working towards the Roadmap itself and interacting with the various European scientific committees.      
     - ERL sub-panel: we held our kick-off meeting on June 9 with all the members present.  We agreed on the path forward and our first “interview” with Vladimir Litvinenko and Thomas Roser will be around June 16.  In the meantime, I am collecting questions from the sub-Panel members to be transmitted to the authors.  The sup-Panel members are: Chris Adolphsen (SLAC, Reinhard Brinkmann (DESY), Oliver Brüning (CERN), Andrew Hutton (Jefferson Lab) - Chairman’ Sergei Nagaitsev (Fermilab), Max Klein (Liverpool), Peter Williams (STFC), Akira Yamamoto (KEK), Kaoru Yokoya (KEK), and Frank Zimmermann (CERN). We held a second meeting to hear a presentation by Thomas Roser and Vladimir Litvinenko of CERC, initiating an ebullition of emails and comments.

Loida should have made some progress on her project, she is already collecting up information she will need as input. 

     - ALCC:attended a meeting June 10 and presented the ERL sub-Panel.  The group is excited by the possibilities and scared of the Telnov proposal derailing the ILC.  Lots of discussion!
     - AccApp'21: I got active, drafted the letter explaining the mixed in person/remote conditions and invited four speakers.  Two accepted, one declined (I need a replacement) and one I haven’t heard back from.              
   Next two weeks (June 7 - June 18)  
     - Isotopes: I have been told not to submit a proposal that involves irradiations at LERF until he talks with the DOE.  At this time, I am working with my UVA collaborators to craft a proposal where they buy copper 67 and carry out all of the radiochemistry.  I still need to close out the current grant, after which, I do not see how I can l can keep our team together, which will make  it difficult for Jefferson Lab to get back into isotopes.  Sad! 
     - On the other hand, Loida is doing really well with her program to search for new radioisotope production pathways. She has submitted an Abstract to AccApp’2021 and I have contacted the Program Chair regarding student funding for her to attend in person.     
     - ERL Panel:  The ERL Panel is getting more active again; I will be presenting the present status to the Particle Physics community on July 9 (haven’t received the info yet).  
     - I have a PERLE Collaboration Board meeting on Friday, June 25.  We are informed that the CNRS have signed the ICRADA and sent it via DHL to Jefferson Lab, but we haven’t seen it yet.  All the other collaborators have signed the Collaboration Agreement except for BINP.  Emails to the BINP representative went unanswered, so I contacted the BINP Lab Director and he immediately agreed to sign it and appointed a new representative.  Our participation will be more difficult with the departure of Frank Marhauser.  
     - Next week, I hope to have the last meeting on the CERC and prepare my ERL talk - when I know the audience!
