• Particle Accelerator Spin-Transparent Storage Rings for Beyond State of the Art Science
• Making Extreme High Vacuum (XHV) commonplace in accelerators
• A new polarized electron injector at CEBAF for parity violation
• PEPPo II : a GeV positron beam experiment at CEBAF

• Proposal status...

• (pending) - SLAC/KEK/JLAB HEP - Supports ILC PES and e+ target (Carlos, Andriy)
• (pending) - DOE ECA - PES with 1000x better vacuum (Mamun)
• (due 6/23) - LDRD PEPPo-II (Max)
• Jun'23 - CBE (Marcy)
• Sep'23 - Comtra (Riad)
• Sep'23 - HVINS (Carlos)
• Sep'23 - Robust (Joe)

• GTS

• High voltage insulator/plug tests ongoing
• TE011 cavity...?
• Eventually GTS could go to LERF

• CEBAF PES jobs...

• 200 kV gun - bake out, laser alignment, HV conditioning, gun kick/spot move, picks bias voltage
• 200 kV Wien - 20 Amp PS, E/B spin calibration, benchmark model
• Viewer/Harp/Kicker - fix short, add chopper valve/bake region, add new kicker magnet
• Hall A laser jobs - remove ML, install repaired 250/499 board
• KL jobs - install new amplifier for KL, test 499/32 setup, measure D pulse length, and laser size
• Moller jobs - install IA in Hall D path, measure IA rise time, review RTP setup and laser table electrical isolation with I&C

• UITF rest of this year...

• Now operates like GTS with an OSP, Jessica safety warden and Joe POC
• Focus will shift to using UITF to test photocathode lifetime/polarization (Greg, Aziz)

• Student updates
  • Sohaib/REU - spin tracking for CEBAF/Ce+BAF
  • Sami - returned to France, writing his thesis
  • Sunil - wants 15 Mhz bunches this summer to test his model of KL
  • Aziz
  • Greg
  • Kawser
