Vitaliy,
Look, all of us want the experiment to run well. While frustration with
problems that we've had is understandable, especially if you're
consistently spending nights here trying to get thesis data, posting
cynical profanity-laced messages to the log book and e-mail list is
counterproductive. I think everyone realizes the importance of getting as
much quality data as possible while the beam is available and the present
transmitter problem underscores that. The fact is that aside from last
night, the accelerator has been running well since we came back from the
shutdown. The data that have been taken on deuterium look encouraging.
Devoting a few hours of beam time to needed calibrations and consistency
checks before running for days and weeks on end can go a long way. Keep
your head up.
