10mm-5 Lens-transformer assembly is complete and ready for testing
10mm-3 Lens-transformer assembly has a new stripline and is the spare
Stripline failure early March
Studies and Tuning • Debuncher Momentum Cooling Systems
– Gain Ramps – determined no affect for 2.2sec cycle– Double Notch Filter
• Not achieving desired notch depth• Thinking about new notch filter equalizer
– Individual band equalizers - designed first; await chance to install• Accumulator Stacktail System
– Delta Kicker to compensate for transverse heating by system• Some quick gains seen• “Centering” of 2 kicker tanks achieved the same effect; need to do all 10• May still get benefit with new equalizers
• Accumulator Transverse Cooling Systems– Individual band equalizers – first should be ready soon
• AP2/Debuncher Optics– More circulating beam by moving Debuncher tunes
• Decreases Debuncher cooling effectiveness – reverted to design tunes– More beam into Debuncher with some AP2 optics changes - ongoing
• Mechanics of transfers out of Accumulator– Rapid transfers covered last All Experimenters’ Meeting

Summary• The Antiproton Source is running well
• Outlook is promising
• Recent Records– 313.58mA in Accumulator– 26.09mA in 1 hour– 3065.6mA in 1 week (Mon-Mon 00:00)
