    • Updated Run Plan :
      • Starting Jan. 17 + 20 cryo week
      • likely overnight collisions around 01/30
      • 1.5 weeks after that for physics
      • possible physics starts at around 02/10
      • decided at the schedule meeting: 4 weeks pp200 start;
      • followed by pp500; PHENIX asked for 5 weeks and STAR 7 weeks;
      • Likely need to decide what to do after 4-5 weeks into pp500;
