S. Assadi

J. Galambos noted that new people would be showing up in early Jan. (T. Pelaia, 
K. Danilova, and L. Kravchuk). 

Jie Wei noted that L. Young had done some LEBT simulations and sees emittance 
blowup during chopping. The linac ideogram maintainence at LANL will be shifted 
to E. Tanke. Also, the low energy scraping status was reviewed. The story is the 
same as before, MEBT scraping is preferred.

E. Tanke noted that the DTL corrector  power supplies bids were muchhigher than 
the cost estimate. The current requirement is being looked into.

G. Reese is working on a 10 MW SNS case. He is comparing the SCL vs warm linac 
error effects and finds the SCL to be more sensitive. This may be dure to the 
large number of cavities used in the European design.

D. Jeon is writing up the reference line stability requirement documentation.

The end-2end simulation is being prepared with mismatch. Diagnostic errors are 
also being included in the linac commisioning algorithm studies.

P. Chu is working on an interface to the correlator, and testing it.

The EPAC abstracts were reviewed. There are 8 from the AP group.
