FROM THE DIRECTOR
CHESS has been a very busy place during the April down period. The A2 upgrade was completed, giving the A2 station both "white" and "blue" beam capabilities. Users are encouraged to imagine new experiments using these intense beams. Contact Jacob Ruff for detailed information and discussions. Also during the April down, the ERL photoinjector was moved from L0 to the L0 East experimental area to test the main linac cryomodule (MLC) later this year. See the article this month about the adventure moving such a large MLC to Wilson lab. We hope that eventually an ERL return loop will be constructed in this space. An important byproduct of the move was creating additional space for an F-line expansion which will be completed in the summer of 2016. Details will be covered at next month's users' meeting. Hope to see you all there.
