1. Technical news:

· FE7 was put into place on Monday and geometrically aligned. Work on vacuum and electrical connections is ongoing.

· The low-energy part of REX should be under vacuum mid-March. RF work is ongoing. One REX magnet has been sent for refurbishment. REX-trap new software is being tested. It is expected that REX will be ready to operate online at the beginning of June.

· The electrical noise in the new pA-meters, caused by the repeler voltage, has been addressed. New interface for displaying the Faraday-cup readouts is under preparation.

· HRS.FC690, CD0.FC90 and RC3.FC90 require a repair.

· Work on the re-organizing of the laser barrack and the installation of the HRS laser beam path is on-going.

· Demineralized water is back. Some water leaks have been found near the BTY line. Repairs are taking place.

· HRS RILIS windows were exchanged.

· After changing the oil of the ASTEC power supplies they are not yet operational. One has a broken capacitor, the other sparks inside the container. Repairs are taking place.

· The control room will be rearranged.

· Erwin is preparing a list for the technical work to be done in 2013. Any relevant requests should be communicated to him.

2. Safety

· All safety files for fixed experiments running this year were received by Magda and forwarded to the PH-safety team.

· The ALARA procedure for the annual exchange of the GLM and GHM deflector plates has been sent out for approval.

3. A.O.B.

· 2011 schedule: 650 INTC shifts and 50 shifts for LOIs+TISD have been requested. Out of these 700 shifts, 375 shifts require RILIS (3000 hours), 310 shifts require REX and 100 are for solid-state- and bio-physics. The limitations concerning RILIS and UC/ThC targets will be taken into account when scheduling the 480 available shifts.

· The research board approved all recommendations by the February 2011 INTC.

· Consider the PROCONconference.

· Two students from Heidelberg are joining ISOLTRAP, Michael (PhD) and Malte (internship) for 3 months and 7 weeks, respectively.

· The summer-student selection process has begun.
