Title: Message

Hi,

what I have learned now is that UCN will run with 1% duty cycle using the full beam kicked ecery 6-8 min. for about 7 seconds.

This will seriously disturb our ALC experiments.

I will ask for the delivery of an 'kicker announcement signal' 10 seconds before kicking in order to stop our DAQ and start a WAIT gate.

Are there any (similar or additional) requirements from MuCAP or MuLAN?

regards

robert
