Charge to the EPU task force at the ALS


Taken from Ben Feinberg's e-mail to create the task force:

Elke Arenholz
Walter Barry
Alan Biocca
Mike Chin
Ken Fowler
Steve Marks
Laurent Nadolski
Alan Paterson
David Robin
Christoph Steier
Jonah Weber
Tony Young

As you are probably aware, we are having severe problems with the
electron beam when we change the polarization of the EPU.

We are experiencing strong beam size variation when switching between
left and right polarization. The effect seems to change as a function of
several things, and in spite of numerous accelerator physics
experiments, the reasons are unknown.

I have taken David Robin's advice, and am asking each of you to help as
a member of the EPU Task Force. The team includes members of the
Accelerator Physics, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and Control
Systems groups. Christoph Steier has agreed to lead this task force.

Thank you, in advance, for helping with this important issue.
