Bias Current Monitoring 4 P-Stop Shorts in one special incident October 1999 where PEP lost high amount of beam in BaBar and the beam dump came too late (reason unknown) July 2000: 6-9 PSS due to LER Q4R magnet trip October 2000: Increase of leakage currents correlated with magnet trips (no PSS strange..) In Layers 1 and 2 we see them immediately Please: Don t Do that too often!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! December 8th 2000 Carsten Hast PEP II Operation 41

Summary 1. PEP II operation is excellent Record hunts are sometimes scary 2. BaBar isn t doing bad either We only have one SVT and one DCH ( for the time being) Please be careful We are all looking forward to having another fun year with incredible good performances December 8th 2000 Carsten Hast PEP II Operation 50
