1. PHENIX Run8 Summary d+Au was fantastic! - x30 over Run3 baseline for future A+A new level of precision on intrinsic Cold Nuclear Matter physics now p+p is the weakest part of baseline p+p was disappointing polarization was very poor a strong p+p run with ample beam/polarization development is a must for the future PHENIX efficiency for recording useful luminosity up from 50% in past to 68% now (33% in ±30 cm) DAQ developments continue to push to higher event rates but tighter z-vertex requirements in the future will lower fraction of luminosity that is useful THANKYOU to CA for a great (d+Au) Run!! 5/29/20081PHENIX - MJL

5. North arm HV Repairs (bad channels in yellow): Almost All of North Arm Now Good except for one station-2 section (N222-6) [N182-6 is actually ok even though it shows disabled (yellow) here] problems fixed by removing AC coupling capacitors for (descoped) anode readout end of 2008 Run Now

6. South Muon arm HV partially fixed – will finish in next shutdown end of 2008 Run Now
