The accomplishments this week have been significant. The staff have substantially increased their LFT construction skills and are much improved over the initial attempts. Fortunately, they came into this with some familiarity and practice and good attention to detail. Staff constructed all the LFT required for the deployment and we are using aldrin as the PRC. Both Cheikh and Makhfousse agreed that aldrin should not be present at Pont Gendarme. The locally built cages should work perfectly.
Hama paid a visit and was updated on the project's progress. The necessary supplies, notably helium, but also hexanes, nitrogen and glassware, are on site. The staff were easy to work with despite my inability to grasp French, and appear enthusiastic about the project. They put in considerable time (and patience) this week and this is not the only project they are working on. Their efforts are appreciated.
In summary: The lab is prepared and we are well positioned to complete the remaining work as scheduled.
