Description

During the 2008 startup, the pbar production efficiency was unusually low. Despite several tuning attempts during the run, peak values such as observed in 2007 were never reached and typical beam intensities stayed below numbers of previous years. Here we will discuss the possible causes, what was done in 2008 and what could be done during this years startup in order to improve AD performance.
