Scrubbing run in the SPS

Regular meetings will be held in the PCR Conference room (874-1-007) every morning at 09:00 during the scrubbing run.

The aim of the meeting is to review the machine performance and experiments of the previous day and define the programme of the day.

 

 

Wednesday 09/06 (08:00 - 18:00)

Setting-up of Injection and Capture of the 75 ns LHC beam

COLDEX IN (access form 08:00 to 09:00 during SC change)

Beam conditions: MDSPS in SPS on SC 604 (43.2 s long)

#batches = 1 - 4

Ibunch = close to 1.3 x 1011 p/bunch

Minimum transverse emittance (in any case e* < 3 mm)

Longitudinal emittance: eL* = 0.35 eV.s.
