Week 33 - Parallel MD

From this week onwards an LHC ion cycle will be required in the PS for the PS start-up with Early LHC beam

Monday 13/08 (08:00 - 18:00) - PS-SPS transfer optimization (capture / flat-bottom losses)

Beam conditions: SPS user = LHC25 - PS users = LHC25A&B

#injections = 1(72 bunches) - Extraction from the PS w/o QKE58

N_b = 1.3 x 10¹¹ p/b

Transverse emittances (e^* < 3 mm)

Longitudinal emittance: e_L^* = 0.35 eV.s

Contact person: E. Shaposhnikova

Tuesday 14/08 (08:00 - 18:00) - Measurement of the SPS longitudinal impedance

Beam conditions: SPS user = MD1 - PS users = MD4

#bunches = 1

N_b = 1.3 x 10¹¹ p/b (i.e. nominal intensity, possibility to decrease it)

Transverse emittances: e^* ~ 1 mm

Longitudinal emittance: e_L^* ~ 0.2 eV.s - to be specified - no bunch rotation.

Contact person: E. Shaposhnikova

Wednesday 15/08 -  Friday 17/08 (08:00 - 18:00) - Setting-up of an LHC pilot cycle in parallel to physics

Beam conditions: SPS user = MD1, PS users LHCPILOT, TSTLHC

Contact person: K. Cornelis
