PSB user = LHCINDIV
PS user = LHCINDIV

Contact People: A. Ulsrød, S. Gilardoni, A. Lachaize

Additional remarks:

MDusx is the MD user with priority
MDusx is the MD user in "spare" (i.e. replacing MDusx when not available, or called in when second MD cycle available)
^** Wednesday 22/08 is a full day of floating MD (Wed 08:00 - Thurs 08h00), in which MDs have priority on physics

PSB MDs

Monday 20/08

MD title: Transverse emittance measurements with lower longitudinal emittances
Beam conditions: h9-type beam, start with Ring 3

PSB user = Clone of LHC_lowemit_H9_A on MD4

Contact People: B. Mikulec, A. Findlay

Additional remarks: The goal is to vary the intensity of the LHC_lowemit_H9 user, keeping the longitudinal emittance constant at the value needed by the PS (~0.7eVs) and measure the corresponding transverse emittances. Compare then with the line at 1.3eVs
