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)

* Monday (24h) and Thursday (10h from 7:00 to 17:00) are dedicated MD days. MD users have priority.
** Tuesday is Injector Technical Stop (12h)
*** Wednesday the PS MD cycles will be needed to 1) create in the PS the magnetic fields necessary for the measurements of stray field compensation in the PSB; 2) change the extraction bumps for the SPS parallel MDs of beam quality
