Week 38 - Parallel MD

Reminder 1: There should always be 1 cycle reserved for parallel MDs in the PSB. The two main studies will focus on (1) stability issues on ring 4, and (2) LHC beams production in the LINAC4 era.

Reminder 2: During the week (when possible) the PS will continue to work on the Matrix measurements with the 5-CM PFWs.

Wednesday 17/09 and Thursday 18/09 (08:00 - 18:00) - Synchronization studies on TSTLHC75 in the PS

Friday 19/09 (08:00 - 18:00) - BBLR in the SPS => Cancelled, as acceleration on MD1 is not compatible with LHCFAST (same RF HW used)*

Beam conditions: SPS user = MD1 (supercycle = SFT_LONG-3CNGS-LHCFAST-MD37_V1), PS user = TSTLHC25 and PSB user = LHC25A

#bunches = 12

N_b » 0.2 x 10¹¹ p/b (asked the PSB to load the archive with this lower intensity and the PS to check the beam in PS). Possibility to ask the PSB to increase the intensity.

Transverse emittances: e^* £ 3 mm

Longitudinal emittance: e_L^* = 0.35 eV.s

* Still to be discussed when this issue can be solved
