Week 35 - Parallel MD
Reminder 1: There should always be 1 cycle reserved for parallel studies in the PSB.
Reminder 2: Most of the time during the SPS ion commissioning (i.e. between week 33 and 38), the LHCION1 cycle will be added (during the day) to the SFTLONG + 4 CNGS1 cycles in the SPS. The corresponding ion cycle in the PS is LHCION. However, the cycle MDION should also be available in the PS to work on the nominal ion beam. J. Burnet agreed to increase the PS load from 5 to 5.4 MW to be able to have both LHCION and MDION in the PS (R. Steerenberg, 17/08/09).
Reminder 3: During the week (if / when possible) the PSB and the PS will continue to work on the production of LHC75 and LHC50 in 1 batch.
Monday 24/08 (08:00 - 18:00) to Tuesday 25/08 (08:00 - 18:00) -
SPS ion commissioning (setting-up in // of the early ion beam)Beam conditions
: SPS cycle = SFTLONG1 + 4 CNGS1 + LHCION1, PS user = MDPRO* and LEIR user = EARLYSPS user Timing = LHCION1 (LHCION2 is reserved for the dedicated MD)
Contact Person: D. Manglunki
* Reminder:
- MDION is reserved for the nominal beam in the PS,
- LHCION is reserved for the early beam in the PS (with the previous CZERO of the PS, i.e. 1670 ms),
- MDPRO is reserved for the early beam with the new CZERO of the PS, i.e. 1670 + 65 = 1735 ms.
