Week 42 - Parallel MD

 

Reminder 1: There should always be 1 cycle reserved for parallel studies in the PSB and PS.

Reminder 2: During the whole week, desorption studies on cryogenic targets will take place in the LINAC3 (E. Mahner).

Reminder 3: Start a detailed campaign of measurements of transverse beam profiles in the SPS with all the BWS available (416, 519, 521 and 414V).

 

Monday 12/10 (14:00) to Tuesday 13/10 (12:00) - Beam for LHCb tests

Beam conditions: SPS cycle = LHCFAST2, PS user = LHCPROBE (or TSTLHC25) and PSB user = LHCPROBE (or LHC25A)

- LHCPROBE => Nb = 2E9 p/b (can be increased up to 5E9 p/b by a simple timing in the PS)

- LHC25A => Only 1 ring in the PSB as only 12 bunches will be needed in the SPS, and at ~ 1/10 of the nominal intensity, as ~ 1E10 p/b will be needed in the SPS

Contact Person: R. Giachino and J. Wenninger

 

Thursday 15/10 and Friday 16/10 (08:00 - 18:00)

Preparation in the SPS for the sector test at the end of week 43

Beam conditions: SPS cycle = LHCFAST2, PS user = LHCPROBE and PSB user = LHCPROBE

Contact Person: V. Kain

Instability studies at PS transition

Beam conditions: PS user = MD3 and PSB user = TSTPS (ring 2)

Contact Person: S. Aumon
