Week 24 - Parallel MD (starting on Monday 14/06/2010 and ending on 18/06/2010)

Monday 14/06 (08:00) to Friday 18/06 (18:00), except during the floating MD - Preparation of the 150 ns bunch spacing beam (with 12 bunches) in the SPS. This beam was prepared last week in the PSB/PS and 2/3 of the nominal intensity (with 12 bunches at ejection) was reached. Above this intensity it degrades due to coupled-bunch instabilities. Note that according to Massimiliano Ferro-Luzzi (discussion on 11/06/10), this beam becomes interesting if we can send more than 8E10 p/b to the LHC (it seems that we are close to this limit).

Beam conditions:

- User in the PSB = LHC75, user in the PS = LHC75 and user in the SPS = LHCFAST (to be used when the LHC is not taking beam).
