Week 41 - Parallel MD (Monday through Friday 11-15/10/2010, from 8h00 to 18h00)

N.B. The parallel SPS MDs take place all the time from 8:00 to 18:00, provided the LHC is in store or does not request beam. The MD cycle is removed from the supercycle during the LHC filling. MDs in the CPS complex can take place whenever there is free place in the supercycle

PSB:

Monday - Check and adjustment of the LHC25A+B beams to be used for the double batch transfer of the LHC50 to the PS

Beam conditions:  LHC25 beam with half nominal intensity and small transverse emittances (<1.5μm)

PSB user =   LHC25A+B

Contact Person: B. Mikulec, G. Rumolo

PS:

Monday - Friday - Set up of beams to be used by LHC (in order of priority and with 2) to be done only if there is a request):

1) Restore the LHC75 user to its original user with a 75ns beam

Beam conditions:  LHC75-type beam

PSB user =   LHC75 (restored to the 75ns beam)

PS user = LHC75

2) Set up the cycle for the double batch 50ns beam (with only one injection from the 4 PSB rings on h=1)

Beam conditions:  LHC50-type beam in the PS and LHC25 half intensity in the PSB

PSB user =   LHC25A

PS user = LHC25

Contact Person: S. Hancock, H. Damerau

Monday - Friday - TMCI at transition in the PS

Beam conditions:  TOF-like beam

PSB user =   TSTPS

PS user = MD3

Contact Person: S. Aumon

Monday - Friday - Coherent tune shift measurements

Beam conditions:  TOF-like beam

PSB user =   TSTPS

PS user = MD3

Contact Person: S. Aumon

SPS:

Monday -Tuesday - Acceleration of the high intensity single bunch in the SPS

Beam conditions and cycle: Single LHC-type bunch an LHCFAST_L7200_2009_V2  cycle

PSB user =   MDPSB (to be checked beforehand with the machine supervisor)

PS user = MDPS

SPS user = LHCFAST

RF MMI target = LHCMONO

Contact Person: B. Salvant, E. Shaposhnikova, T. Bohl

Wednesday - Friday - Studies with ions on a || 1 injection cycle

Beam conditions: early ion beam

LEIR user = EARLY

PS user = LHCION

SPS user = LHCION1

RF MMI target = LHCION

Contact Person: T. Bohl, P. Baudrenghien, D. Manglunki
