Week 31 - Floating SPS MD
Wednesday 3/8/2011 in parallel with LHC operation (24h)


Wednesday 08h00 - 18h00

Supercycle: fully dedicated MD

MD title:
High-bandwidth feedback studies
Beam conditions: Single bunch, nominal intensity 1.2e11 on a cycle with long flat bottom
Cycle: LHCMD_50ns_D_2011_V1 (18bp)


PSB user =  LHCINDIV
PS cycle = LHCINDIV
PS timing user = LHCINDIV
SPS user = LHCMD1
RF MMI target = MD1

 

Contact People: W. Höfle, SLAC visitors, BE/OP, BE/RF

Additional remarks: during this MD, an SPS access might be required, which has to be timed to take place while the LHC is in store and does not foresee to take beam for a few hours.

 

Wednesday 18h00 - 19h00

Supercycle: SFTPRO-like cycle + two (or more) CNGS

MD title:
Switch to the new supercycle with the MD version of SFTPRO
Beam conditions: low intensity SFTPRO-like beam (1 to 2e12 p), only one batch injection into the SPS
Cycle: SFT_LONG_L9690_2010_MD_V1

Contact People: BE/OP, BE/RF

Additional remarks: no RF gymnastics before the extraction. Voltage before extraction should be reduced as well to minimize the Dp/p during extraction and get max resolution for following dispersion measurement.

 

Wednesday 19h00 - Thursday 06h00

Supercycle: SFTPRO-like cycle + two (or more) CNGS

MD title:
TT20 steering tests and validation of simulations
Beam conditions: low intensity SFTPRO-like beam (1 to 2e12 p), only one batch injection into the SPS
Cycle: SFT_LONG_L9690_2010_MD_V1


PSB cycle = SFTPRO-MD (low intensity SFTPRO)
PSB timing user = MD4
PS cycle = SFTPRO_CT_150E10
PS timing user = MD3

SPS user =
SFTLONG1
RF MMI target = SFT-CT

Contact Person: O. Berrig, D. Manglunki

Additional remarks:

 

Thursday 06h00 - Thursday 07h00
