Thursday 07h00 - Thursday 14h00

PS MD title: Tests for a slow extraction of protons at 2.12 GeV/c from the PS to the East Area
Beam conditions: EAST-type beam
Cycle:

PSB user =   EASTA
PS user = EASTA
SPS user =
RF MMI target =

 
Contact Person
: O. Hans, S. Gilardoni, R. Steerenberg

Additional remarks: Beam to the East area will have to be stopped during this MD, because special settings of the extraction elements are required, which are not PPM
