Thursday 29/11/2012 in parallel with LHC operation

Consigne for SPS MDs

Put this virtual event from CBCM Timing new table in enabled on one cycle in the sequence.

SX.EA-SACQ-CTM (Exp Area-Start Acq) (200 ms)
SX.EA-EACQ-CTM (Exp Area-End Acq ) (4400 ms)

Thursday 07h00 - 17h00

Part I

Beam conditions: Intermediate beam (2 bunches spaced at 200ns)
Cycle: LHC_ION_12inj_FT1045_short_ext_2011_V1 (40bp)

LEIR user = NOMINAL
PS user = I_LHC_SU
SPS user = LHCION1

Contact People: T. Bohl, U. Wehrle, P. Baudrenghien, D. Manglunki

Additional remarks:

Part II

Supercycle: 3xSFT_ION_2Inj_Debunching_400GeV_2012_V1 (3x11 = 33bp)

Beam conditions: Intermediate beam (2 bunches spaced at 200ns)
Cycle: SFT_ION_2Inj_Debunching_400GeV_2012_V1 (11bp)

LEIR user = NOMINAL
PS user = I_LHC_SU

Contact People: T. Bohl, U. Wehrle, P. Baudrenghien, D. Manglunki

Additional remarks:

Part III

Supercycle: LHC_12inj_200ns__Q20_2012x_V1 + 10 ZERO + CNGS (46bp)

MD title: Set up of 200ns proton beam for p-Pb run      
Beam conditions: 200ns beam, 12 injections  
Cycle: LHC_12inj_200ns__Q20_2012x_V1 (31bp)

PSB user = LHC4RINGPROBE (MD5)
PS user = LHC200#2b_2bp (LHC_MD)
SPS user = LHC1
RF MMI target = LHCMD1

Contact People: H. Bartosik, D. Manglunki

Additional remarks: In order to minimize the load on figure of eight loop, when the SPS takes the 12 injections, there should be no other cycle than the 12 LHC_MD in the PS supercycle

PS MDs

MD title: PS injection optics
Beam conditions: TOF-type on cycle with QKE16 pulsing at inj timing

PSB user = Clone of TOF
PS user =

Contact People: W. Bartmann

Additional remarks: EPC changed the power converter HW limits, so we should be able to change the BTP line settings within the OP working set. Possibility of changing back to LHC settings within the usual cycling time is considered. This MD must take place while the SPS is taking ions exclusively, i.e. during the first part of the MD
