General Info and Current News:

1) Parallel MDs in all machines take place every week day during the working hours (8:00 - 18:00). There is
always one available MD cycle in PSB, PS and SPS.
2) During dedicated MDs, usually on Wednesdays (6:00 - 18:00), MD users have priority over physics users. When
LHC is operating, dedicated MDs take place in parallel to LHC operation and are stopped when LHC needs to
refill. No physics is guaranteed during the MD time, but beam will be provided to PSB/PS physics users on a best
effort basis.
3) MDs will begin in: Week 26 (Monday, June 23rd) for the PSB and Week 29 (Monday, July 14th) in the PS.
4) SPS MDs (parallel and Wednesday's dedicated) will then start from Week 41 onwards
5) Special Injector MD seminar on "Using MATLAB to script your MDs" by G. Sterbini on 26/05/2014 in Room
6-2-004. Slides can be downloaded here.

NEW!

6) The new injector schedule (v1.7) is available now. The scrubbing run in Week 39 has been canceled. It reminas
confirmed in Week 45. Two addiitional scrubbing days are scheduled before the EYTS (Week 50)
