RF cogging / BLM thresholds LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013 First fills of the week beams dumped on BLM losses 9L7.B2 at moment of frequency change to bring proton and ions beams on the same RF frequency. BLM thresholds pushed up at quads 7, 9, 11 R&L at 7 Shower from primary collimator B2

… source of the problem: understood Protons and ions injected at their central frequency Moving frequencies to ‘common’ mean value at 4 TeV, so later on one can make collisions This moving of the frequencies is done in steps command "lock both frequencies on beam 1" was executed while the frequency trim was still on going. A pause was added and no overshoot anymore LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013 Orbit evolution during cogging and re-phasing. Overshoot in mean orbit

BPMS interlock BPMSs are interlocked BPMs at point 6 which check that the orbit is such that the dumped beam will pass through the dump channel  Interlock set at +/- 3 mm 4 BPMSs for each beam at either side of IP6 For low (ion) intensity the signals become noisy and bunches are seen outside the window  Happens between 3 – 4 e9 charges for the ion beam Interlock per ‘window’  100 turn window increased count 70 -> 500 -> 2000 false counts on one BPMS  After this change this specific BPMS did not trigger anymore but the next one did… LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013

Roman Pots – moved in Modified sequence for moving in the pots tested with the specialist: OK Since then both TOTEM and ALFA moved in at the beginning of the fill by the operation crew  Vertical only at 13   Proton side only  Loss maps made with pots in No problems so far LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013

Longitudinal blow-up at injection LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013 At injection, to reduce increase of transverse emittance 1.4 ns target Worked after some testing during injection steering Observables  Initial lumi: does not seem to be match larger. Not really gained.  BSRT / BGI: needs further analysis, no absolute calibration

ALICE UFO (?) / BPMS / Polarity reversal LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013

ALICE polarity change: last night ALICE spectrometer polarity change. External crossing angle changes in collision: needs set-up of collimators at IP2 (TCTs). First cycle:  No beam: change polarity, change target external Xing in physics.  Inject. Correct H orbit by hand, incorporate into ramp GRADUAL_OUT (~almost like 1/E).  Run through the cycle with a few bunches up to end of squeeze. Orbit FB will take care of any residual error up to end of squeeze.  3 minute test on FT to calibrate the BPM scale with RF frequency trims (for energy calibration).  Run collision BP, TCTs in IR2 to be handled separately, I recommend opening the TCPs temporarily to 6 sigma to avoid losses from the orbit change. The H orbit in physics will require a correction. Find collisions in IR2 (if needed). Incorporate back orbit trims (! rule).  Align the TCTs around the new orbit in IR2. Perform loss maps etc Offline:  Prepare new TCT functions for IR2 (collision BP).  Update all orbit and COD interlocks (SIS+Kajetan).  Feed-forward orbit RT trims (if worthwhile). Second cycle:  Validation of corrections and TCT functions. Test on FT. LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013 Jorg and collimation team

Last Night 20:10 Operator dump 22:47 Ramp for collimator set-up, orbit, lumi, TCTs  Took 15 mins to align 4 IP2 TCTs 01:30 Loss maps  Full set of betatron loss maps performed (preliminary analysis: all OK), as well as negative off-momentum loss map 02:39 Beams dumped by negative off-momentum loss maps 03:33 Lost RB.A12 power converter fault 04:15 Cycling 05:25 Water circuit problem affects the booster, no protons 07:23 Beam back 07:57 Ramp started Now  Another low intensity ramp for IP2 collimator validation and positive off momentum loss map  Followed by preparation for VdM scans LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013

The Plan Shorter term plan  Polarity change – done  Verification fill with low intensity and loss map: on now  V/d Meer scans = today  Ion source refill – Wednesday  pPb to Pbp change – about Thursday / Friday Between ion source refill and quench tests in 2 weeks:  pPb physics ! Possibly pp intermediate energy run  ADT set-up for quench test preparation: 4 – 6 hours  BSRT tests at 450 GeV few hours with few trains of 1.4e11 bunches In parallel dump B1 at injection with high intensity trains for pick-up test  Real time squeeze test (beta* levelling) – 4 hours  Longitudinal damper tests, at injection, 1 beam only, 2 – 4 hours Mon 11 th Feb: quench tests for 48 hours Bye-bye-beam LHC 8:30 meeting 28/01/2013
