Saturday 24 March 2012

Saturday 06:30 Access interlock (from door between UJ83 and LHCb cavern US85) Access needed for fixing the access system 12:30 Machine closed again 12:30 Bridge A cooling fault on RB.A67 Access needed 15:15 machine closed – precycling 17:00 450 GeV loss maps injecting 4 nominal bunches / beam First using ADT (H + V) (radial modulation left ON)) Then H + V + off-energy (RF freq shifted by +500Hz ) using ‘old’ resonance method for comparison 19:00 injecting new bunches (ADT loss maps, radial modulation off) 19:50 Asynch dump test at injection with injection protection out (RF off).  Losses at dump region as expected, and loss ratio (TCT/TCDQ) are at 5e-6 (b1) and 5e-4 (b2). OK to proceed

450 GeV loss maps Blow up individual bunches with ADT

450 GeV loss maps, cont. Classical loss map (tune change) with the remaining intensities (1 full nominal bunch per beam and the weak ones) Loss maps look good, OK to proceed, detailed analysis will be done

Ramp with nominal bunch 20:30 start new fill for first ramp-up with one nominal bunch / beam B1 H already at injection (OFB on) – pattern in the orbit building up

Ramp with nominal bunch, cont. 22:10 start first ramp with nominal bunches with tight collimator settings (with chirp and long. blow up ON)

Ramp with nominal bunch, cont. Lifetime is getting better after correcting the orbit (pattern introduced by feed-back?)

Collimation set-up at 4 TeV flat top 22:30 start set-up – 23:00 beam dump Summary (Gianluca,Stefano): The automatic collimator alignment application was tested at 4 TeV, starting from end of ramp tight settings. The fast acquisition of the BLM data (12.5 Hz) was used, moving the collimator jaws with a 5um step size at 8Hz. The two horizontal primary collimators of B1 and B2 were aligned automatically, and this was followed by a parallel movement of all horizontal collimators towards the beam When multiple collimators stop moving due to cross-talk effects in the BLM signal, the application automatically moved each of the stopped collimators in sequence until the collimator jaw that was at the beam was determined. The parallel alignment was executed for 20 minutes, during which ~15 collimators were coarsely aligned to the beam. The beam was dumped after the automatically calculated loss threshold was set too high (~3E-4). The maximum limit on the threshold will now be set to 5E-5.

Saturday Night 24:00 injecting for FIDEL magnet decay measurements with probe beam – 3:00 dump Long. Blow-up OFF, modulation ON for chroma measurement Again lifetime low during the ramp

Saturday Night, cont. 4:40 – 5:50 second measurement ramp for FIDEL 6:00 preparing for 450 GeV off momentum loss maps +500Hz -500Hz

Others Feed forward QH/QV from previous night's bare ramp - beam 1 only Landau damping octupoles trimmed up to last year's level at end of ramp FBCT fixed display works again after release of a new version lifetime dips with tight collimators QFB b2v starts turning off at the end of the ramp Q variation at start of ramp could be handled by QFB in these two iterations

Access / outstanding FMCM on RD34 in 7 still not ok. Will prevent us from taking up more than 3 nominals to 4 TeV. the BPMSW.1L5 is now OK in the V plane, but has the incorrect sign in the H plane “un problème sur le circuit RCBV25.R4B1. Vous risquez de perdre rapidement ce circuit, (pb Alim Aux)” TCDQ angular alignment to be revisited BPMD giving bad reading lost RCD/RCO.A34B1 five time in 4 days, PC problem? B1 H orbit ‘features’ – feed backs ADT low-up in H – FESA class mode not set correctly Energy fb stayed on after beam dump (confirmed on BI-QP fixed display)

TIME WHAT CONTACT Sat 16:00 – 23:00 Loss maps at 450 GeV with ADT. Asynch dump test. Ramp 1 nominal for the first time – orbit issues. 1 nominal bunch to 4 TeV and Collimation set-up at flat top. Stefano/Ralph Sat 23:00 – 09:00 FIDEL measurements at 450 GeV; see instructions from Ezio sent by EBH OP team Sun 09:00 – 15:00 Sort out orbit(feedback) on the ramp. Repeat ramps if possible to check for reproducibility. Jorg/Ralph S. Sun 15:00 – 23:00 Injection protection set-up Jan/Chiara Su 23:00 – Mo 8:00 Tbd. Mo  8:00 – 10:00 Coupling checks at injection B2 Rogelio Mo  10:00 Put in coarse TCT settings 2-3 nominal at flat top and through the squeeze (after collimator set-up). need lumi data from all 4 experiments Stefano Joerg TCDQ angular alignment Collimation set-up at collision Injection protection Loss map and async. dump at collision Collimation set-up at squeeze Loss map and async. dump at squeeze
