HiRadMat project Very challenging !!! Very challenging !!! Master schedule Very challenging !!! Very challenging !!! I. Efthymiopoulos 16PT, July 8,2010

HiRadMat project Mike Lamont’s talk @ IEFC June 25th 2011 LHC schedule Mike Lamont’s talk @ IEFC June 25th Possible access to BA7 until week 7(8)? Remain with present schedule until week-6 (end of January) Consider any additional week as contingency I. Efthymiopoulos 16PT, July 8,2010

Preparation & Assembly area HiRadMat Project Irradiation cycles for tests Life cycle of a test setup: Prepare 1(2) test setups, each on is platform in the lab or assembly area Move them to the irradiation area – do the irradiations ; swap between the two remotely (either base platform movement or move the equipment/jaws) Move them to the cool-down area Recuperate them later for inspection/analysis in the lab A Preparation & Assembly area B C Irradiation area (2 stands) Cool-down area I.

HiRadMat – Operations Beam conditions HiRadMat uses the existing SPS extraction to TI2/LHC i.e. can receive all beams (already) available and prepared for LHC from pilot to full intensity Beam parameters to vary for the experiments: Bunch intensity: [5×109(pilot) ÷ 1.1(1.7) ×1011] ppb Number of bunches : [1 (pilot) ÷ 288 (bunch trains)] Timing between bunches or bunch trains: [SPS filling modes possibilities] Beam focusing at the experiment : [0.25 ÷ 4.0 ] mm2 HiRadMat beam control will use the existing tools of SPS and TI2 line Minor modifications to add the new TT66 line equipment Each beam pulse will be on request : single (next sc) or multiple (next N sc) Beam interlock: During extraction to TI2/LHC access to BA7 will be prohibited (as today) During extraction to TI2/HRM access to BA7 will be prohibited new beam dump in TI2 to allow access to LHC while HRM receives beam during tests/beam setup the beam is dumped in the HRM dump (ex. T9 target) – experiments retracted I. Efthymiopoulos 16PT, July 8,2010

HRM – Operations Beam time Preparation – setting up: Data - taking: Use an HRM-short cycle equivalent to the present LHC cycle (440 GeV instead of 450 GeV) Can be added in the SPS super cycle, runs in // to FT and CNGS Extract few low intensity pulses to verify beam optics and test setup alignment Data - taking: Low-med intensity: beam pulses up to 72 bunches can be done using the HRM-short cycle High-intensity : beam pulses >72 bunches require a dedicated HRM-long cycle (~20 sec) would be a similar configuration as LHC filling could run in // to FT or CNGS (such to maintain a total super-cycle length <50 sec) Up to 100 high-intensity pulses per experiment – 10 experiments/year Typical user: 10 pulses × 10 times within 4 hours  40 hours/year of high-intensity running The dedicated running of SPS for HiRadMat will be included in the yearly schedule Deadline for beam requests by September 1st , YYYY for the operation of the SPS year YYYY+1 Prepare and install the experiments during the winter shutdown Swap experiments (remotely) during LHC machine stops Document for the management in preparation…. (September RB?) Details for the operations and contact/handling of the users still to clarify… I. Efthymiopoulos 16PT, July 8,2010

HiRadMat Operations Feedback from discussions: Machine Studies Working Group – MSWG Feedback from discussions: User selection and beam pulse list must be discussed with experts The time required to setup the machines (PS & SPS) to the different configurations must be included in the yearly schedule NOT in the MD budget The operation mode for HiRadMat should be described in a document to be circulated and apporved Should be submitted to the RB in September to allow including HiRadMat in the 2011 schedule User Selection Panel to create  next PT meeting I.
