Wednesday 17th August Rocky, short fills, initial luminosities are good LHCb polarity change to negative seems ok 18/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting

Fills after cryo recovery Tue: 23:55 Fill #2028, Stable beams, initial lumi 1.9e33. Wed: 02:59 Fill #2028 dumped, RF interlock, int. lumi 19 pb-1. 05:41 Fill #2029 Stable beams, initial lumi 2.1e33. 09:48 Fill #2029 dumped, ATLAS beam loss after UFO near triplet R1. Int. lumi 26 pb-1. Change LHCb polarity. 13:59 Fill #2030 Stable beams, initial lumi 2.2e33. 15:37 Fill #2030 dumped, RQX.L5 tripped, could be SEU. Int. lumi 12 pb-1. 22:12 Fill #2031, Stable beams, initial lumi 2.1e33 23:04 Fill #2031 dumped, Electrical glitch, FMCM Int. lumi 6.1 pb-1 Thu: 01:10 Fill # 2032, Stable beams, initial lumi 2.4e33 (!) bunch intensities of 1.27e11p 06:23 Fill #2032 dumped, Electrical glitch, FMCM Int. lumi 36 pb-1 08:04 another electrical glitch during filling 18/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting

BLM long running sums Fill #2029 BLM Reaching 35 % now, in TCTVB.4R8 Seen also before cryo stop Miguel is suspecting (HOM) heating of the TDI causing degraded vacuum R8 and L2…. Fill #2032 Overnight: we had a lot of activity in P2: losses on the TCTs reached 80% of the dump thresholds 18/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting

ATLAS Beam Abort 17-08-2011 On 17.8. at approximately 9:48 am the ATLAS BLM aborted the beam (fill 2029). Both BLM sides showed a significant peak in activity in Average Max Values RS0 (40µs running sum). Also ATLAS BCM saw large signal (totally independent detector). Both signals are compatible with an UFO close to ATLAS (beam 1) A-side: 2x abort threshold (thr=230) BLM A-side 40µs running sum during the whole fill 2029 BCM high gain channel bin-width = 5µs Right: BCM signal from the post mortem buffer. Big signal also seen in ATLAS BCM. Also there the beam abort condition was reached, but ATLAS BCM is masked in the abort logic. BCM low gain channel bin-width = 5µs

LHCb polarity LHCb polarity changed to negative Vacuum ok Background ok Only slightly reduced B1 life time, but also seen on other fills before 18/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting

Dump fill #2030 Dump Classification: Power converter fault(s) Operator / Comment: ralemany / The current measurement for RQX.L5 was stuck for some time and this provoked a fault in the FGC. Comment from Hugues: To reduce the noise at the output of the IA and IB digital filters, these filter are reset every day. Normally, this reset is transparent for the beam operation. Today it was not the case for RQX.L5 and the converter tripped by I_MEAS error. RQX.L5 tripped again during the precycle 18/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting

Outstanding TOTEM & ALFA moving in during stable beams Totem: earliest on Monday Alpha: on demand, allowed after 6h of stable beams ‘End of fill’ tight collimators After about 10 h of stable beams and during day time In Adjust Transverse damper set-up at injection for higher bunch intensities Need at least 1.3e11 p+ bunches from SPS Daniel foresees about 2 h – foreseen for next week 16/08/2011 LHC 8:30 meeting
