Presentation transcript:

Sat 15/10 New record bunch population profiting of the scrubbing period on Friday. Nb~1.42x1011p/bunch  110 MJ at 3.5 TeV. Filling slowed down by ZS sparking in the SPS Tune feedback (VB2) switched off a few times during ramp-squeeze 09:30 Stable beams #2216, 3.3x1033 cm-2s-1. Emittances in collision ~2.5 mm.

Sat 15/10 Dips in lifetime but no abort gap population changes during that period or just before. No correlation with BLM signals in LSS3 or LSS7, beam size variations or BBQ signals  Real?

Vacuum

Vacuum at TDI Vacuum pressure increase at TDI at point 2 and point 8  Too high background for ALICE for some hours

20:45 Trip of RQT12.R5B2. End of fill #2216. 92.5 pb-1 in ~11h Not able to reset interlock on TDI position in point 2: As requested by Brennan and Alessandro, I changed by ~50 um the inner thresholds for the downstream gap of the TDI.4L2. This change was proposed to reduce the risk of interlocks triggered by electromagnetic noise on the TDI (Stefano)

02:55 Beams dumped by RF (HOM temperature): 14 pb-1 in ~1h Filling #2217: new filling scheme with main-satellite collisions in ALICE  1% more collisions to ATLAS/CMS and 2% more to LHCB North area stopped during filling with high intensity to avoid ZS sparks in the SPS 01:46 STABLE BEAMS #2217: 3.44x1033 cm-2s-1 with 1.4x1011 p/b (3.5x1033 cm-2s-1 seen during the adjust phase) 02:55 Beams dumped by RF (HOM temperature): 14 pb-1 in ~1h

05:30 back in physics (2:35 h turnaround – some delay to due to temperature on MKI8) STABLE BEAMS #2218 3.49x1033 cm-2s-1 with 1.4x1011 p/b 08:08 Beam dump due to power converter problem on RQT12.L5B2

Now we have more than 5fb-1 delivered to ATLAS and CMS ins table beams at 3.5 TeV

Pending issues A fault on the powerPC of the PAD in UJ16 prevents anyone going into UJ16 until after the access piquet makes an intervention. This intervention is not yet scheduled, and will wait until needed Several restarts of DIP proxy server

Plans Physics Work on the EDF electrical network (Verbois) tomorrow starting at 07:00 (should be transparent)
