Presentation transcript:

Mon 8/8 – Tue 9/8 Stable beams #2009 10:20 Damper VB1 and HB2 trip  Vacuum control crate for the gauges in the damper area needed reset  OK S12: lost temperature reading of heating of current leads of RQ8_R1B1/B2. But the current leads are properly cooled  reset during ramp-down (SEU?) 18:10 Beam dumped, S81 trip. Integrated luminosity ~76 pb-1. Investigations on Sector 81 trip (Quadrupole loop) + reset of a BLM crate delaying refilling 23:30 STABLE BEAMS#2010. Initial luminosity 2.05x1033

Sector 81 trip From the QPS team (Knud, Mike): Conclusion: the loop of RQD.A81 opened at 18:05:46.955. This was not due to the EE switches, not due to (board A of the) nQPS, not due to the lead protection and not due to the (board A of the) oQPS (since no PM file was created). What caused the breaking of the loop then? We still do not know. It could be the board B of a QPS board. Action: leave things to board A for now. Move the whole sector to board B as soon as convenient.

Sector 81 trip

Stable Beams #2010 Slightly higher bunch population (1.26x1011 p). No significant increase in luminosity

Stable Beams #2010 Lower lifetime B1 Longer bunches

Temperatures

Temperatures

Plan ...increase adiabatically bunch intensity. Keeping an eye on temperatures.... Loss maps towards the end of the week

Pending SPS magnet: could hold until the technical stop Auto reset for cryo-valves in IR5/7 (3 hours – no access) MKI2 (access – 2 hours) Swap Board AB for nQPS QF/QD Sector 81 Oil leak warm compressor point 4 – require reconfiguration of point 4 (2-3 hours stop)
