Tuesday 22.5.2012

Tuesday 6:30 injection beam after collimator problems sorted out 7:17 dump by interlock BPMs: pilot being excited by the injection cleaning  Switched off injection cleaning for the third injection for the next fill. 8:48 – 4: 24 stable beams fill# 2651 5.8 1033 cm-2s-1 peak Luminosity 1.43 1011 average bunch intensity at injection – rather big variations Delivered 205 pb-1 average to Atlas and CMS in 19:35 hours

15:18 the B1 bunches #1, #2 and #4 all of a sudden experienced a sharp loss (collisions in IP8 only)

Bunch intensities and losses after 15 h collisions

Wednesday Morning 4:24 beam dumped by operator 6:00 re-injecting lengthened by issues with the SPS bunch length 8:00 filling again

Varia The request for abort gap cleaning was changed from 5e9 to 1e10 for beam 1 only. BSRT and especially the AGM: closing of application should not affect operation Take Soft Start data immediately after a beam dump at full energy when the MKIs are close to or above the MKI temperature interlock threshold Take measurements (manual at the time being) head-tail monitor – investigate automatic triggering, possibly on BBQ amplitude Vacuum will need an access to repair a pumping group in S45 (not urgent)
