Tuesday 24 th July - morning 10:15 Operator dump of fill 2873  Initial luminosity: 5.83e33 cm-2s-1  12 hours stable beams  151 pb-1 delivered  Initial bunch current: 1.34e11 ppb at start stable beams  Emittance from luminosity: 2.18 micron 11:00 ACSModuleM2B1 :: Klystron 3 vac2 vacuum activity-> Vacuum pump 2 power supply current >100uA. Vacuum power supply or klystron vacuum problem.  Short access required 12:40 Injecting probes etc.  Some injection line steering required LHC status

Tuesday 24 th July - morning ADT gain calibration at 450 GeV (see over) Programmed bunch length after blow-up increased from 1.2 to 1.25 ns (Themis) – had been drifting low (see over) 16:15 Injecting for physics 17:45 Stable beams fill 2875  Initial luminosity 5.72e33 cm -2 s -1  Initial bunch current: 1.39e11 ppb at start stable beams  Emittance from luminosity: 2.35 micron  Still in… 160 pb -1 so far LHC status

Summary of the ADT Gain renormalisation The electronic gain programmed for ADT is calculated as a function of the normalized gain programmed by the user, momentum and a calibration constant. A normalised gain of 0.05 shall correspond to a damping time of 40 turns (tau=2/Normalised_Gain). It was checked if this was the case. The center bunch of a train of 36 bunches was taken as a reference (at 450 GeV, with data from injection oscillations). The calibration constants which were used in the system until today date from As the tetrodes in the power amplifiers are ageing and being replaced, and the Beam Position Readings change with the beam intensity settings variations have occurred since. LHC status Wolfgang Hofle, Daniel Valuch

Summary of the ADT Gain renormalisation Since the last technical stop in June 2012 all power systems are populated with new tubes and back to nominal power gain. From the measurements we have programmed new calibration factors today:  HB1 old 9213 new  VB1 old 8804 new 9199  HB2 old new 7942  VB2 old 6197 new 5167 The effective gain of the Horizontal Beam 2 system was therefore lowered by 31% and it should be now consistent again with the "normalized gain" knob.
