Outline 2  MPS commissioning procedures  Setup from pilot to first collisions  How we plan to do it  How we did it  New setup beam flag definition  Implications for MPS setup and validation  Intensity ramp-up  Switching to 25ns

MPS test procedures 3 NNot to be repeated (eventually only executed at beginning of run, but not after Christmas or technical stops) STo be repeated only after longer shutdowns during a run (e.g. Christmas stops) TTo be repeated after every Technical Stop (including longer shutdowns during a run) PPeriodical repetition required, like 1 x per month; details to be defined in text OTo be repeated when LHC optics/crossing scheme is changed  Series of detailed commissioning procedures from 2009 used to coordinate tests during Machine Check Out and commissioning with beam  Update of the procedures with Run1 experience is required:  Implementation of LS1 changes + new features  Adaptation to actual intensity steps/ramp-up  Revision of test periodicity  New procedure for FBCCM to be added

MPS test example: BLM 4  Recommissioning of BLM system with beams:  Direct BLM test : in the procedure but never tested for Run1 (time consuming)  Check of dump triggered by BLM for each crate: either with shots on nearby collimators, or by decreasing the threshold

MPS test follow-up 5  Implementation of MPS commissioning to AccTest progressing (barriers, dependent/composed tests,..) but not fully ready for start-up : – First type-test implementation for MKD exchange completed  Post LS1 tracking using SharePoint site:  MPS site worked fine – driven by few individuals in parallel to coordination, progress & status of advancement not obvious  Will capture sequence and dependencies during commissioning  Model and use full MPS commissioning in 2015 and first use after Technical/X-mas stops  MPS setup and global MP tests must be repeated when:  Beta* is changed  Crossing angle is changed  Energy is changed HWC (left) and MKD tree (right) in ACCTEST

Initial Setup strategy 6  Establish operational cycle with “safe” conditions  450 GeV re-commissioning (both beams capture, orbit)  Optics checks, aperture measurements  Ramp and squeeze (orbit, optics correction)  Collisions  Interleaved MPS commissioning to prepare higher intensities:  Collimator set-up and validation (loss maps) Injection Flat top End of squeeze In collisions  LBDS validation (asynchronous beam dump test)  Injection protection set-up and validation  Intensity ramp-up:  Nominal bunch  bunch train

MPS tests done in 2012  43 MPS tests in the Post Mortem during that 22 days(+ loss maps)

Setup Beam Flag concept 9  Set-up Beam Flag is defined as the intensity limit to allow masking of pre-defined interlocks:  (BLM, IR6 BPM, Coll movements, RF, AC Dipole mode, PIC + some SIS interlocks)  The intensity of ~1e12 p was considered safe  factor 2 was applied to this intensity value, due to lower emittance used during operation => 5e11 p  Setup Beam was used for:  COLL alignment  Loss maps, asynchronous BD test  Optics measurement  Ramp/squeeze commissioning  Chromaticity measurement 3 different SBFs were defined in NORMAL: Considered to be safe. RELAXED: was established to allow 1 nominal bunch at 4 TeV. VERY RELAXED: was established to allow 3 nominal bunches at 4 TeV. 450 GeV4 TeV Normal5e112.4e10 Relaxed5e111.2e11 Very Relaxed5e113.2e11 Ions5e116.1e9

Inputs-limitations for the set-up  What is needed for orbit measurement:  Efficient set-up of collisions: 2 nominal bunches  BPM IR6 new sensitivity limit: ~ 2e10p/bunch  BPM sensitivity limit (orbit) : 5e10p/bunch  BPM sensitivity limit for collimator: 5e9 p/bunch  What is needed for collimators set-up/ validation Intensity “consumed” during full setup: ~7e10p Intensity “consumed” per transv. loss map (ADT): ~1e10p (8e9 min) D. Wollman, MPP meeting 23th May G. Valentino, CWG 18th May

New values proposed for SBF  Based on material tests + Fluka simulation + Run 1 experience  2 values (3 bunch config) :  NORMAL SBF: 1.1e10 for ALL users  RELAXED SBF: 1.25e11 x 2 bunches for Special users (Orbit, collision setup, loss maps)  RESTRICTED SBF: 1.5e10 x 16 bunches (SIS interlock) for MDs with MP doc. D. Wollman, 92th MPP Limiting intensities for different- level SBFs at 6.5 TeV and 7 TeV 6.5 TeV7 TeV NORMAL1.1e109.4e9 RELAXED/ RESTRICTED 2.5e112.2e11

Moving towards unsafe beams  To operate with unsafe beam:  Operational cycle must be well established  All MPS tests and global protection tests completed  Collimators and absorbers should be in place/ validated  Ramping up strategy as in 2011 and 2012:  Step up of factor 2-4 max in bunch number (decreasing with increasing bunch number)  3 fills per step (making it to STABLE BEAMS)  20 hours of STABLE BEAMS  IR6 BPM test for each new bunch config  Sign off checklist before step up  Meeting of rMPP where practicable

Zerlauth, Evian Dec 2011 Intensity ramp-up in 2011  Main driving factor was machine availability up to 768b, but time allowed to discover & clean up many teething problems at intensities<1380b:  MTG, tune FB, FGC current reading, arc detectors  Initial steps to 912b and 1092b set off UFOs, vacuum activities and SEU

Janczyk

Strategy for 25 ns 15  What we did in 2012 after scrubbing run: – Nominal cycle with 3 bunches (new beta*) – Loss maps – ADT set-up, BPM IR6 test DateTimeMilestone :30ADT setting 20:00228 b injected, scrubbing 1m with 3 nominal b 5:00Cycle with 3 nominal for collimators set-up 18:00Loss maps :00TDI alignemnt checks :15STABLE BEAMS with 72 bunches (25ns) 08:30Loss maps at flat top :30Loss maps end of squeeze and in collisions :00STABLE BEAMS with 12+2x48b 20:00STABLE BEAMS with 12+4x48b :00STABLE BEAMS with 396b

Summary  We have experience for MPS commissioning for new beam parameters:  New energy ( 4 TeV in 2012)  New bunch spacing in 2011 (75 ns, 50 ns)  Increase of bunch number (till 1380)  We have well established procedures and reference body (rMPP) for tests to be performed and check list for intensity ramp-up  New Set-up beam flag values proposed to accommodate machine safety and efficient set-up: 1.NORMAL SBF: 1.1e10 for ALL users 2.RESTRICTED SBF: 1.25e11 x 2 bunches for special users 3.RELAXED SBF: 1.5e10 x 16 bunches for MDs  But we also have a lot of HW/SW changes (new BLM positions and thresholds, QPS, controls…)  With a bit of optimism, intensity ramp-up with 50ns may look like 2012, but exploring new territory with 25ns may recall LHC will have the final word on the MPP recommendations!
