Outline  TDI and TCLI setup  TL steering and stability  TCDI setup  Injecting trains of 4 and 8b  Issues with protection device settings  TCDI protection settings and validation tests  Beam loss margins and plans for increasing injected intensity

TDI/TCLI setup  Cross-checked TDI tilt with new method  Find beam, retract, scan tilt angle – worked well  Confirmed values found by analysis  Applied 1 mrad tilt to lower TDI jaw for B1  Improved scale error by factor ~2 (still residual)  Centered all TDI/TCLI wrt new injection orbit  5 mm offsets for TCLIA.B1 TDI.B1

TL steering and stability  Monday 6 th : redid completely TI 2 and TI 8 steering with ‘final’ LHC3 cycle  Used 4b in 150 ns trains  Corrected back to July TCDI setup trajectories  Changes of about 1 mm, mainly in H  Corrected with 1-2 correctors, max 10 urad  RMS 250  m for both planes in TI 8, and 170  m in TI 2 (wrt July reference)  Corrected injection oscillations to <0.5 mm

Recall: Orbit and Trajectories  Reproducibility of orbit at the extraction point in the SPS: Ok within the measurement precision (~200  m)  Trajectory in the TL (BPM close to collimators): maximum difference = 700  m (RMS of errors  m) BPMMax difference [mm] TI2.BPMIV V0.3 TI2.BPMIH H0.7 TI2.BPMIH V0.5 TI2.BPMIH H0.6 TI2.BPMIV V 0.7 TI2.BPMIV V0.6 BPMMax difference [mm] TI8.BPMI H 0.7 TI8.BPMI V0.3 TI8.BPMI V0.2 TI8.BPMI H0.5 TI8.BPMI H0.5 TI8.BPMI V0.6 Beam 1Beam 2

TCDI setup  Wed 8 th / Thurs 9 th : LHC3 cycle with 4 nominal bunches injected...time consuming (1 point per 2-3 minutes)  13 collimators centered: move only one jaw closer to beam (keep protection level), response on TL/LHC BLMs  Changes of up to 0.8 mm / 0.5 sigma seen wrt July Would ideally like 1 nominal bunch on LHC3 cycle...any chance for SPS?

TDI/TCDI settings protection level validation  Validating TCDI protection, at setting of 5   Will operate at setting of 4.5   Gives some reasonable operational margins to the measured injection aperture  Allows settings to be relaxed by 0.5  if needed (TCDIH with large D x in each line)  Need to scan phases and amplitudes with pilots and measure transmission – time consuming  Leave TDI/TCLI at 6.8   Loss issues are from uncaptured beam, not transverse

Change of SPS extraction energy on LHC3  Corrected LHC3 extraction energy to LHCFAST1  Energy changed from to GeV  0.1 per mil change  Setup done last week on old energy: yesterday rechecked  Large (>1mm) trajectory and factor 2-4 higher losses  Both lines resteered in H and V  Injection oscillations corrected again  4 TCDIs checked for centring (critical H, max D x /  )  Total time about 4 h – might need to repeat this process at intervals of a few weeks  Hopefully no more changes like this  Or keep LHC3 cycle (high intensity, ergo most critical) parameters constant and change the others if possible

Injecting 150 ns trains of 4 and 8b  4b injection now operational  SPS extraction kicker synch checked and OK  Problems with LHC BCTs (BPF, readings). Solved.  Losses always below LHC BLM dump levels  Full 52b injection scheme tried several times – low losses on IQC (done with few or no latched) and in LHC  B1 capture losses sorted out (SPS energy mismatch)  8b injection used to fill for beam-beam checks  First injected 4b witness train – cumbersome. Keep??  Otherwise losses etc. looked fine  Dumping of 4b and 8b trains all OK (as expected) B1 28b B2 28b B1 52b B2 52b

Injecting 150 ns trains of 4 and 8b 22 minutes to fill (2x13 injections) 52b in 150 ns trains of 4b 28b in 150 ns trains (1x 4b, 3x 8b)

Issues with protection device settings  TCDQ at 3.5  while injecting nominal 4b  Ramped TCDQ to 3.5 TeV settings while at 450 GeV  Understood where problem came from  Pilot circulating well, no interlock anywhere  Combination of HW bug, settings tests and executing a collimator subsequence with pilot circulating.  Would be good to catch this kind of gross error before injecting (e.g. if tungsten collimator moved in by error)  Make 1 st injection ‘minimum quantum’ from injector chain??  Before any other fixes, need to make sure NO changes between injection of pilot and first high intensity batch – procedure for OP to check

Beam loss margins  Data taken with 4b and 8b injections  At least 1 day after setup of lines and TCDIs  For 4.6 Gy/s B1 and B2 MQM/MQML thresholds, 80b injection OK  Seems to be enough margin for 2010 (36b per injection) B1 – 4b B2 - 4b NbB1 * B2 * 4b – TCDI b - TCDI b – TCTVB7470 8b - TCTVB5 ** 17 *Q8 for B1, Q7 for B2 : note that dump threshold for Q8 (B1 limit) is factor 2 higher than Q7 for B2 **Before B1 RF adjustments

Plans for increasing injected intensity  Progressively increase injected intensity  Stay with 8/12b, until step to 144/192b total  Option for 400b to use 24 or 36b per injection

Conclusions  Trajectories and TCDI setup done  Adjustments made after LHC3 energy, to return to nominal situation (TCDI centres rechecked – very small changes)  Needs ~4h to reset up and check lines if drifts accumulate  150 ns trains of 4 and 8b injected without problems  Loss margins checked, and look OK to max 40-80b per injection  Injection protection system validation checks ongoing  Plan to validate at 5 , and operate at 4.5  if possible  Need to monitor injection oscillations and LHC orbit, to ensure tolerances  Plan for increasing injected intensity looks feasible, to 24 and possibly eventually 36b. Will spend some weeks with 12b per injection.
