4. Q: Are the HF BCID slots shifted wrt nominal ? Looked at the Y scan of fill 3992, specifically at the central (4 th ) scan point, when beams are heads-on, i.e. lumi measurements should be at maximal values Plots on following pages show the uncalibrated luminosity as function of bcid, averaged over the time window of the 4 th scan point. For better readability, distributed the full bcid range (1 to 3564) over 36 histograms. Full set of histograms can also be found in – /afs/cern.ch/work/g/grothe/public/comp_HF_BCM1F_FBCT/ 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis4

5. 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis5 There appears to be a shift in bcids HF shows double band structure

7. Title 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis7 Currents: single non-zero value at bcid 1270 BCM1F: single non-noise level value at bcid 1270 HF: around bcid 1270 just noise HF: non-noise level value double peak at bcids 1307 and 1308

8. Title 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis8 Currents: non-zero value at bcid 1828 HF: double-peak at bcids 1865 and 1866 From ~1870 onwards, every other bcid has non-noise level value For HF, all bcids after 1870 have non- noise level values

9. Summary on HF 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis9 BCM1F nicely tracks the FBCT1*FBCT2 current product HF shows a much more complicated pattern: – When the lumi appears to be above noise level, there are two distinct bands. – For isolated bcid with non-zero current, the HF luminosity is above noise at bcid+37 and bcid+38. – The relative height of the two peaks (about ¼ to ¾) points to an average offset of around 37.7.

14. Summary on noise 21 July 2015 HF optimization scan analysis14 In the bcids following bunch trains with non-zero currents, both BCM1F and HF show noise: – That decays exponentially and then randomizes – For BCM1F, the randomization appears to take over more quickly than for HF BCM1F noise appears fully random after ~400 bcid For HF noise has not fully randomized after ~ 500 bcid – Noise just after a bunch train with non-zero currents is O(100) lower than the non-noise level lumi values for both BCM1F and HF
