Dry Run Week 13 Infrastructure LHC o LHC

Dry Run- Week 13 - Infrastructure LHC o LHC OP + BI logging running o Energy distributed by energy simulator: 10 seconds 450 Ge. V, 15 minutes ramp to 7 Te. V, 10 seconds 7 Te. V, 15 minutes ramp to 450 Ge. V o Energy logged under LHC->Beam Interlocks->SMP in units of 120 Me. V o Timing up and running o Injection table played by sequencer o Sequence: Play Inj Tbl Async o Needed by BTVs and FIFO concentrator o All concentrators running: BLM running sums, BLM capture, BPM FIFO, BPM capture o Operational Hyper. Cycle: INJ-TEST R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 1

Dry Run - Week 13 – BI - Results o All in all: already quite successful. o Summary under: o o https: //espace. cern. ch/mddb/Lists/Activity. Tracking%20 simplified. aspx Looked at: o BPMs → Concentrators , OFSU→ YASP, Multi. Turn o FBCTs, DCBCTs → Applications, fixed displays, logging o BLMs → Concentrators → BLM monitoring applications (running sums, capture), threshold editor o o LHC → MCS online checks: all BLMs critical o Abort gap monitor → Application, logging o LHC timing BTVs → Application, logging o Tune → Application, logging No post mortem events, no beam dumped events R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 2

Dry Run - Week 13 – Issues (1) o RBAC policy strict mode: we are not ready yet o Changed back to lenient shortly after o Need a dedicated dry run after switch to strict mode later on o (Problems with old CMW name server) o BTV proxies: no solution yet o Need to come back to BCTs o Logging o LHC o not everything logged that is defined: Profiles for wire scanners, certain parameters of BCTs (see summary), some BLMs (disconnected? ( see summary)), BBQ o partly nothing defined: abort gap monitor, orbit o SDDS directories. . OK now [but not final solution yet] FILL DATA: could we not have some more structure there? o Sub-directories automatically generated: BLM, BPM, YASP, . . R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 3

Dry Run - Week 13 – Issues (2) o o Request from BLMs: concentrators, sequencer, . . should not use OPERA account anymore. o What shall we use? Special controls account? Different accounts for sequencer, concentrator, . . . ? o Token time-outs!! Simulated SMP intensity: could not change it → wire scanners protected above certain intensities. o o Still issue: problem of new Lab. View version. Fixed displays: need to rationalise the number of windows we have. o o LHC Example: 4 windows for the FBCTs Orbit correctors: k → KICK R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 4

MCS Tests (1) o Summary under: o o LHC http: //vkain. web. cern. ch/vkain/MCSTests. htm Successfully tested except online checks: o LHC BLMs o o CISx: safe machine parameters (probe beam intensity, energy limit for stable beam flag) o o o Dry run: all BLMs were critical. Online check: > 25 minutes (corrected after release, not tested yet) Online checks not tested yet: waiting for release Injection kickers: Expert. Settings (operational limits) o Soft. Start. Setting critical but not tested yet. o Online checks not tested yet: waiting for release MKD and MKB settings o The new MKB devices are still missing in FESA o Online checks not tested yet: waiting for release R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 5

MCS Tests (2) o o LHC Still to be done: o LBDS IPOC (issue with global devices) o LBDS BETS (hardware/software not ready) o Interlocked BPMs in point 6 (still no decision on role) o Interlock settings for power converters in transfer lines o Collimators: started tests o Virtual critical settings Will carry on testing R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 6

Next dry runs o Ongoing: FGC tests with operational settings o https: //espace. cern. ch/mddb/Activity%20 Tracking%20 Tool/Activity%20 Tracking%20 Welcome. aspx? View={593 B 6 E 53 -F 6 F 9 -4485 -8646 -E 7 E 683 D 0 F 681}&Selected. ID=28 o Coming dry runs: next slides o Have to test BCTs again. o o LHC Propose week 17 : with generation of SMP intensities. When shall we test with RBAC in strict mode? o June? R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 7

Dry Run I – injection equipment o LHC week 14 (2 nd and 3 rd of April) and week 15 (for BI rather) o o o MKI 8: run it from control room o New softstart o OASIS: BCT + MKIs; logging o Beam permit loops: need to jumper out also injection BICs o Energy OK from energy from simulation o Application? ? : need to make sure that can run it through LSA o Application will be ready in week 16 only → SM 18 shifts o http: //wikis/display/LHCOP/Sequence+-+Soft-start o Timing: ready for week 14 Test mode stuff (need to verify!!) → got email from Jean-Claude: first version will be ready: need to have a little application as well. Just ONE button (only as lhcop). o RF needs to generate the pre-pulse: Andy told me should be OK o Fixed displays TI 8 and TI 2 o Prepare DC functions (can’t run it. . . interlocked) o All BI, usual stuff ← maybe not TI 8 BPMs o Logging for new BPMs. . . new logging for the PC Injection BI: again concentrators (BLM [also capture] and BPM), injection region BTVs, run injection tables o BTV proxies: for all SPS BTVs R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 8

Dry Run II o o Week 17 (23 rd and 24 th of April) - Injection o Beam 1 and beam 2 injections if possible with the BIS o Transfer lines: critical settings for FEI o MKI 2 like before: with application Week 17 – LBDS software o LBDS monitoring application (no functional test yet, only communication): needs RBAC for the acknowledge o Arming of IPOC and BETS testable (Bets. Sim) → test new sequences as far as possible o Also, the new CIBG generators and communication with it. . . for the time being LBDS jumpered out o XPOC (play-back mode), logging o Dump line BI with XPOC events (should trigger XPOC): fixed displays o o LHC FBCTs, BLMs, BTVs, BPMs (interlocked BPM), Abort gap monitor Week 17 – timing: new telegram R. Alemany & V. Kain, 31 st of March. 09 9
