Schedule n 2/21/2012 The machine checkout period covers W 10 and part of W 11. LBOC - Machine Checkout Expected end of powering tests

Tunnel activities planning Pt 2 2/21/2012 LBOC - Machine Checkout

Tunnel activities Pt 8 2/21/2012 LBOC - Machine Checkout

Who? n Machine checkout coordination by R. Giachino and M. Albert – starts W 10. ¨ n Back up J. Wenninger. Starting in W 10 we will organize 17: 00 meetings in the CCC glassbox to coordinate the activities (in addition to 8: 30). Experience shows that the evening are the most efficient periods. ¨ Time for meetings weekend of W 10 to be defined. ¨ 2/21/2012 LBOC - Machine Checkout

What? n Main aims of W 10: Run the machine (PCs, collimators, if possible RF & ADT) through the full cycle: injection, ramp, squeeze, ramp down, pre-cycle. ¨ Close the BIS loop and arm the LBDS. Dry-test the LBDS. ¨ Pulse the MKIs in Pt 2 and Pt 8. ¨ LHC beams (at least some pilots…) to the downstream TEDs. ¨ n Weekend of W 10 (Sat 10 th and Sun 11 th) is likely to be the most efficient period. ¨ n For the experiments: ¨ 2/21/2012 Please no accesses !!! We will set the beam mode to STABLE BEAMS during this period !! We will give some pre-warning on page 1. LBOC - Machine Checkout
