3. 3 Commissioning plan reported on last IMAC meeting (23 Apr., 2006) More problem on the SC magnets…

4. 4 Backup scheme without SCQ  To commission with beam and possibly provide beam to SR users as early as possible, meantime, take full use of the time about 6 months for the modification of the valve boxes of SCQ and the following field measurement with detector solenoid as well as the field mapping of the detector solenoid itself.  A backup scheme for the IR lattice configuration will be adopted: One normal conducting dipoles (PEPII-B) and two large aperture quads are used to replace of the two superconducting IR magnets. With this backup scheme, the outer ring, the electron ring and positron ring, as well as collision can be commissioned, respectively.

42. 42 Commissioning collision before detector move in 2007/10-11 Beam injection and optimization of lattice parameter of BER&BPR with SCQ Tuning collision 2007/11-2008/02 Optics optimization on beta functions at IP, coupling correction, orbit control at IP, Tune scan Tuning the movable mask for lower background Tuning kicker for top-off injection Beam current increase with multi-bunch, up to 300mA, beam instability observation (including ECI) and tuning the feedback system, Goal: Luminosity up to 5-10  10 31 cm -2 s -1 with sufficient low background for detector moving in. Modified on IMAC06

43. 43 Remarks The initial commissioning of backup scheme progressed on schedule, however, detailed optimization of collision parameters have not yet completed: the tune, coupling, etc. =>Take full use of the backup scheme to develop the tools to monitor and control the beam performance. The time period for the beam commissioning with SCQ before BESIII moved in is only about 5 months, much effort should be paid to improve the current while reduce the background. The present commissioning schedule does not include any fault or mistakes of hardware system, time period to achieve the goal for each step can be longer.
