Presentation transcript:

Monday 12 th November 04:50 Beam dump, trip of RF line 4B, integrated L ~120 pb-1. Access for RF. 07:00 Injecting. FBCT phasing. Line steering. 09:59 Beam dump LHCb on injection. Reduce satellites in PS. 10:30 Transverse damper module H2B2 down and RF lines tripped. 13:24 ADT problem fixed. Injecting for physics. 13:52 Start ramp. 13:55 Cryo problem in point 4. Cryo ok will be lost in few minutes. 14:05 Beam dumped due to cryogenics point 4. Cryo recovery. 06:30 Cryogenics back – pre-cycle. 08:00 Injecting pilots. LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

Injection Second injection 144 b beams dumped by LHCb Decide to stop the satellite enhancement in PS to check difference  Reduces the losses at injection by factor 2 – 3.  Not seen injection sequencer that green for a while  Average slot population about 0.1 % LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

LDM for 144 bunches These bunches, before and after the 144 bunches, can be kicked out by the injection kicker and cause losses in LHCb… LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

Cryogenics Point 4 LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

Cryogenics problem Point 4 Monday 12Nov’12 13h56: (1st part of ramp for physic) Cold compressors stopped at P4-S34, “fault” of magnetic bearings for CC1 15h: Access in cavern and strange error message Similar “signature” as previous SEU for such HW, but this time <1TeV…… For info: HiRadMat this week!!! 16h: Test to restore LHe level sensor (negative!) 17h: CC4 bearings fault needed recalibration (close to end of life?) 19h: restart of cold compressors (pump-down algorithm not as expected!) 24h: Full flow dedicated to sector cooling Tuesday 13Nov’12 6:30h: Cryo conditions back Repair: 5h - Prepare for cooling: 5h - Cooling: 6:30h Cryo down-time: 16:30h LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

This fill Tune split in a bit earlier  Goes in after tune-shift in the squeeze. 3e-3 B1V. Philippe looking at the RF  Fourth injection in batch has longer bunch length  Check bbb blow-up settings Reduced damper gain B2 as still without gated BBQ. Increase damper when gated BBQ operational Gated BBQ B2 (this fill?) LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012

Miscellaneous Access DONE:  ATLAS, CMS, ALICE, EPC RQF.A67, BI Compensator IP8 back in operation  LHCb ramped down and up Test of ndiv beams from SPS (own cycle) Outstanding  TL TCDI scraping test to check tails coming from SPS (1 inj)  Gated BBQ B2 (this fill?)  Injection cleaning and damper tests Access  PM32 : CV to check / remove sand.  Access system LHC 8:30 meeting 13/11/2012
