LHC Beam Commissioning Meeting V. Kain & R. Alemany 1

2. Week 29: Post Mortem
PM data clients: BIC, BI, PVSS (PIC), BLM, BPM, PC, collimators, ALARMS, UPS, FMCM
Analysis = Pre-analysis ( 1 min after PM event) + Analysis (max 7 min after PM event)
Result:  time to process and analyze a trigger. Use a PM1 event
=============================================
PM1 triggered at 10:51:22.563
Pre-analysis launched at 10:52:12.698
Pre-analysis finished at 10:52:19.227
Final analysis started at 10:56:23.762
Final analysis started at 10:56:32.844

3. Week 30: LBDS B2, RF FGC new version, Incorporation
Arming OK
System dumped in several ways: operator switch, BIS frequency stopped, energy difference using the BETSSIM.
Ramped to 7 TeV
Sequence Inject and dump OK (Injection test mode)
RBAC OK (Only expert can acknowledge)
ALARMS OK
Some issues with Fixed displays

4. RF FGC New version:
Load settings and ramp with timing event (equip state + sequencer) OK
RF synchronization sequence OK
Some issues with the logging
Real Time Input OK

5. New BLM critical settings OK, trimming OK MCS for collimators OK
Incorporation:
The incorporation can be done now per system and parameter type.
Week 31 new incorporation rule tested and found that it only from the start of the function but not in the middle (investigating). Incorporation in the whole hyper cycle not working yet.
A new incorporation rule CONSTANT_DECAY_IR (needed for RF frequency program) available.
New BLM critical settings OK, trimming OK
Acquire doesn’t work gives always null
MCS for collimators OK

6. Week 31: RBAC STRICT, LBDS B2, Squeeze, IQC, MKI
RBAC STRICT  see Pierre presentation
LBDS B2 Programmed Dump:
Everything fine except BPM, BCT and vacuum that doesn’t publish data after a programmed dump.
Squeeze: squeeze of IP1 and IP5 combined with orbit correctors and global chroma tested. IT not fully tested yet.

7. IQC: first prototype tested and working nicely, three analysis modules + one overall module per beam working:
Intensity extracted from SPS
BLM
RF bucket check
MKI: synchronization tests were done for both beams of the MKI w.r.t. injection pre-pulse  both injection pre-pulses have been delayed by 1.2 ms

8. Next Dry Runs Week 32: Week 33:
LBDS B1: arming and Inject and Dump sequence
Follow up: Incorporation, RBAC STRICT, Fidel, etc.
Week 33:
DIP handshake
LHC State Machine
Follow up of issues
