      Campus Network interruption at B. 887

       

      Begin: Mon Mar 15, 2021 08:00 - 12:30
      Impact: Down

      There will be ~30 minutes of cut of the wired network switch by switch between 8am to 12:30am and micro cuts until the end of the intervention.

      WiFi interuption on the March 16th, between 08:30 and 12:30 for half an hour.

       

      ----------------------------------

       

      New gas installation request for NA61 & NA64: 

      Proposed date: together with the annual maintenance in the week 18 (03-07.05)

      Installation of a new gas patch panel for the NA64 (upstream GIF++). In principle we will need to stop the neutral gas supply for 1h in order to connect a two ways valve starting from our patch panel in the preparation area. In the meantime, also the iC4H10 line will be stopped at least for half a day. It will be needed in order to connect on the same line (bldg. 909), a new one for the NA61 experiment.   

      ----------------------------------

      Irradiator Maintenance  :   NO OPERATION  !  LIMITED ACCESS !

      Scheduled  : Week 9  (01-05.03)  Cancelled because of COVID-19 restriction
      Fall back    : Week 18  (03-07.05)

      ----------------------------------

      GIF pyTIMBER  :   Not opertional

      Changes to access TIMBER (authentication required)
      Retiring of access tools used. We will have to re-write the whole tool.

      Solution has been proposed.
      We need to see if this solves the issue.

      ----------------------------------

      GIF Logbook  :   

      Discussion started if we can move to accelerator logbook.

      Muon Beam Scheduling 2021 10m

      Preparation and Scheduling of Muon Beam Time 2021.
      Will be reviewed when we get the beam plan end of April

      We expect to receive the first version of the NA schedule (including GIF) in end of April.

      We now need to start the space planning for the beam weeks.
      Please provide either a CAD drawing (preferred) or food-print (frowned upon) of your setup so we can see how / if they can be aligned along the beam line.

      SPS North Area p+     12.07.2021 to 15.11.2021  (18 weeks)

      Beamline         Weeks Requested
      H2                    20 (111%)
      H4                    37 (206%)
      H6                    31 (172%)
      H8                    33 (183%)

      "Arbitration is needed for the H4 beam-line (and to a much smaller extend for the H2 beam line) between the NA experiments and the LHC test-beams."

    • 11:30 → 11:45
      Weekly planning 15m

      WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE MEETING !!!

      ----------------------------------

      Weekly Planning :   https://teamup.com/ksvh7dak8mub8k7xpe 
      UPSTREAM :          Default filter settings :  4.6 until Monday, then 2.2 
      DOWNSTREAM :   Default filter settings :  1

      ----------------------------------

      ATLAS - MM :
      3 long term chambers placed (on the ceiling), operational.
      New detector installed last week on the back of CMS-CSC. (removed).
      Next week plan to lower tripplet, remove on chamber and place it in front of CSC.
      Proposal to stay until summer. Discussion about position on site next Wednesday.

      ATLAS - sTGC :  Two new shipments this week. Finishing testing. Next shipment end of March.
       

      ATLAS - sMDT : 
      No special request this week.

      CMS - CSC:  Restarted irradiation. Gas purifier to be changed.
      Stop Ar over the weekend caused problems. Chamber needs to tested and analysed.
      ≈ 3h of downstream filter fully closed (333).
      Next week GC measurement.
      Upstream chamber preparations.  Wed. upstream area - cables pulled. Safety visit done.
      One rack in prep. area will be added as standard LHC blue racks.

      Discussion about moving ATL-MM in front of CSC chamber downstream.

      EP-DT2 :  System restarted. The aging test with eco-friendly gas mixture are going well. 
      Request : Once per month test with Ar, operated from a local bottle.

      CMS-DT:  Expected to return to bunker later this year. INFN still blocking activity outside Italy. 

      EcoGas:  New detector installed. Restarted. Test campaign resumed using eco-friendly mixture (HFO).t

      CMS-RPC: Radiation program resumed on trolley 1. Some impedance problem to solve on the new chambers. Gas kill signal that didn't work when the R134a- FIXED. From now on, whenever a source OFF scan is needed, they are going to try to use the upstream abs set to 333 for most of the time. Indeed, there will be the need to switch OFF completely the source for few final step during the scan.  
      Request : 4.6 default until Monday.

      ATLAS-RPC: Coming back for the moment, not before March 2021.

      introduction, goal of the test, plan, needs

      BLM measuring campaign announced / ≈ 100 BLM, 6h approx. Week 45 (November 2nd till Friday 6th ). We will arrange everything in a way that the setup could be installed inside the bunker in the upstream area near ATL-sTGC setup    -> postponed until next year

      ----------------------------------

      Bulgaria academy of science -> testing of new type of radiation monitor system

      A new setup of ALICE-RPC will come. More news in coming weeks.

      Patrol rights : Will be reset before the Muon Beam  (July).

        Guidelines for filling in IMPACT requests

        List of active IMPACT declarations : https://impact.cern.ch/impact/secure/activities/accessPoint/YDALC02-PPE154

        General Guideline : One IMPACT per setup.

        • two chambers on individual supports -> 2 IMPACT declarations
        • multiple chambers swapped on same or similar support -> one IMPACT declaration
        • basically, if you need two locations, please make two IMPACT declaration (clone)

        Each Setup should have IMPACT label attached with number.
        Attached documents : CAD file  or  picture.
        Review working hours : if your declaration includes the bunker area, please state the number of hours you want to stay INSIDE the bunker only (for RP purposes).

      • CoVid-19 5m

        CoVid-19 Risk Assessment for the Facility :  https://edms.cern.ch/document/2376286/1

        General guideline :

        • ONE setup to enter the bunker at any given time.
        • All presence at the GIF and access to the bunker needs to be announced via Teamup beforehand (!)
        • Traceability of people on site :  Logbook ! - List all the people you encountered.
