        New Announcements 5m

        Commissioning of the GIF beam dump: 

        Proposed date: Beginning of July (just before NA physics)

        We should be ready to give feedback, e.g. counting rates etc.

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

        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)  - Very questionable

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

        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."

        DOWNSTREAM :   Default filter settings :  1

        ----------------------------------
        ATLAS - MM :

        2 long term chambers placed (on the ceiling), operational -> exit next week
        LM2 placed below long term one.
        Middle chamber removed, replaced in front of CMS-CSC.
        Propose to raise the chamber by ≈ 40 cm.
        Proposal to stay until summer.

        ATLAS - sTGC :  Lot of problems with gas system. Gas keeps stopping. Roberto investigating.
        New chamber arriving on Friday. Two shipments in transit.

        ATLAS - sMDT : 
         Request run 4.6 until Tues.

        CMS - CSC:  Restarted irradiation. Gas purifier to be changed.
        Stop Ar over the weekend caused problems. Chamber needs to tested and analysed.
        Upstream chamber relocated. GC measurement pending.

        EP-DT2 :  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. Running. Test campaign resumed using eco-friendly mixture (HFO).
        Request : from 12.04 - Mo to Friday filter 6.9

        CMS-RPC: Radiation program resumed on trolley 1.
        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. iRPC prototype chamber removed.

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

        • IMPACTs for 2021 5m

          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.
