    • 11:00 → 11:05
      New Announcements 5m

      North area UPS replacement - Power cut test :

      19.05 (!) we will have TWO power cuts 09h & 13h , each lasting for approx. 40 minutes.
      This is to verify the connectivity of the switchboards.

      The UPS replacement is then planned for 14-16.06 (EOD211). This will again be a full power cut.
      We are working with BE-EA, EN-EL to minimize the time.

      48V System replacement :

      This will affect us via the AUL line, so we will have also a full power cut.
      Date currently planned : 07.06 - 09.06
      Again, we will try to minimise the time the GIF is actually affected.

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

      Irradiator Maintenance  :   NO OPERATION  !  LIMITED ACCESS !
      Planned : Week 22  ( 31. 05. to 04. 06)
      Currently this looks fine.

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

      EHN1 DSO Test :  

      10-11. 06 : 2 days without access to interlocked zones in EHN1.
      For GIF++ we will agree on a few hour intervention during these days.

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

      New gas installation request for NA61 & NA64: 

      Stop of primary gas supply ≤ 2 days.
      Proposed date: together with the annual maintenance in the week 22

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

      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.

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

      H4 Patrol rigths  :   

      Will be canceled before the beam time. Short retraining will be needed.
       

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

      Beam line control   :   

      Retraining on CESAR application proposed. We will organise this with Bastien closer to beam time
      Please sign up, if you want to participate.

      Weekly planning 15m

      WILL BE UPDATED DURING THE MEETING !!!

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

      Weekly Planning :   https://teamup.com/ksvh7dak8mub8k7xpe 
      UPSTREAM :          Default filter settings :   2.2
      DOWNSTREAM :   Default filter settings :  1

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


      Middle chamber removed, replaced in front of CMS-CSC. 
      Propose to raise the chamber by ≈ 40 cm during the weekly access (May 19th), stay until summer. 
      Long term chamber placed behind CMS-CSC (SM1-M40) around 3m.
      Wed May 05th, a large detector hanged to the ceiling -> remove at 19th. New gas banks ordered.

      ATLAS - sTGC :  
      One chamber arrived at CERN, soon another will arrive. Should come to GIF next week.                                

      ATLAS - sMDT : 
      No special request.

      CMS - CSC: 
      Upstream chamber removed temp. to connect cooling - installation during maintenance.
      Rack for preparation area is prepared. Arriving in ≈ 1 week.
      Gas purifier not yet changed. GC measurement pending.
      New references for gas bottles needed to be add on the Cern list.
      One CMS chamber arriving.

      EP-DT2 :  Gas system problem resolved (broken tube). Restarted.

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

      CMS-DT:  Expected to return to bunker later this year. INFN still blocking activity outside Italy. Working on the chambers outside of the bunker.  Cabling during the maintenance week.

      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.

      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

      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.

      Call for Run Coordinator !!

      Version 1.0 of schedule for GIF & RD51 (5 weeks):

      12-20 July (first 9 days)
      1-7. September (1 week)
      20.10 - 2.11 (2 weeks)
      10-14.11 (4 days)

      Planning for the first beam slot completed.

      Questions from BE-EA :

      - For the startup, end of week 27, we commission the pre-dump.
      Would it be possible to measure the intensity somehow inside GIF++, i.e let's say mid-week 27 ?

      - For week 28, I was wondering how to best organize for GIF++ / RD51 : 

          o For the pion run of RD51, we can use the pre-dump and GIF++ will take muons. Will be the case ?    

          o For the muon run of RD51, we can either leave the pre-dump in (or we remove it) and GIF++ still will take muons. In case that we leave the pre-dump in and this does not work as expected, we can put it down with an ~1h stop). 

      - Being in parallel with NA61 implies only NEGATIVE beams (-80 or -150, to be seen which momentum is best)

      For week 36 : Predump in ?

      For weeks 43-44-45 :

         o For the pion run of RD51, we can have the pre-dump IN and GIF++ will take muons. Will be the case in this run ?

          o For the muon run of RD51, we can either leave the pre-dump in (or we remove it) and GIF++ still will take muons. In case that we leave the pre-dump in and this does not work as expected, we can put it down with an ~1h stop).

      General Items 5m
      • 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 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.
