      New Announcements 5m

      Source issue on Monday May 17th: 

      Source OFF on Monday 17th at 15.51 due to an issue with the access system. Still under investigation !!!

      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.
      In the end it was decided NOT to cut the 48V and the AUL lines.
      Therefore the only effect for GIF was a potential short interruption on the network switch.

      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 !
      NEW DATE: Week 23  ( 07. 06. to 11. 06)
      DSO test still not scheduled - conflict with BE-DSO schedule.

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

      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 23

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

      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 :   4.6
      DOWNSTREAM :   Default filter settings :  1

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


      Chamber in front of CMS-CSC raised by ≈ 60 cm in order to cover homogeneously the full setup of Katerina.        Setup hanged to the ceiling lowered down and removed from the bunker. It will be back in ≈ two weeks from now. It will go for a long term irradiation. 
      Long term chamber placed behind CMS-CSC (SM1-M40).

      ATLAS - sTGC :  
      All the chambers tested. No chambers present at GIF at the moment. Expected to receive more chambers in one/two weeks from now.

      ATLAS - sMDT : 
      Planning to install another small setup in front of the permanent ATL-sMDT. To be seen if it will be fine with the space left for reaching the shielded rack. 

      CMS - CSC: 
      Upstream chamber removed temp. to connect cooling - installation during maintenance.
      Rack for preparation area is prepared. Arriving in ≈ 1 week. To check the place of the holes for the cable installation.
      Gas purifier not yet changed. GC measurement pending. To check on place the remaining calibration bottles for GC measurements.
      New references for gas bottles needed to be add on the Cern list. Reminder sent to David.
      One CMS chamber arriving for few days for an HV test.

      EP-DT2 :  Gas system problem resolved (broken tube). Setup restarted and data taking on going.

      EcoGas: Data analysis on going for the run with standard mixture. Next week will swap with HFO. Most probably next week there will be need to have attenuation factor to 6.9 for one week (T.B.C)

      CMS-DT:  Expected to return to bunker mid-June. A reparation on the electronic is needed before moving the chamber to the prep.area and then to the bunker. Cabling during the maintenance week should be feasible (T.B.C.)

      CMS-RPC: Radiation program resumed on trolley 1. Request for a rate scan (6.9) and source OFF (2h) today, already registered in the teamup.
      iRPC prototype chamber reinstalled. 

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

      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.

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

      12-20 July (first 9 days)
      1-7. September (1 week)

        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.

        =============================

        SAFETY ALERT!

        Recall of type 1 surgical masks from the DEKOTURF brand

        Defects have recently been observed in DEKOTURF brand type 1 surgical masks currently distributed and in use at CERN.As a precaution, you are asked to no longer use these masks, and to return your boxes to the CERN store. Masks from another supplier (Sanitrade) are in stock and are now being distributed. To obtain the new masks, a new order must be placed following existing procedure (no exchange on site at the store for traceability reasons).Thank you for your understanding and for your collaboration. HSE Occupational Health & Safety and Environmental Protection Unit in collaboration with SCE Services & Supply Chain.
