Status of commissioning with beam

• Simone Gilardoni (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Performance and reasons to stop normal operation with MTE • Issues encountered (controls, instrumentation, kickers) • Next steps • Requirements for completing the commissioning in 2010 (instrumentation, controls, OP support, time required in dedicated mode) • Optics of the extraction line • Impact of MTE-related studies on other operational beams

Measurements’ analysis

• Massimo Giovannozzi (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Stability issues • Required tools and instrumentation

Operations point of view: PS

• Rende Steerenberg (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Status of setting up after the first operational period • Things to be re-done • Status of the transfer line • Requirements for operation of Fixed-Target/CNGS with MTE

Operations point of view: SPS

• Karel Cornelis (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Status of setting up after the first operational period • Things to be re-done • Status of the transfer line • Requirements for operation of Fixed-Target/CNGS with MTE

Radioprotection issues

• Markus Widorski (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Status of ring (septum excluded) after MTE operation • Septum activation • TT10 hot spot • Linac 3 area • CT vs. MTE in terms of losses • Requirements for running with MTE • Long term requirements in case of MTE running: shielding on top of SMH16, barracks in the ring center

Power converters stability

• Pierre Freyermuth (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Check with new observation tools: PFWs, F8L, low-energy quads, sextupoles and octupoles • B-field fluctuations

General status of instrumentation

Considerations on performance of extraction elements

• Luc Sermeus (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 • Aperture and strength margins for SEH31 • Performance of BFAs – pedestal and staircases - (strength and PPM capabilities) • Aperture margins for SMH16 • Issues with MTE kickers (sparking). Fancy operation: change of polarities • Limitations in case of test for new extraction schemes in combination with CT operation • Performance of DFA in TT2 (ppm) • Spare policy of SMH16 with MTE • Spare policy of SEH31 with MTE hybrid

New MTE extraction scheme to mitigate irradiation of SMH16
