12:35 → 12:40 Supercycles, Wobbling , Target Intensities

Target Intensities North Area:

T2 wobbling:

T4 wobbling: no changes

Upcoming MDs and beam stops:
Wednesdays 8:00 - 18:00 no beam to NA (dedicated MD)

SPS supercycle:
Standard configuration is 2 NA spills (in a supercycle of 28.8 to 36 sec); When other beams need to be set-up (e.g. HiRadMat) the supercycle will get longer (keeping 2 NA spills per supercycle).

With AWAKE: 2 NA spills / 2 AWAKE extractions per supercycle for 2 shifts per day, standard supercycle for the remaining shift

Parallel MD on Thursdays: 1 NA spill per supercycle (mostly, maybe 2 NA spills if the MD allows.)

12:40 → 12:45 AOB
