- 09:30 → 09:40
  
  Introduction 10m
- 09:40 → 09:55
  MD#6863: Amplitude Detuning Corrections from Feed-Down 15m
  
  [10' presentation + 5' discussion]
  
  Speakers: Ewen Hamish Maclean (CERN), Joschua Werner Dilly (Humboldt University of Berlin (DE))

  Notes:
  
  Main objectives of MD achieved
  
  Not urgent to deploy these corrections in operation, but could be done at some point
- 09:55 → 10:10
  MD#6944: Voltage calibration with beam 15m
  
  [10' presentation + 5' discussion]
  
  Speaker: Helga Timko (CERN)

  Notes:
  
  Main objectives of MD achieved
  
  Measured voltage calibration could be folded in the operational settings
- 10:10 → 10:25
  MD#6949: Validation of bunch-by-bunch detectors functionality 15m
  
  [10' presentation + 5' discussion]
  
  Speakers: Eva Calvo (CERN), Sara Morales Vigo (University of Liverpool (GB))

  20220721_MD_6949_first_report.pptx
  Notes:
  
  Main objectives of MD achieved
  
  Need a second session to test improvements on the firmware and other functionalities
  
  Potentially very useful tool, interest from other MD users
- 10:25 → 10:45
  MD#6807 & MD#6803 20m
  - MD#6807: Slow vs fast octupole scans in nominal conditions
  - MD#6803: BTF for Chromaticity Measurements
  [15' presentation + 5' discussion]
  Speaker: Lorenzo Giacomel (CERN)

  Notes:
  
  Main objectives of MDs achieved
  
  BTF studies to be continued with tests at high energy
  
  Octupoles stability threshold seems lower compared to Run 2, to be investigated
- 10:45 → 11:05
  MD#6843 & MD#6924 20m
  - MD#6843: Methods for non-linear optics correction at small action
  - MD#6924: Slow beam degradation from incoherent electron cloud effects - preparation
  [15' presentation + 5' discussion]
  Speakers: Ewen Hamish Maclean (CERN), Konstantinos Paraschou (CERN)

  2022-07-21_LSWG_FMD1-results.pdf
  Notes
  
  Focused on 3Qy resonance characterization and correction
  
  Could achieve very good correction
  
  Low-action studies to be finalized in a future session (few hours on one beam at injection)
  
  Could be combined with other optics studies at injection that will be requested for the future
- 11:05 → 11:20
  MD#6823: UPS noise and ADT 15m
  
  Speakers: Guido Sterbini (CERN), Sofia Kostoglou (CERN)
  
  LSWG_MD6823_results.pdf
  
  LSWG_MD6823_results.pptx
  Notes:
  
  Could not observe the 8kHz cluster with low intensity at injection
  
  Still changes in the spectrum could be identified when modifying the UPS configuration
  
  Proposal: MD in the next block, or End-Of-Fill test
  
  Risks to be assessed with rMPP
- 11:20 → 11:40
  
  MD#7008: Validation of method to measure aperture margin between IR6 and TCTs with non-nominal phase advance 20m
  
  Speaker: Cedric Hernalsteens (CERN)
