10:20 → 10:30 MD12663: Wire compensation during the beta*-leveling

• Loss maps to be done before. When and approval of it?
• Why does the PCinterlock of the wire need to be masked at 30 cm only? Is this ok with that many bunches?
• Clarify the order of loss maps, change of collimator settings, change of wire settings and scraping.
• Masking of interlocks to be defined for each step.

Speaker: Guido Sterbini (CERN)

10:35 → 10:45 MD12723: HL-LHC optics cycle (part II)

• Clarify number of pilots and total intensity for validation
• Specify tools to be used for optics measurements (AC-dipole etc.)
• Third ramp with loss maps, can take two nominals and pilots to stay below 3e11 total. However, aperture checks with nominals is risky.

Speakers: Riccardo De Maria (CERN), Rogelio Tomas Garcia (CERN), Tobias Hakan Bjorn Persson (CERN)

10:50 → 11:00 MD12844: Faser background mitigations

• Clarify the masking in the procedures, including collimator threshold.
• Detail the rotation of the crossing angle, including which tools to be used.
• Change of beam flags and interlocks should be YES

Speaker: Bjorn Hans Filip Lindstrom (University of London (GB))
