14:40 → 14:50 Targets, Schedule and Physics

Speakers: Hanne Heylen (CERN), Isabel Frank (CERN), Matthias Alexander Grasser, Simon Thomas Stegemann (CERN)

Physics

• On HRS, in-source laser spectroscopy of the long chain of 132−153Pm is ongoing using three different experimental setups. Following an emergency target change at the start of the run, the effort of the SY-STI-RBS, SY-STI-LP, BE-OP-ISO meant only a limited delay of the start of the run, which was much appreciated. After resolving some initial experimental issues, the run is now progressing smoothly, and the users are satisfied.

 

Schedule

• Likely that EC-SLI part upcoming GPS can take place
  • Possible to prepare setup up to GHM already tomorrow?
  • Investigate if GHM part could end when HRS already start taking beam (proton sharing) until Friday next week
• New part of the schedule will be release today/tomorrow 
• Conditions to restart GLM need to be defined
