        We finished the run yesterday morning. We are switching to lead beam to perform few tests without magnets. We got beam slot until Aug 11.

        There was a power cut on July 23. There was an alarm in our area connected with a leak from our MRPC system. Fire Brigade was called, they came, asked for an evacuation. After their intervention many of our machines were off. It is not clear that the power went off as a manual switch of the circuit. We are trying to clarify this.

        Cryo experts started working on the magnets. They have a long list of tests and checks to perform while the system still operates in cold mode.

        We have two or three big wooden crates containing our recently used targets (that we plan to use again after LS3). We would like to store them somewhere.

        There is a (water?) pipe traced just above the floor nearby entrance to PPE152. That pipe appeared to be a big obstacle during two failures of our magnet power converters. Are there any possibilities to trace it in a different way?

      - Short update from start of LS3 for HI-ECN3

      Speaker: Claudia Ahdida

      1. ESP discussions:

       - C2E nominated for Experimental Area, not officially appointed. Not expected to be operational before 1 September 2026 (TBC with Sebastien).
       - HSE proposal for “temporary” procedures for areas without C2E presented at  LS3C on 29 July 2026; optimistically a “temporary” procedure might be approved 12 August 2026
       - We go ahead as usual for lockout and access following discussion with HSE until advised otherwise
       - Aim for 1 September 2026 to start working with the EA C2E; we will agree handover/start of C2E together with BE-EA
       - Mise hors tension partielle being prepared for week of 6 October, following safe removal of LKr to its new storage facility outside EHN1.
       - All activities are risk assessed for electrical safety risks (see below) with lockout and verification of absence of voltage made in each case.
       - EP ESO supporting electrical safety for EP activities (including external users) on-site

       2. Start of ECN3 shutdown works this week:

       - Works start 3rd August in ECN3 under coordination of HI-ECN3 PID team:
      - IMPACT approval modified accordingly
      - Normal NA62 experiment shutdown activities and limited NA62 dismantling activities
      - Lockouts have been requested as usual for shutdown, e.g. beam line magnets
      - Additional lockouts are being carried out systematically for each approved and risk assessed activity to guarantee LKr system is not tripped
      - All activities have WPA and PPSPS
      - VIC performed by HI-ECN3 project Safety Coordinator before works start
      - EDMS 3502579: memo for IMPACT access request changes shared with NA62 spokesperson (attached, please feel free to circulate)
      - We switch to Category 1 worksite next week once NA62 shutdown activities are completed:
      - Looking for urgent solution this week to allow piquet interventions once a Cat 1 worksite
      - First status update from HI-ECN3 PID Coordination Team at next EACM/EATM.
