B-Train Kick-off meeting

Present: Miguel, Martin, Alberto, Unai, Carlo, Matthias, Marco

Transfer lines: Alberto will come back from a discussion from Mathew phraser on Friday to decide what to do

PSB: NMR cleanup, FMR recabling, amplifiers, chassis. UNai: Worth checking to redo it in a better way

PS: Fluxmeter: Ongoing development, green light from Attilio. Check if we can install fluxmeter parasitically

SPS: Check if it is possible to power during LS3

LEIR: Check, given the model if there are points for additional sensors to fully validate the model in order to get the integral from the model.

LEIR: Check run with different ion types

ISOLDE: Slow control, no need for new electronics.  Action: Firgure out who is implementing the FGC control Ready by Q4 2027 (either reimplement HRS class with new FGC, or new control) Additional: Continuous RT control for R&D. See available ressources (FTE?). Decide what to do with ISOLDE money (electronics, People)

Transferlines: Alberto checks what sensors need to be done.

Instrumentation: SPS fluxmeter as backup, not baseline

Action: Buy DI/OT

 

15:30 → 15:50 B-Train End of Run and LS3 general timeline
