Miniworkshop on PS Main Magnet Field issues

Friday 24 Feb 2012, 14:00 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

Following issues observed on the PS main B-field stability and reproducibility, during normal beam operation and MTE machine studies, many measurements and studies have been made in order to gain better understanding of these issues. The proposed mini-workshop aims at putting together and share all the knowledge gained from the different, more or less recent, measurements and studies. Consequently an efficient action plan can be put together with the aim to identify one or more mitigation strategies.
