OMC updates before summer
Present: Lukas, Andreas, David, Jaime, Lukas, Felix, Tobias, Ana, Ewen
Jaime, beta-beating in Hi-Lumi
Adding K-modulation to the segment-by-segment improves considerably from only phase. Preliminary an improvement is observed correction backwards and forwards simultaneously. Tobias: simultaneous corrs for various beta*.

Felix, K-mod and coupling
C- is very important for K-modulation measurements. How big is C-?
Use rms noise from SVD clean to estimate largest coupling amplitude (Lukas has new SVD clean / BPM)? Or use Drive output? -> estimate of errors in case
We should minimize C-! Systematic Errors in coupling.
A tilt of Q1 also affects betas at the 0.3% level (single Q1).

Ana, beta from amplitude, balistic and 2.5km
Still a 100m error bar in N-BPM method.
Bad phase measurements are clearly related to bad signals. -> need report
Maybe the beta from amp improves by few % the accuracy (from 6 to 4 or so).
Results are without cleaning BPMs -> Redo after cleaning!

Andreas, NBPM
Check with Jaime how to decide what a BPM is.
Check the actual T matrix with Andy's.
---> Few bad BPM combinations --> New formula
###########################################
Benoit, MCS
Excellent data. The arc without MCS powered clearly seen, the tunes cross.
Non-linearities in horizontal tune more pronounced.
Ewen: Change in Q''x of 800.
