      Plan for next test beam period 20m

      04/08:

      Organise a meeting with RD51 before next Wednesday to decide how to proceed.

      Time slot: 8-16, 16-24, 0-8

      Proposal

      week 1: GIF main user 8-16, RD51 16-24, 0-8 to be discussed

      week 2:  RD51main user 8-16, GIF16-24,  0-8 to be discussed

       

      MINUTES FROM PREVIOUS MEETING:

      Third iteration with RD51

      RD51 agreed that splitting in weeks is not very convenient for them.

      What would work for RD51 is probably having high intensity beam and Goliath off for 50% of the time with adjustment of the real percentage on two/three days scale if there is any.

      We (RD51 & GIF) can start with the idea that Goliath and low intensity beam will be allowed every sixteen hours for max 8 hours: 

      8hours good for gif – 8 hours for RD51 in principle bad for gif – 8hours good for gif – 8 hours for RD51 in principle bad for gif – 8hours good for gif – 8 hours for RD51 in principle bad for gif – etc etc etc…

      According to the users (on both side) we can adjust this and guarantee the 50% in two/three days time. 

       

      :

      First discussion with RD51

      I guess that we agreed that the two separate main/parasitic periods on Aug and Sept/Oct is not possible.

      We will share therefore the two periods in a mode that we will define.

      > correct. This is also my opinion.

      BEAM:

      It would be good if you can check and tell us if it is true what I'm writing

      now:

      "Any high intensity beam is fine with GIF++ if Goliath is off, i.e. high intensity muons beam in H4 with GIF++ in BEAM ON or high intensity pions beam in H4 with GIF++ in BEAM OFF (dump in) are fine."

      > To my knowledge it is correct but I prefer to check with all users. I will confirm to you next Thursday. Is it ok? YES

       

      GOLIATH:

      Even if there is a preferred polarity, the operation in GIF++ with Goliath On is difficult.

      At the end it is easier if we state like this and we can eventually later on investigate this more carefully.

      > ok.

      Plan for next wednesday (MD) / thursday (source scan) 20m

      Katerina is the Run Coordinator

      Operational dosimeter reader did not work yesterday -> sent email to Federico

      If operational dosimeter reader does not work --> go to building 890 or 55

      04/08

      8.30 - 14.00: CSC source scan

      10:00: Access to bunker

      14:00 - 16:00: source off for ATL-MM and ATL-sTGC --> call Katerina to switch on the source

       

      05/08

      10:00 - 14:00: ATL-sTGC source scan. After down-filter 1.

       

      10/08

      Beam-pipe out

      Place scintillators

      CSC will move close to the beam. sTGC to move the their detector according to CSC preference
