Stephane Fartoukh
Description
Main points to be addressed:
• MD results (aperture, optics correction, chromatic properties, b reach,
collimation, etc.)
• Is it ready for 2017 physics?
o Any limitation left? (phase advance MKD-TCT, CT-PPS/AFP normalised
dispersion)?
• Improvements or expected-problems with other operation modes:
o High and intermediate b runs (forward physics in 2017 and beyond)
o Ion operation (IP2 squeeze)
• Future MD plans (flat, LR beam-beam compensation with octupoles?)
