v3.3.2-pre
PS status (D. Cotte): 95% uptime. A magnet in T10 required access to the primary area. TOF beam reached nominal.
SPS status (K. Cornelis): FT beam for physics were delivered from Monday evening. Operations are hindered by the problematic readout of the BLMs in TT20 and LHC extractions. Suspected his the hardware and firmware update during the last YETS. An access for this was needed on Tuesday. Some RF problems at restarting after the access.
EAST AREA
CHARM & IRRAD (G. Pezullo): Samples for RD50, EP/DT and TE groups installed. Power converters test in CHARM. Starting irradiations for the users.
T9 ARIADNE (K. Mavrokoridis): See slides. 200k events collected at each beam polarity. The detector will be moved out on 17/04. It will stay in the hall to evaporate the Ar. It will take ~4 weeks.
T9 AZALEA (A. Rummler): Will need to install the telescope. Will coordinate with the transport when to best use the crane, which is mostly used by the scaffolding installation.
T10 TOF & ITS (C. Williams, P. Martinengo): Successful run of TOF. TOF will likely be the main user during the upcoming ITS run.
T10 CBM-PSD (F. Guber): Tests of new FE electronics. Some beam-time let to the magnet work in T10.
NTOF:
experiment on Zn68 in Ear1, Ear2 not yet used. A short access to the facility will be performed.
NORTH AREA
H2 HERD-FIT: Installing, starting with beam this afternoon.
H2: NA62-GTK (M. Now, see slides): test of irradiated sensors and prototype sensors. D. Lazic suggest they install on the platform in front of the M1 magnet.
H4: NA63 good beam, but wrong polarity. was changed by the users to negative.
H4: CMS Ecal (A. Singovki): Setup reinstalled. Survey results show everything back place within 0.6mm.
H6: CLICpix (D. Dannheim): Some problem with the telescope motion stage. beam steered on the telescope. This will be fixe and nominal beam trajectory will be used. A. Rummler brought up AIDA and ACONITE telescope working. CMS OT will need rotation stage and FEI4 trigger plane. More trigger planes were provided by A. Macchiolo, enough to equip each telescope.
H6 CMS OT (A. Nurnberg via e-mail): here is a quick report on the preparations for the CMS OT beam test in H6 starting on Monday. Most of us will only arrive on the weekend. We will be testing the MPA macro pixel chip for the CMS Outer Tracker PS modules with non irradiated silicon sensors in the Mimosa telescope in H6B. Preparations are on track, both on mechanics and DAQ. We will start installing our setup in the telescope on Monday morning. We submitted an ISIEC form (#323), although I’m not sure if the safety visit is needed when using an already installed telescope.
H8: UA9 (M. Garattini): Ok, the beam divergence is a bit wide.
H8: Totem (M Bozzo): Needed to dismount some upstream beam counters, in order to use a laser alignment system.
NA62 (D. Soldi): Detector OK. First kaons were tagged. Magnet needs degaussing, then alignment. This will be done at next MD.
NA58 (V. Andrieux): OK, parasitic users (mu-e, proton radius installed and NA64 will be leaving next week).
AWAKE: Absent.
SAFETY (A. Desmarest): No issues at hand.
