GIF++ installation and schedule meeting
Hello Martin, Giuseppe,
Meeting is just over, here a short summary:
1) Access of yesterday went well: new setup ATLAS TGCs was fit in in the tiny available space – at 18h00 GIF++ was ready to take beam;
2) The accelerator complex had troubles yesterday afternoon and the beam was back only today early morning. However since the access, our source has 2 VETOs applied and could not be restarted – Katerina is checking now with the CCC to try to solve this;
3) Once the source problem is solved there will be 2h when LHCb and Mara need to do some tests with source and beam ON/OFF in alternate way – they will coordinate among them;
4) For the muon beam time, we will inform Nikos at 11h00 that the GIF++ users will call him if they have troubles to load/find the “good” beam configuration files in CESAR;
5) ACCESS OF NEXT WEEK:
a. Salvador may need to remove 2 of his setups and to do this he wants to “park” his Trolley 3 keeping it inside GIF++ (along a wall). To remove this trolley other setup would need to move out and we do not want this.
i. We agreed that it is OK to keep the trolley inside, if it is positioned such as it does not forbid passage of people. Since it will be most likely next to a gas patch-panel, it can also be flushed while parked.
ii. Salvador will confirm on Monday if he needs to do this.
b. No handling by transport people is requested for next week.
6) AGREEMENT WITH RD51 (parasite user during GIF++ main user beam time):
a. There was an e-mail circulating that you may have seen already;
b. The RD51 people will access (if they need) only twice a day for 30minutes (8h30-9h00 and 18h00-18h30). They will call the GIF++ CR (then Katerina or Salvador) to announce their need. Then the other GIF++ users will be informed via the e-log.
c. GIF++ users they will meet twice per day in the CR (10h30 and 18h00) and in the afternoon also the RD51 colleagues will join.
d. RD51 asks for 2 shifts with high intensity pions (max. 9e3 pions/spill, focused beam, to avoid the radiation alarm). This is agreed and compatible with GIF++ requirements – still not known when this will happen.
7) Salvador needs to make some runs with source + beam overnight (00h00 to 8h00) with several accesses after Monday. It seems OK for the other users and an ATLAS setup (Giulio I believe ...) will join the same type of test;
8) YAN:
a. He informed that the chiller for the n-pentane his broken and thus he cannot run his setup for the time being. He contacted F. Merlet: the DT gas team has no spares for this – they are trying to solve the problem.
b. Once this will be repaired they can start working but this will not require to them to really access the GIF++ bunker.
9) FEDERICO – I informed about:
a. Providing information about gas needs during LS2 latest next week.
b. Reminded about the DSO test in EHN1 on Monday 27th.
c. The update of SIR website on September 5th (in that days can be difficult to pass on-line safety courses).
10) QUESTION:
a. Users noticed a new DIP link in the new webpage made to retrieve data from TIMBER. The question is if now the data available in DIP provided by us are reliable and can be already used ?
In case I overlooked or misunderstood something Salvador or Katerina will (please) correct me J
Cheers,
Federico
