2 Mass Production Test Schedule

Upstream field :

ATLAS-MM :   LM2  out   - comes back next year Jan/Feb.
                          SM1 &  SM2  out until Jan.
                          starting from January 4 chambers per months  - 2 / 4 chambers at the same time  ≈ for 1 year.

ALICE TPC : 6 chambers, (3 big, 3 small)  - 2 at the same time, swap takes 45 minutes.
                moving to test 2 big chambers in parallel
               test restarted (unshadowed)
               Total 20-30 (aiming for 6 per week,  1 day flushing, few hours for testing)  - 5 weeks

Downstream :

CMS-DT  1/15 campaign until January.

ATLAS - sTGC :  5-6 chambers should arrive beginning of mid January - half an hour for each chamber

          (might be better compatible with upstream)

          In addition : 1 chamber currently flushed in the preparation area, to be moved into the upstream area next week. (to be confirmed on Monday)

                        

 

ATLAS-RPC : two gas gap chamber arrived, to stay for January.

3 New requests for tests at GIF

introduction, goal of the test, plan, needs

ALICE - FE Electronic upgrade. To be defined.

Eco-Gas chambers to be tested with new mixture for RPCs.
- Starting from Mid-January with first chamber. 
- New gas rack to be installed tomorrow in the gas area

4 Infrastructure & Upgrades to the Facility

Improvements needed or planned for the facility.

Speakers: Giuseppe Pezzullo (CERN), Martin Richard Jaekel (CERN)

New Items :
==========

CERN wide power cut on 19.12 - 6h.

New transformer substation test BE2.  In the morning, lasting 1h.
Small, but non zero risk (1-2%) of a complete power-cut of max 2 minutes (operator on site).

Update / Restart of the BE/CO infrastructure. 21-23.01

 

 

Ongoing Projects :

NEW retrieval of TIMBER values : Work in progress, but already available in beta version
https://epdtdi-pytimber.web.cern.ch/app/gifpp (also linked from main GIF page.

Additional values need to be collected/republished ?
        - REMUS  - to be included in GIF Display
        - XTDV - to be included in pytimber only
