09:15 → 09:25 Review of last week operation & plans for this week

GIFDay01-1.jpg

Weekly summary and plan for the next week :

ALICE arrived with 8 chambers, 2 in irradiation, 6 in corridor.
Friday, Saturday, Monday  :   8h30 Measurement with att. 1 then 1h access (9h30-10h30)
Tuesday : 8h30-9h30 att.1 for 1h, otherwise 2.2 in upstream field
Will continue until Mid-February (one week gap, with no chambers)

sTGC with one test chamber - 1 month test, running
 - Upstream chamber QL1 taken out to preparation area
    2 chambers QS1 QS3 production chamber in upstream position
    (next Wednesday 2 x QS2 will come instead)

CMS-RPC : installation of electronics for EcoGas, installation of chambers will happen next Wednesday.
Currently using the default gas mixture.

CMS-RPC trolly 1&3

EP-DT2  & CMS-RPC :

       for the next days - repeatedly : 2h measurement with att. 100, then 2h no measurement (until 21h)
        will continue with different att factors for the next 2 weeks.

LHCb + CMS-CSC small prototype

ATLAS-MM :   LM2  out   - comes back next year Jan/Feb.
                          Starting from 23 January  (latest 30.1),  2 chambers returning. In upstream area  U1
                          5 filters 50->1 (= one morning).

CMS-GEM 1&2

EP-DT1
CMS-CSC

ATLAS-RPC - 2 setups, IMPACT missing   -
next 6 weeks :  Wednesday 3 short accesses with after Source ON within 3h - after access day.

CMS-DT MB 1&2 - to stop on 30.01 with 1/15 irradiation.
 

CMS-CSC + LHCb  (IMPACT for LHCb missing)

Pb blocks stored on the outside.

 

09:25 → 09:40 Mass Production Test Schedule

Upstream field :

ATLAS-MM :   LM2  out   - comes back next year Jan/Feb.
                          Starting from 23 January  (latest 30.1),  2 chambers returning. In upstream area  U1
                          5 filters 50->1 (= one morning).
 

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-sTGC: downstream,  starting next week, half a day full field
                         swap to be synchronised with ALICE                  

 

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

09:40 → 09:50 New requests for tests at GIF

introduction, goal of the test, plan, needs

Tête de cable.pdf

ALICE - FE Electronic upgrade. To be defined.

EcoRPC-Gas chambers to be tested with new mixture for RPCs.
- Discussion about installation ongoing.
 

Test of sealing material / EN-CV for HL-LHC.
One copper piece with pipes connected, expected to receive 10Gy, to be tested for 100Gy.

09:50 → 10:00 Infrastructure & Upgrades to the Facility

Improvements needed or planned for the facility.

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

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

Bunker extension :

==============

Bunker layout frozen,  final shape of roof will depend on available blocks.
Schedule floating, depending on availability of EN services.
Currently estimated start : Early July.
 

Ongoing Projects :
=============

Correction of Irradiator Signals after power cut.
Since installation of UPS, the Irradiator signals UNSAFE after a power cut, independently if the source was ON or OFF at the time. In reality, source will always be in safe position after power cut. Power cycle controls in control room to get correct status.

 

PyTIMBER :

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