Thursday 24 Jan 2019, 09:15 → 10:45 Europe/Zurich

892/1-B09 (CERN)

Giuseppe Pezzullo (CERN), Martin Richard Jaekel (CERN), Federico Ravotti (CERN)

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

GIFDay01.jpg

Weekly summary and plan for the next week :

Freon for RPC community - problem in gas barrack. Ventilation failed, in combination with low level the pressure could not be stable.

sTGC  - problem with CO2 interlock. top of gas rack. (to be typed)

Problems with DIP values - linked to announced interventions by BE-CO and restarting of server infrastructure.

sTGC request : alarm on CO2 flow, we check with EP-DT-DI

 ------------------

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 
                (this week in the afternoon due to ATL-MM 13h-15h)
Will continue until Mid-February.

sTGC with one test chamber - 1 month test, running
    2 chambers QS2 production chamber in upstream position
    next week the 2 will be removed again

ATLAS-MM :   Today chamber arrives in preparation zone.
                          If fine, chamber enters on Monday 9h-10h
                          Tues 4 h scan : 5 filters 50->1, followed by short access

CMS-RPC : installation of electronics for EcoGas, installation of 2 chambers on last 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 18 h)
        will continue with different att factors for the next 2 weeks.
 

LHCb + CMS-CSC small prototype.

CMS-GEM 1&2

EP-DT1

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.  will be OFF afterwards.
          

CMS-CSC + LHCb  (IMPACT for LHCb missing)
          Waiting for end of CMS-DT.
          move MiniCSC back to downstream next Wednesday.

Pb blocks stored on the outside.

 

Today filter scan : Upstream 100

                              Downstream CMS-DT  

09:25 → 09:40 Mass Production Test Schedule

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

introduction, goal of the test, plan, needs

SPSXBH4_0076 XBPF FIBRE V3 SET.pdf

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

10:00 → 10:30 Announcements
