Weekly summary and plan for the next week :

Problems with DIP values - SOLVED for the moment.
sTGC request : alarm on CO2 flow - DONE

 ------------------------

ALICE arrived with 3 x 2 chambers,
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 (not needed this week)
                (this week in the afternoon due to ATL-MM 13h-15h)
Will continue until Mid-February.

sTGC with one electronic test chamber - 1 month test, running
              3 x 4h filter scan  (range 100-1) upstream Today after ATLAS-MM / Sunday afternoon / Tuesday afternoon
sTGC Productiuon : 2 chambers QS2 production chamber in upstream position to be remmoved
                                  return beginning of March

ATLAS-MM :   MM SM2 detector in the bunker since today Wednesday
                          upstream scan at 9:30AM [Thursday].
                          ==> 20 min at each filter and in between a 46000 attenuation [333] for 5 minutes
                          50 / 20 / 10 / 6.9 / 4.6 / 2.1 / 1.5   - should be finished @2pm latest.
                          access after scan to move chamber.

CMS-RPC : installation of electronics for EcoGas, installation of 3 chambers in Trolley 3.
                    Currently using the default gas mixture for 1-2 weeks.

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  will move in 1-2 weeks back to downstream

CMS-GEM 1&2

EP-DT1

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

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

        3 h  filter scan downstream (15 to higher) - to be checked with upstream stable filter scans.         

CMS-CSC + LHCb  : starting next week regular Thursday filter scans downstream 6.9, typically 10-18h.

EN-CV and ATLAS-NSW  samples installed on CMS-GEM (passive irradiation)
We will check for shadowing next week.

 

09:35 → 09:40 Mass Production Tests & Long Term Campaigns - General Items

General planning for long term campaigns.

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

introduction, goal of the test, plan, needs

EcoRPC-Gas chambers to be tested with new mixture for RPCs.
- Discussion about mixer rack 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.

Upcoming BE-BI : test of  XBPF in 100Gy steps. Starting in Summer.

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 :
==========

 

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
