      sTGC with one electronic test chamber - 1 month test, running
                   2h filter scan  (range 2.2-1) upstream Friday and Monday (at 15h)


      sTGC Productiuon :  return beginning of March

      CMS-RPC : EcoGas - 5h of source OFF measurements on WED access
                          
      CMS-RPC trolley 1&3 : Wednesday 13th measurements started for  5 night campaign, stable condition 6.9 stable. 4.6 att. only for 5 min during the whole test


      EP-DT2  : no more source scan needed. Measurements will continue with the GC.

      LHCb +  setup from upstream removed completely.   
      CMS-CSC small prototype moved back to downstream in the CMS-CSC trolley



      CMS-GEM 1&2


      EP-DT1 : need some access (30 min) after the meeting to check some issue with Ar supply 

      ATLAS-RPC - 2 setups, IMPACT now available.
               Today THU 14th :  after EP-DT (1.30 pm) 2h scans with multiple source off and stops. To be done before 5pm
               

      CMS-DT MB 1&2 

      CMS-CSC: using GC 

      EN-CV and ATLAS-NSW  samples installed on CMS-GEM (passive irradiation)

      EN-CV samples removed on Monday 11th instead ATL-NSW samples still in. To be remove next week.

      Mass Production Tests & Long Term Campaigns - General Items 5m

      General planning for long term campaigns.

    • 09:40 09:50
      New requests for tests at GIF 10m

      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. -> finished ?

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

      Infrastructure & Upgrades to the Facility 10m

      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

      • LS2 restrictions & interventions 5m
      • Bunker Extension Project 10m

        News about the ongoing bunker extension

        Bunker extension :

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

        Bunker layout frozen, work started already.

        Next step : Re-arrange wall behind electrical switchboard 
        -> Announce power cut NEXT WEDNESDAY 13.02 at 9h for less than 2h.                                                                                   ->Due to a problem with a breaker upstream, the facility couldn't be restarted before 03.40 pm

        Currently estimated start : Either early July or early September.  (before or after August)
        If we want July, we have to push now.

      • IMPACTS for 2019 5m

        Guidelines for filling in IMPACT requests

        List of active IMPACT declarations : https://impact.cern.ch/impact/secure/activities/accessPoint/YDALC02-PPE154

        General Guideline : One IMPACT per setup.

         

        • two chambers on individual supports -> 2 IMPACT declarations
        • multiple chambers swapped on same or similar support -> one IMPACT declaration
        • basically, if you need two locations, please make two IMPACT declaration (clone)

        Each Setup should have IMPACT label attached with number.
        Attached documents : CAD file  or  picture.
        Review working hours : if your declaration includes the bunker area, please state the number of hours you want to stay INSIDE the bunker only (for RP purposes).

        NEW IMPACT needed for 2019 !

      • New Announcements 5m
      • AOB 5m

        Issue with ligth.  Button near access door should enable the light for additional 2h.
        We plan to keep the light over the GIF area active in the near future (change by EN-EL needed) -> NOT FEASABLE

        Locked door on Saleve side.
        Proposal top remove the cylinder to avoid the guard locking the door during night times.  -> Cylinder HAS BEEN REMOVED
