      Review of last week operation & plans for this week 20m

      Remember to put e-log messages when you turn ON/OFF the source, change filter etc.

      User Reports / Overview :

      ----------------------------------

      ATLAS-MM :  Long term chamber installed (LM2 (Pos,D02)), will stay for a few months.

      Wednesday, 2 new large detectors to installed normally.
      New detectors are expected every Wednesday. Running from pre-mixed bottle (bank).

      Discussion : Possible installation of 1 full assembled sector in Upstream. ≈ Feb. for 2 months.
      Will be clarified in the coming weeks.

      Katerina checked the cables/pipes and there is the possibility to move her setup close to the source by 50cm.
      In three weeks time, asking EP-DT to move a bit closer to the source, to allow using a small sTGC chamber as monitor.

      ATLAS - sTGC :  2 chambers installed inside bunker. We now have chambers for several weeks to test. Details can be seen in the teamup schedule. Currently agreed to host 2-3 boxes in preparation area.

      CMS-CSC:  One setup back in normal position. 
      Setup from preparation area to be moved in Bld. 904 on Friday.

      EP-DT1:   Discussion if possible to move closer. For the moment is fine. No irradiation till mid-March, only source scan every Wednesday. From beginning of March it would be nice to install another setup. Position and installation to check together in the bunker directly.

      EP-DT2 :  Irradiating. Request to have the default value 2.2 upstream as soon as possible. 

      CMS-DT: Rails back installed. Electronic racks to be finished. Cosmic run started on Wed 29th
      Chambers expected to be installed around Mid March.

      EcoGas :  Running.

      CMS-RPC :  iRPC will stay for another month. 
      Trolley 1& 3 in bunker. 
      For this week 4.6 would be preferred. Some scans with higher absorption 6.9/10/46000 for short periods.

      Cosmic trigger activity to continuing. For today there is the need to have a long source scan with different filter attenuation as reported in teamup. So far good results. 

      ATLAS-RPC:   One setup, from BIS78 production, back in the bunker on Monday, profiting of ATL-sTGC access. ATL-RPC high rate small prototype coming end of February.

      LHCb : working on the irradiated prototypes removed from GIF++ some months ago.
      Will be back in GIF++ most probably next year. A standalone gas line/supply will be needed this time.

        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).
