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

      Today's chair : Giuseppe & Martin

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

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

      User Reports / Overview :

      Follow up : Stop of CO2.

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

      ATLAS-MM :  (Alain)

      the plan for this week and next one is the following:

      2 chambers available at CERN, could be transported to GIF for Friday, but unsure.

      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.

      ATLAS - sTGC : (Yan) 2 chambers installed inside bunker, flushing on CO2. Some boxes in preparation area.
      No testing until end of next week.

      CMS-CSC:  (Katerina) One setup moved closer to source (≈70cm). CSC user will be on exception list.
      2nd chamber to be moved on bunker upstream.

      Potential damage from the CO2 cut ?  - Cooling will be moved to the infrastructure line tomorrow.

      EP-DT1:  (Mara) Currently out of cone,  on hold until situation clears.

      EP-DT2 :  (Mara) People will not be on site, but chamber keeps irradiating.

      CMS-DT:  (Barbara) Rails installed back. Electronic racks to be finished.
      Work will intensify around 16 March.  Chambers to be installed in the bunker prop. by June.

      EcoGas : Probably will be off. To be confirmed.

      CMS-RPC :   iRPC will stay for another week.   (to be updated )

      Cosmic (scintillators) Trolley :
       
      Facing  several  technical problem with the electronics we are testing. Plan to finalize  the measurements until next Tuesday. Source off today during the access, at 46000  in the upstream this evening when the source will be on, until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow we ll need 4 hours of scan in the afternoon if possible.
      Friday afternoon or evening and Saturday : 4.6
      Sunday 6.9
      Monday   - Tuesday  3.3
      END of the measurements Tuesday afternoon.
      We ll  move this setup out of the bunker  next Wednesday
       
      Trolley 1 and 3 :
       
      It will stay in the bunker with  the default abs  2.2
       

      ATLAS-RPC: (not present, but report) - BIS78 one setup to come back in 1-2 weeks
      ATL-RPC high rate small prototype disconnected, outside bunker for the moment.

        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).
