Monday 2.8.
● Analysis of the noisy spectra observed at injection and flat-top:– The peaks observed are exact harmonics of 50 Hz extending up to 4 kHz– Instrumental?– The noise seems to be lower in the BBQ pick-up for on-demand
measurements
8:30 meeting 5
![Page 6: Week 31](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681613f550346895dd0ab96/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
● Test Ramp for operation optimization with 2 nominal bunches:– Beams lost during squeeze at b* = 7m
● Goal for test ramp with 2 bunches for operation optimizations:– A: Damper and tune feedback optimization:
– Test of the Q feedback with different PC regulation loop to reduce noise ✔ – Transverse feedback tests at injection (0.5 hours) Not yet done– Hump investigations (~1.5 hours) Not yet done
– B: Ramp and squeeze optimization:– Incorporate Q and Orbit FB feed forward into ramp. ✔– Establish better end-squeeze to collision sequence/settings. Not yet done– Clean orbit in stable beams (ALICE H plane,..). Not yet done– Check TCTs. Not yet done– Collimator loss maps. Not yet done– Beam dump validation (Dump with RF OFF) Not yet done

● Tuesday to Wednesday night:– Physics fill with 25 nominal bunches with inverted sign of tune split; – Problems related to losses during over-injection into LHC– Initial peak luminosity of 2.8 1030 cm-2 sec-1; fill lost due to patrol box in IR1
● Wednesday morning: optimization of losses during injection:– Single bunch has very good trajectory and no losses in the TL.– Over-injection with 4 bunches leads to losses that dump the beam trajectory
changes by ca. 0.2mm over all cases (1 to 4 bunch injection); trimmed SPS RF frequency (10 Hz);
Decided to correct trajectory in both lines back to reference using upstream correctors (0.6mm rms) (origin of change not understood?). Revalidation of TCDI settings.– Change of some BLM thresholds;

Thursday 5.8.● Go to adjust mode for end of coast study● Swap H/V tunes for B2 (crossing coupling resonance) in order to

Pending● Tests:
– New BLM Firmware tests– Delay of the PM trigger of the BLM system to be set back BLM team
ready only next week– Loss maps, orbit clean-up and TCT verifications
● Requiring access:– Repair COD MCBH.18R7.B2– CV need to replace a motorization of the water valve of the sector 56 -
not urgent– Time estimate ~3 hours
– Access team to replace oxydized connectors for PAD-PX24 in case of stop (3 hours)
– Magnetic probes in the machine for the studies related to the hump - access in point 5 (GA, LW) – 3 hours
![Page 32: Week 31](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5681613f550346895dd0ab96/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
● Open Issues:– Clogging of CMS cryo filters not yet understood– QPS boards: several boards had to switch from channel A to B.– BLM racks (in buildings SR1 and SR5 and both at position BY02): would like to
correct the way the power cable for the multi-plug arrives inside the rack. – Ion pumps in dump line MKB (B2 only 4 out of 8 pumps working; few days
intervention, next TS)
– Origin – cause of the beam losses that terminated 2 of the best runs (beam-beam?; coherent versus incoherent?).
– Bunch-to-Bunch diagnostics would be very helpful!
● Week 32:– Malika and Jörg
