Schmidt to prepare and estimate the time required for hardware commissioning • In the Christmas break (9 weeks) • At the end of the 2010-2011 run • The next Christmas break will be dedicated to priority 1 items (safety of people and equipment) • Other measurements studies may be accommodated inside the schedule Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
Christmas break planning. S. Baird LMC: June 3rd 2010
Hardware commissioning 2009 • Only issues critical for 5TeV have been solved. • Remaining issues will need to be solved at the end of the run • Training of main magnets • Training of correctors (MQTs, RCS, etc.) • MCBY I_PNO limitation • ...? Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
Shutdown 2011-2012 • A the end of the 2010-2011 run, a long shutdown is foreseen to repair the 13kA splices • Anything else potentially needing consolidation should be tested before warming-up • MCBYs performance problem • QH missing in MQXA • 600 A ramp rate and acceleration problems • ...? Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
Circuit modifications, new requirements • EE delays • Snubber capacitors • nQPS for IPQ and IT • Feedback loops • 600 A nominal operation for some correctors • ...? Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
ELQA • Some additional tests will be also required by EI/ELQA before warm-up • HV tests of the 600 A circuits • 600 A local measurements • Transfer functions of RCBY circuits Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
Conclusions • Some test may be advanced and done in Christmas break • Only if they do not endanger the equipment • Input needed from YOU to fill the list We should not forget any test and find out after re-closing the machine, that a circuit is not working properly and that a consolidation* is required. *hardware change, QPS change, splice problem... Monday Morning Meeting : 3rd of May 2010
Procedures • Hardware commissioning procedures still in the MP3 mandate • Need to be updated • For current test performed during the last HWC campaign • For circuit modifications done during the run • For QPS IST with current • Are the editors still available?
