Tevatron Startup Activities September 4, 2009
Cryo Status • All houses at LN2 tempsexcept D1 and E1 (room temp). • E1 and D1 are signed off for cooldown. • CHL has full load of helium. • Cryo system has been fighting hydrocarbon contamination problems in E, F and A sectors (Pbar too). • Serious controls issue where all cold cathodes in a house may read nearly equal good values.
Tunnel Work • Tunnel work is mostly complete. • F-sector Electrical walkthroughs done Thursday. • Rest of Walkthroughs will be done soon. • Stacking D0 shielding blocks Tuesday. • Lowpot looks good – Hipot when full of liquid helium.
Beam Preparation • DFG file will be only slightly modified from last store. • New Automatic Injection closure aggregate will probably be ready for startup. • Startup activities should consist of just general tune up and measurements. • Seperator turn on and conditioning progressing.
