Various • Recall: LS1 plan to consolidate trigger control, throttling, and distribution systems into one Trigger and Clock Distribution System (TCDS) • Subsystem input at meeting 1 April (https://indico.cern.ch/event/310364/) • Summary of concerns from subsystems • Upgrade not as transparent as they were led to believe (some work involved) • The time schedule is late (installation in August) • It’s not going to work out of the box (little expertise left in subsystems to commission) • Need to sit with TCDS experts to hash these things out… • Assembled “to do” list for Run Coord. team based on mtgs w/subsystems • https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/CMSRucoP2PSummary • My list of things to do is on the last page… • Assembling info for CMS input to LHC Beam Operations Workshop • CMS input = statements on bunch spacing, pileup limitations, levelingmethods, special runs, beam energy, bunch length, non-colliding bunches… • Initial chat w/ATLAS Run Coordinator: ATLAS input similar to CMS • To be discussed and made official at CMS XC meeting on Friday 11 April G.

Not just attending meetings and making lists… I wrote a script! • Script to generate emails to institution leaders (e.g., Jay and Bob) about # of central shifts expected and # performed • Gets input from few web pages… • Number of authors per institute (this was not easy to find!) • Name of Collaboration Board representatives • Name(s) of deputies • Number of credits already performed • Need input from Paris Sphicas to “personalize” the email… • Jay said Paris did a nice job in the Publications Committee to personalize their emails • Don’t want it to look like an automatically generated email, if possible • Need to run the email past Spokespeople to give it the “OK” • I expect an email of facts should be relatively easy to get the “OK” G.

To do • April Global Run: 7 – 11 April • https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/viewauth/CMS/AprilGlobalRun2014 • Sort out what is happening with shift administration • Andrea won’t be extended past October… then what? • Work out LHC/CMS handshake schedule • Technical Coordination, BRIL, … • My items from RC to-do list • Clean up sources to "action list" from the meetings • Make sure that HF is fine as min-bias trigger for low lumi • Come up with best guess-timates for integrated and instantaneous luminosity during LHC startup • Monitor TCDS developments/scheduling • Follow up problems w/ECAL laser calibration data xferto Tier-0 • Follow up SCAL FED G.
