  1. PIP Update April 3rd 2013

  2. Agenda • Summary Update • Current Activities/Updates • Startup Plans • Upcoming Talks, Reports, Meetings Updates/Talks: • Trevor Butler - Linac Modulator Prototyping • Yuri Alexahin - Plans for Booster Studies (transition crossing, synchro-betatron coupling)

  3. Update General Info • Booster Beam: Running at reduced levels – need more RF! • Studies are underway: • Apertures / Orbit Smoothing will continue – more magnet moves in future (Kiyomi) • Optics correction for the next two weeks (Megan,Eliana,Yuri,Tan,Marsh,Kent) • Booster SS: Stations are operating – controls / shunt problems • PIP accounts should no longer be used (Ann – working on closing out accounts) • Booster RF cavity rework – RF1 work nearly done – testing? • Cavity from RF15 – shipped last week – Front and back tuners off (LCW leak repair, OK) • Spare cavity work – making progress: sanded for better fit, parts in machine shop • Booster RF Cavity 7 (8 also but less) has an RF leak and will likely be removed for repair • Will swap with RF 1 when ready – looks like next week soometime • We will have 17/19 cavities after the next swap (up from 16) – may allow high-intensity • Booster Ferrites • Low Frequency tester – modified: machined for less snug fit, ready for shipping – should test first, Second tester parts are about ready to be assembled… • mu=20 cores have been ordered, Reid has not yet found a old mu=20 core for vendors to use. • RFQ – still waiting on trim / 2ndsource: Trim core will arrive in 3 weeks, then be wound • HLRF – planning site visit at vendor • Linac Modulator –talk • Booster Shielding – Scans have been written up, will be revised and transmitted to ES&H • Booster Transverse damper needs to be re-commissioned, Long damper plans started • MI Startup: New date is 3rd week of June – funding questions still remain… Startup comments (Fernanda, Todd, Mary)
