ETLT Injection test in Sector 2-3 Stopping the beam Stefano Redaelli
Injection test in Sector 2-3 • Main objectives: • Injection • Energy matching • Dispersion measurement • Aperture scans • Trajectory corrections • Intensity threshold for BPM system • BLM measurements • …
Injection test in Sector 2-3 • Tests with beam (single bunch) • Pilot Beam for the most part: • single bunch of 5 - 10 x 109 protons • Beam emittance: 1 µm • Momentum spread: nominal • Nominal tunes, nominal magnetic machine • Total intensity injected: • 1 x 1013 protons
Injection test in Sector 2-3 • Trajectory measurements and corrections
Injection test in Sector 2-3 • Aperture scans
Main issues relevant for MPP • First beam induced quench in RB
Main issues relevant for MPP • Induced quenches in 600A circuits due to FPA
Main issues relevant for MPP • QH Power Supply in RB • Replacement needed • First intervention in the tunnel with RP team • Trip of RQT13 • Discharge of QH in RQD
Summary • The sector test has to be regarded as very successful • Essential step towards circulating beams and the LHC startup • MPP contribution • MPP has significantly improved efficiency of the injection test in sector 1-2 • Contribution was appreciated by other participating teams • Very useful exercise for participating MPP experts
