Monday • Recover after trip of RB.A81 Cause of the trip not clear. MP3? • 09:00-13:00 Re-inject and Injection verification. In parallel investigations on the injection pulse inhibit occurred on Sunday • 13:00-15:00 Pre-cycle of S12 after power cycle of nQPS crate B10L2 needs to be power cycled to re-establish local communication. • 15:00-17:00 Work in the injectors to adjust intensity, transverse, longitudinal parameters. RE-optimization of the scraping in the SPS to reduce losses (20% of beam lost) • 17:00 Beams dumped during injection of last but one 24 bunch train of B1 (losses on TCTH.4L2.B1) • 17:00-19:00 Reduction of the transverse blow-up in PS and SPS • 21:20 Stable beams #1408 Finally some physics!! • 07:00 End of physics #1408 (~2.4-2.5 pb-1 in 9.6 h) for vernier scans • 07:30 Beam dump • 08:30 Access
Injection • TI8 resteered in H and V to optimise losses and injection oscillations - corrected back to the reference and the injection looked good - IQC all green for 24b, oscillations below 0.5 mm • TI2 looks fine in steering - the -1.25 mm bump is left in through the MSI. Large oscillations in V as a result. • Checked effects of moving in some TI2 screens, on losses in MSI, with TCDIs out • Confirm the request to check locally the alignment of the MSI, especially in the region of transition between MSIB and MSIA.

Injection kicker pulse inhibit • Drift of LHC timing wrt SPS timing due to GPS time reference. • LHC RF prepulse generation is based on SPS timing, but MKI resonant charging start is based on LHC timing. • Timing drift introduced a delay of roughly 200us on LHC injection forewarning (-1000ms) wrt RF injection prepulse. Problem disappeared after re-synchronization of the machines on Monday at 3 AM Sat 09/10 Sun 10/10 Ph. Baudrenghien, E. Carlier, J. Kozsar, N. Magnin
Injection kicker pulse inhibit • Actions: • Verification by expert of the status of the synchronization before injection (done for the past fill) • Replacement of the GPS timing receiver this morning • Other actions under study: • pulse (instead of the LHC timing) to start charging the PFN, making the scheme more robust we should go for that • extraction inhibit when injection pulse is inhibited
