Dry Run 0

Dry Run 0

• Week 13
• BI test of...everything circulating beam all
  fixed displays and BI applications
• OP directories for 2009, concentrators running
• Need to have an operational Hyper Cycle (another
  one to test software)
• MCS tests of
• Check all existing critical settings after RBAC
  release
• LHC BLMs, CISx (SMP parameters)....maybe
  collimators
• MKI ExpertSettings and SoftstartSettings,
  BetsBem, BetsBei, IPOC, MKD and MKB critical
  settings test
• Point 6 interlocked BPMs (BPMITLHC)....which role
  to be used ABT is for MCS-BT-LBDS
• BPMSA.A4L6.B1/InterlockSetting
• BPMSB.A4R6.B1/InterlockSetting
• BPMSB.A4L6.B2/InterlockSetting
• BPMSA.A4R6.B2/InterlockSettin
• Only missing then for start-up maybe
  collimators, FEI

Program for Wednesday week 13 - BI

• Check application logging fixed display
• YASP orbit FIFO will have simulated data
• Multiturn ? capture events for BPMs
• BLMs running sums and capture events
• NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT ENERGY IS LOGGED
• Abortgap Monitor
• BCTs
• Wire scanners, synchrotron light monitor
• LHC timing BTVs will play sequencer driven
  timing tables
• Proxies ? fixed displays and application
  logging?
• NO beam dumped events, NO post mortem events
• Tune wait for Ralph...

Dry Run I injection equipment

• week 14 (2nd and 3rd of April) and week 15 (for
  BI rather)
• MKI 8 run it from control room
• New softstart
• OASIS BCT MKIs logging
• Beam permit loops need to jumper out also
  injection BICs
• Energy OK from energy from simulation
• Application?? need to make sure that can run it
  through LSA
• Application will be ready in week 16 only ? SM18
  shifts
• Timing ready for week 14 Test mode stuff (need
  to verify!!) ? got email from Jean-Claude first
  version will be ready need to have a little
  application as well. Just ONE button (only as
  lhcop).
• RF needs to generate the pre-pulse Andy told me
  should be OK
• Fixed displays
• TI 8 and TI 2
• Critical settings for FEI? Prepare DC functions
  (cant run it...interlocked)
• All BI, usual stuff
• Logging for new BPMs...new logging for the PC
• Injection BI again concentrators (BLM also
  capture and BPM), injection region BTVs, run
  injection tables
• BTV proxies for all SPS BTVs

Dry Run II

• Week 17 (23rd and 24th of April) - Injection
• Beam 1 and beam 2 injections if possible with the
  BIS
• MKI 2 like before
• Week 17 LBDS software
• LBDS monitoring application (no functional test
  yet, only communication) needs RBAC for the
  acknowledge
• Arming of IPOC and BETS testable (BetsSim) ? test
  new sequences as far as possible
• Also, the new CIBG generators and communication
  with it...for the time being LBDS jumpered out
• XPOC (play-back mode), logging
• Dump line BI with XPOC events (should trigger
  XPOC) fixed displays
• FBCTs, BLMs, BTVs, BPMs (interlocked BPM), Abort
  gap monitor

Dry Run III

• Week 20 - 22
• TT40/TT60 beam tests
• Will take out some time from CNGS for TT40.
• Test of mastership business
• Injection sequencer fully available
• (new mastership request dont need to remove
  user request to become master, can become master
  also when in spare (if tagged TO_LHC, but no
  dynamic destinations under spare) new mastership
  request removes TI8_dump/TI2_dump request and
  sets requested batches to zero and does the same
  thing again when removing mastership SIS also
  verifies that if dynamic destination is TI8_dump
  or TI2_dump the downstream TEDs must be in)
• Would be good to have first version of IQC
  integrated in injection sequencer
• Date not defined yet during MD without
  extraction (long LHC cycle) requesting different
  filling patterns (different batches) under LHC
  mastership

Planning for the next stuff...

• As soon as we have a little bit of experience
  with the first dry runs, we plan the next ones.
• Beam dump we can only fully test from the control
  room from week 29 (beam 2).
• Need to test as much as possible before...need to
  figure that out.
• MKQA and AC Dipole not covered yet.
