E-Linac status
- Unclear when beam will be back.
- What are priorities once beam is back? FLASH station?
- Hoping for more information in Friday meeting
BLM calibration
- AL preparing documents for requirements and specs
- Needs to be done at reasonable background levels, i.e., not with high dark current conditions from cavities.
- Should this go hand in hand with scan to verify coverage after a long shut down period?
- Add flow chart for sequence of events
- AL to implement comments for BLM calibration requirements/specs document and send out to reviewers
- Add requirements: For instance, beam needs to be off for calibration, cavities off => procedure during downtime
- Add Rod, Alex and Brandon as reviewer, Mike for final approval
- Make sure to define times precisely
- Use 2 calibration points for PMTs to verify linearity
View screen / BLM interlocks for tuning
- AL preparing documents for requirements and specs
- Add requirements and table
- 6-7 VS with 1 or 2 BLMs to be prevented from tripping
- Be clear on definition of "disabled". Trip function should be disabled, but readback must be available.
FLASH/Darklight effect on MPS
- Darklight and FLASH installation complete
- Email from Luca Egoriti last week: hoping to put beam on the FLASH station (the old EMBD dump) as soon as the e-linac is back in shape, and since the shielding envelope has changed we foresee higher dose rates in the ehall coming from the target/dump. Hence, we wanted to let you know since there might be some MPS work to be done to accommodate the modifications
- Recommissioning required for medium and high energy section.
- Power limits for FLASH dump? 1kW for FLASH dump in pulse mode? 200W in continuous mode. There might be extra room for BLM thresholds ==> AL to follow up with Luca E.
- original dump design was for 500W ?
Fibre
- MA in contact with Hamamatsu on lead times for PMTs. Seem to be around 2-3 months.
- 2 PMTs may be available from Conny
- Thomas Lindner took his PMT back end of 2021
- Thomas L. had factory/of-the-shelve fibre coupler. We may need 3D printed coupler and just buy connector. HH thinks this is possbile. Have 3D printer with black plastic available for use.
- MA will try to get drawings from manufacturer
AOB
- Making LICs for BL4N once cases are down a bit
- HH offers to be around when Phil L. shows AL and MA how to manufacturer LICs. Possible option to make the LICs in electronics shop.
- MA to check with Phil L. if all parts are available.
- Do we have enough for full length of tunnel?
- Might make longer LICs depending on required position resolution
- Tricky part might be the end caps to seal Argon connections.
Action Items
- AL to follow up with Luca E. on power levels for FLASH dump.
- AL to send out document for view screen/BLM interlock requirements/specs
- AL to implement comments for BLM calibration requirements/specs document and send out to reviewers
- MA: What SiPMs and or PMTs are we looking to buy?
- Fibre coupler: MA will try to get drawings from manufacturer for 3D printing option
- MA to check with Phil L. if all parts are available for BL4N LICs.
- 2nd stage trip implementation:
- Final status of implementation?
- What is left to do/needed?
- AL to take recommissioning scans in medium and high energy section, once beam is back.
