9 AM Meeting (11 Apr 2018)

Crew Chief Operations Summary
Fairly quiet the past couple days.

Linac
Had some issues with controls.
LRF5 Marx Modulator is being installed. Expect to switch over to it later this month.
Laser Notcher extinction scans later this morning (Little impact to beam operation).

Booster
Running very well. Efficiency 93-94%.
Keeping up with requests.
$17 cycle studies are requested.

Booster Neutrino
Lost an air velocity probe on the target system but there are redundant instruments in place.

BNB Experiments
Running well.

Main Injector & Recycler
Running well.
Traced some problems with running directly from Booster to MI was due to $21 cycle tuning issues. This has been rectified.
COntinue 1.2 sec ramp studies.
MI TBT study requested: 4 hours with an extra 8GeV cycle in TLG.

NuMI
Running well.
Having issues with button BPMs, Instrumentation is in the loop.
Muon monitor gas may be bad and they would like to change bottles.
Still watching a small leak on Horn 1 RAW system.

NuMI Experiments
Running well.
NOvA passed 7E20 POT, a great milestone.

Muon Rings
Lens installation is complete, thanks for much work in safely conducting a procedure not performed since 2010.
Pulse testing of lens in complete and restacking of blocks will begin shortly. Expect beam to resume around 1100 today.
PRACs code fix in place.

Muon Experiments
Did a trolley run yesterday and check out systems in preparation for beam today.

SY120
Running fairly well.
BPM scan yesterday revealed problems that are being addressed with Instrumentation support.
Will do another SY dump intensity scan today.

SY120 Experiments
Switching users today but no ORC needed as the secondary is now becoming the primary experiment.
Need to finish some work this morning but will be ready by this afternoon.

ES&H
No Report.

EE Support
Nothing to report.

Mechanical
Running well. Turned on IP802 abd Booster vac is coming down. Request opportunistic access to address small leak on Muon IP303.
Awating hte need for CUB column 3 regeneration.

RF
Running well.

Controls
No issues.

Instrumentation
Addressing aforementioned problems.

FESS
Beginning Spring startup procedures in several systems today.
Received a request for estimate on restarting MTA compressors for G-2.
