• started 3.5 hours late (LHC RF crowbar repair, PS 10–MHz cavity), then 1 h machine set up; first MD beam injected ~13:45• Special hypercycle for Piwinski MD• 2 bunches of 1.5 e11 per bunch (+pilot), go to collision tunes, &

collapsed crossing angles at IP1 and 5, and separation at IP 1,5, and 8; then looked for collisions. Filling scheme with one bunch colliding in IP1,5,and 8, and other bunch colliding in IP 8 only.• Impossible to find collisions at ATLAS and CMS, but LHCb could be

optimized... decision to dump & re-inject with higher intensity• 2 bunches of ~2.4e11 injected without separation bump, IP1/IP5

crossing angle at zero, and collision tunes – Clear luminosity signals in ATLAS and LHCb –No clear Luminosity readings from CMS (some signal towards

the end of the MD) ; problem with BSRT data acquisition LHCb spectrometer ramped down in steps to zero.

• LHCb spectrometer was left at 0 strength after the MD

MD history

LPA MD conditions• 2.4e11 / bunch; 2 bunches per beam• 1st bunch collides in IP 8 only• 2nd bunch collides in IPs 1, 5 and 8• injection energy, 1.5 ns bunch length, e~2 mm • ADT off, orbit feedback off, • TCTs at coarse settings, IR angle bumps zeroed in IPs

1 and 5 • IP8 crossing angle 4 mrad, 2 mrad, 0 (varied with

spectrometer strength)• collision tunes• estimated Piwinski angles ~ 1.1, 0.6, 0

largest Piwinski angle ever!

BSRTsGot stuck on single bunch the one colliding in IP1-5-8…

No apparent reasons for this…

BSRT software had got stuck!?

plan• review luminosity data from LHCb and CMS

(not in logging database)

• further analysis intensity and luminosity lifetime

for different spectrometer strengths

• MD note soon – editor Jose Abelleira
