Colleagues,
     Todd is on travel,  I'll be leading tomorrow's B-Team.   Tomorrow's 
agenda and past meeting notes are below.  Please come prepared to talk 
to any items marked as TODO, INPROGRESS in  the notes of previous meetings.

Also, it would be great to hear from QWeak (Paul can you identify 
someone to come to the B-team meeting and make this presentation?) about 
the beam's parity quality and  any other remaining  beam issues.

Thanks,
Arne

    2 2010-12-01 Wed 14:00 BTeam Meeting--Notes


      2.1 Optics-on-Call Report: Hofler

Summary of the thankful week

Fri: Hall C Compton scan -- done.

Weekend: Energy stability problems, gang phase lock still a problem? A 
power cycle may be required; readback may be invalid; also an observed 
current dependence in tracking.

Wed: Hall C Compton backed out, halo counts up, fixed by rephasing. Need 
to get back through Compton. Still an open issue, should revisit after 
spot move on Thursday 12-02.


      2.2 Beam Studies Report: All

    * Pathlength Analysis: Yunn
      Status of the analysis effort of the tunnel heating/pathlength
      five-pass test in September, final report due next week. Byung's
      draft report is attached. Fig 1 shows slower cooling than warming.
      12 GeV conditions will likely give RF shift of 2-3 degrees/arc.
      15F LCW rise was half of 12 GeV conditions; concrete temp did not
      asymptote. Should we reperform this study with a longer test
      and/or higher temperature? Is this enough data to draw conclusions?

      Should we get a baseline to separate out baseline pathlength
      changes vs temperature-driven changes? This is small compared to
      expected effect. Estimate that these are acceptable but more
      numbers on air/wall temp and air conditioning required. Should
      pull sensors for data and compare, and plan to deliver conclusions
      before winter break (Tief).

    * Arc9 model calibration test: Roblin
      ATLiS entry 10511
      <http://opsweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/atlis/task/10511>. Multiple
      RF FSD trips, ran fopt three times, not necessarily complete,
      requires data quality review by Yves.
    * Hall C double peak source found/resolved? Suleiman
      See this elog entry
      <http://opweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/elog/entry/1555706?PHPSESSID=eba0eb97d22d5f6c7ee0b57e9c387545>.
      Can we get a troubleshooting/diagnostic? Or have we lost some
      troubleshooting for low current by turning off the beam scraping
      monitor? It is a useful archived diagnostic and should evaluate
      whether we can turn it back on in future. We should ensure that it
      stays off until we want it back on. Was also used as low-level
      transfer function monitor, monitoring for changes in lattice. We
      will return to this in the future to see if it can be acceptably
      turned back on. We'll modify app and send signals to Qweak for
      monitoring in the meantime.


      2.3 Beam Studies Planning: All

    * Thursday 2010-12-02 and Tuesday 2010-12-07 Plans: Suggested
          o Tuesday 2010-12-07
            CHL power switch uncertainties, injector cathode activation
            (~12h). TPE also scheduled to start operations at start of
            evening shift.
          o Compton backgrounds (hall A)

            Large dynamic range of currents (100uA to >=100 nA CW) for
            BPM linearity test. Access required, not time critical; can
            wait for next access.
          o Repeat of Arc9 model calibration test?, ~2h
            ATLiS entry 10511,
            <http://opsweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/atlis/task/10511>
            should wait for Yves evaluation of existing data to see if
            its enough for his analysis.
          o Cryomodule JT valve test?, ~10h
            ATLiS entry 7874
            <http://opsweb.acc.jlab.org/CSUEApps/atlis/task/7874>, Has
            been lingering since June. Requires beam off. Also requires
            Jonathan Creel's availability.
    * Thursday 2010-12-02 Plans: Decided
          o Move spot (0.5h)
          o Injector development for QWeak (4h)

      Details of the FY11 BSY diagnostics effort: showed list of 5
      diagnostics suggestions on overhead (FY11 diagnostic suggestions).
      Discussions of whether to relocate harps back to E03 crosses, or
      install new crosses in front of S10 girders for optics matching
      after each recombiner for 12 GeV upgrade commissioning development.
          o TODO ATLiS to test optics measurements at 1E03/2S10 (before
            Jan 2011 optics)
          o TODO Work up detailed tabular strawman, cost/resource
            estimates (Benesch)
          o TODO Cross-check injector harp optics match measurement
            consistency


      2.5 Anything else?

    * Optics: Hofler, Kazimi


    3 2010-11-17 Wed 14:52 Agenda--Notes


      3.1 Optics-on-Call Report Spata

the 9.6kHz vertical easter egg hunt

    * present focus is on the pre-buncher as the source or amplifier of
      the problem.
    * Is there information to be gained by simulating or trying to
      simulating the effect? CASA will look into this.


      3.2 Beam Studies Report All

    * M_56 issues, diagnostics and training. "The Friday Event"
          o what is the design sensitivity of the device? 10mV/degree?
          o Injector to north linac match came late in the game, but
            match happened without too much issue.
    * Two Wien setup
          o nice setup, too bad we mucked it up my pulling the Vertical
            Wien HV.
          o made more complicated then it needs to be by having the
            pre-buncher scrunched between the two Wiens. No action, but
            Reza should take note of this comment and incorporate it
            into the 12GeV injector design. In other words, we are going
            to live with this situation at least to the end of the 6GeV
            program.
    * DONE form a RAR committee to investigate Thursday/Friday tune time
      Krafft Arne
      DEADLINE: 2010-11-19 Fri
      More than 8 hours of downtime is associated with the last Thursday
      and Friday activities. There is room for improvement and this
      event provides an opportunity to review how Optics tuning is
      performed, tools are calibrated/documented and any other
      operational aspects of achieving efficient deterministic beam
      tuning exercises.
    * DONE write charge to the committee Krafft Arne
      DEADLINE: 2010-11-23 Tue
    * Plans for Thursday and Tuesday Beam studies
          o heat/activate schedule: To be determined by Thursday's QE
            scan. (0.5h)
                + if needed to get through Thanksgiving, will do this on
                  Monday
                + otherwise defer to after Thanksgiving
          o Re-instate the Vertical Wien (0.5h)
          o Investigate pre-buncher electronics (1h)
          o recalibrate the Vertical Wien
          o Reestablish high current setup with max gradient of
            pre-buncher of 2.0? depends on what they find with the
            pre-buncher investigation.
          o pre-buncher options
                + network analyze the output of the amplifiers
                + install more supplemental amplifiers
                + run with reduced amplitudes on the pre-buncher


      3.3 FY11 Bteam Projects

    * 12GeV Pathlength resolution
      DEADLINE: 2010-12-20 Mon
      finish off the 12GeV pathlength issues and get definitive answer
      from 12GeV. Remaining issues:
          o DONE Analysis of the Sep. 2010 LCW heatrise test Krafft ATTACH
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-06 Mon
            Write a tech-note summarizing the data and results. No
            interpretation required, that goes in the next document. Jay
            is the contact point on the data. Casa will supply the words
            and analysis. The basic goal is to take all the pictures in
            the Elog of the pathlength scopes and from that calculate
            the pathlength change as a function of time. Overly or
            correlate the temperature data (in a separate file/format)
            with the pathlength data. From this we should be able to get
            some information on pathlength vs tunnel temperature.

            2010-12-01 Wed
            Byung has analyzed the data and the results were presented
            at the B-team meeting. For Arc1 he observed about a 1degree
            of RF pathlength increase for 1degree C in temperature rise.
            See attached document. Mark as done, although there are some
            suggested improvements.

          o TODO document Update/table with agreed upon requirements Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-06 Mon
            Finish/polish off Tief's tech-note on pathlength. Include
            reference of the Sept. LCW heat test to cap the maximum
            excursion expected. This is a requirements document, not a
            design document.(just a reminder)
          o TODO Transfer to 12GeV Pilat Arne Krafft
            DEADLINE: 2010-12-20 Mon
    * Pathlenth adjustment via MO frequency changes
      Develop the requirements for this new tool so that
      Eng/AHLA/Controls/OPS can work on developing a complete tool for
      routine operations.
          o TODO Draft of requirements Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2011-08-15 Mon
          o TODO Project Charter written and team formed Tiefen
            DEADLINE: 2011-09-19 Mon
          o TODO Requirements review, reiterated upon and accepted BTEAM
            DEADLINE: 2011-10-03 Mon
          o TODO Project goals, milestones and work effort established
            AHLA ENG OPS
            DEADLINE: 2011-10-10 Mon
    * raytrace
      If this is to be a part of the 12GeV tool chest, would like to see
      prototyping and requirements of what this tool is and how AHLA can
      help. LOCO techniques might be more applicable. Future talk to
      B-team from Yves on the path forward.
    * Other 12GeV required projects?
          o shims on BW to test modeling of dog-leg
            The shunts will be installed during the 6-months for
            understanding dog-legs? Power supply management issue. Low
            impact.
          o Synchrotron light ports
            Arc9, Arc8, Arc7, Arc10, four in each arcs. Arc8 would be
            best to do this summer, at least the vacuum chambers.
                + estimate is about 17k per synchrotron port. Is this
                  just the vacuum chamber?
                + benefit would be continuous monitoring of the beam
                + perhaps need 80k this year to do Arc8.
                + Need to enter project into the AWP system. Initially
                  as an unfunded priority and then we will see if it
                  fits within future AIP or general RSR funding profiles.
          o Moving harps around
            completing the BSY diagnostic suite. This is funded as the
            completion of the AIP BSY.
                + INPROGRESS Present final plan Benesch ATTACH
                  DEADLINE: 2010-12-01 Wed
                  Include upgrading quad power supplies to aid
                  collecting quad scan data through the minimum.
                  2010-12-01 Wed
                  Jay present a table, see attached document. Requested
                  that he fill it in a bit more and add priority.


      3.4 Optics model update Arne

This is a modest change/correction to the present design optics. The 
goal is to correct some errors that crept into the system, mostly in 
Arc1 and Arc2. My working notes are attached, these notes represent 
where I was on this project in April of this year. Basically Arc1 is in 
reasonable shape. I need to move onto Arc2 and then complete the process.

For the Jan2011 download, no changes to the element definitions other 
than quad design strength will be made. Subsequent studies in the first 
half of 2011 will tell us if we need to change any dipole body gradients 
or RF modeling parameters. In other words this is a small change (see 
the table in the attached document)

    * Arc1 ala elegant
    * realtime CS tool? Geoff brought up the fact that if the elegant
      model is used to define the design, than the CS tool should
      reference the elegant model. Unfortunately upgraded CS tool to use
      the elegant infrastructure is not on the FY11 plan (probably
      hopefully FY12). Michael T. pointed out that the BPM noise is
      probably larger than the design noise. Looking over the table in
      the document there is one quad that has a 10% change between optim
      and elegant. Perhaps this quad will be noise. We will have to make
      note of these special quads. We can also think about converting
      from elegant to optim so that the CS tool will pick up these
      changes in the interim. No action other than a discussion with
      AHLA to see if there are any mitigating efforts that can/should be
      made.


      3.5 Anything else?

    * Optics-on-call over Thanksgiving? Krafft Hofler
      Don't touch anything!
