  14. DAQ-DCS • DAQ shutdown 21st Dec mid-day • DAQ start after cooling and power interventions, end wk 3 • Arrangements for individual LDCs can be organized (send a mail to alice-datesupport@cern.ch) • DCS: keep running during Christmas • Replace PCs weeks 1-2-3-4 • Replacement CR3 racks and removal air conditioning CR2-3-4 • From week 4 ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro

  15. TPC • Take out capacitors ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro

  16. TPC laser • Annual laser maintenance, 1-2 days. Needs normal power and cooling • Open mirror box below TPC sector A13 (bottom below TPC endplate) and possibly replace camera or mirror. 1-2 days. I want to do this because a weak picture from this mirror/camera makes C-side alignment difficult. Best done with L3 doors open. I believe access between the TOF and TPC should be OK. I need to be able to run the laser, so we need to mount the long laser pipe temporarily after opening of L3 doors. ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro
