LHC Shift Coverage and Data Recording Update: Preparation for Upcoming Operations

The LHC has ramped up to 4 TeV, with 900 GeV collisions expected on Wednesday. All functions of the LHC are being tested, aimed at full data-taking at 8 TeV starting April 1. Shifters need to register for shadow shifts, and current coverage shows a total of 56 shifters signed up. However, there is a challenge in filling shifts, particularly for AMOD and ADCoS Expert roles, with a call to action for more participants. Please respond to coordinators regarding availability and commitment levels to ensure robust coverage for upcoming operations.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Schedule – LHC • LHC ramped up to 4TeV Friday last week • All functions of the LHC being tested • 900 GeV collisions expected Wednesday • Expected data recording amid small amounts • Full data taking at 8TeV in earnest expected to begin April 1 Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  2. Comp@P1 Shadow Shifts • All members needed retraining via a shadow shift • Shadow shift booking opened March 1 • Shifters are required to be registered for shadow shifts within a few days prior to their shifts • All shifters with upcoming shifts registered Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  3. Comp@P1 Shifts • Shifts open from March 21 through the end of the operation this year, Nov. 26 • March 21 through March 27: two shifts a day • March 27 through Nov. 24: full three shiftper day coverage • Nov. 25 through Nov. 26: two shifts a day • Shifts relatively well covered • Total 56 shifters signed up for the shifts • Only a handful of shifts uncovered, including the one coming up next weekend • Sent out a message to shifters’ list and notify them of the availabilities Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  4. Current Shift Coverage Comp@P1 AMOD Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  5. AMOD Coverage • Have been having hard time filling the shifts • Total number of available shifters: 22 on the OTP list • 14 actual • 4 new AMODs being trained • Doug Benjamin, Luc Poggioli, AlexeySedov and Jae Yu • Need more to prepare for the future • Reviewing individual commitment to assess the need for this year • Will update the OTP and AMOD list on TWiKi pages • Documentation for AMOD tasks and training being put together  Ale, Guido, Cedric, Stephane and many… Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  6. Current Shift Coverage AMOD Need AMODs to start booking shifts! Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  7. ADCOS Expert Coverage • Even harder to fill the shifts • Total number of available shifters: 15 on the OTP list • 12 regular plus • 3 new ADCoS Experts promoted • Helmut Wolters, Michal Svatos, Alastair Dewhurst • Need more! • Reviewing individual commitment to assess the need for this year • Will update the OTP and ADCOS list on TWiKi pages • Need shifter starting tomorrow! Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey

  8. Conclusions • Comp@P1 shift station has been well exercised • Comp@P1 shifts ready for data taking • AMOD shift coverage an issue • Please book shifts now so that we know what is missing • Please respond back to comp@p1 coordinators with your commitment levels • ADCoS Expert shifts need more shifters • Please book shifts now! • ADCoS Senior shifts are well covered Comp@P1 Readiness, Jae and Alexey
