  1. Preparation Status of pp Run11 Haixin Huang Time Meeting 12/21/2010

  2. 250 GeV Run Machine Parameter No of bunches: 109 Protons/bunch: 1.35x1011 Ramp working point Qx, Qy: (28.690,29.675) Store working point Qx, Qy: (28.695,29.685) # of collisions 2 (3 in later half store) beta* for collisions 0.65 m @IP6& 8; 3m @ IP2 beta* for non collisions 7.5 m

  3. Critical Systems In Dry Run • Ramp System • First test with the new ramp was successful (to the WFG level), more test will follow • RF application • On going effort continues before the run starts. • RHIC Injection • Teapot model server problem resolved(OS upgrade caused the problem). Additional work needs to be done to add code for smooth switch between 9/28MHz cavities and add spin check code. • RHIC CNI polarimeters • Dry run for down stream polarimeter has finished. Dry run for upstream polarimeter will happen this week. • Tune/orbit feedback on the ramp • Tune feedback is successful, orbit feedback will continue

  4. Schedule and New Items • Jan. 3-9 Cryo cool down, not much beam activity is expected. • Jan. 10-Jan. 27 two and half weeks RHIC setup. • Jan. 28- Feb. 4 ramp up mode, provide collisions overnight. • Feb. 5: Physics run starts. • New systems this year: • 9MHz cavity • Beam dump upgrade (aperture smaller!) • Upgraded spin flipper • A robust tune/orbit/chromaticity feedback system • Reversed BPM offsets • Realigned RHIC ring vertically except section between 6-7.
