Minutes of RESULTS, PITZ Physics Seminar, 02.08.2012

Project: PITZ
Participants. Igor Isaev, Dmitriy Malyutin, Martin Khojoyan, Ji Li, Grigoriy Vashchenko, Yevgeniy Ivanisenko, Matthias Gross, Anne Oppelt, Frank Stephan, Irina Petrushina, Mahmoud, Georgios Kourkafas. 

Agenda:
1)	DESY Summer party, PITZ summer party, work outing
2)	Booster conditioning
Results:
1)	DESY summer party quiz: everybody contributes a question (choose the right answer).
To be sent to Frank, Anne und Katrin
2)	Annual work outing 6th of September:\

a.	Skates/Bikes tour (Flaeming) - 8
b.	Kanu tour from KW - 2
c.	Tropical island - 0 

Kletterwald (Strausberg) – 9 – CHOICE nr 1
d.	Bowling - 1
e.	Wakeboard - 0
f.	Table Tennis, Beach Volley. - 3
g.	Bicycle tour in the neighbourhood -0
h.	Cart racing - 0 
3)	Klystron hall access for operators needs a list and a teaching.
4)	Booster conditioning
Starting from 3.5 MW 700 us (unstable)
WG1 PD threshold changed to 3V
PMs at windows are not in the IL?
Any progress at constant RF pulse duration? Minimal progress.
Document ILs digging out the ADC traces from DAQ.

5)	Radiation level: Pandora detector outside (num. 45) of the tunnel has to be observed while operating CDS booster at high gradients and with long pulses. Run LEDA with positive currents and see if this reduces the level. If exceeding 3 uSv/h – reduce average beam power.

Next steps:
What is to be done?	By whom?	Until when?	Done on	
Compose a question for the quiz	All	16.08.2012		
Work outing 2012	FS	6.09.2012		
Justify how much does RF windows contribute to the trip rate of booster?	Operators			
PMs at RF windows have to be included in the IL	Mario			
Calibration of IL sensors	YI and MP
