NEWS FROM POINT 2
- Open shift block:
- In case of questions, please contact RC (alice-rc@cern.ch)
- LHC and ALICE:
- During the last weekend, the vdM program was carried out. On Friday, scans for LHCb and ALICE were carried out, followed by the scan of ATLAS/CMS, which lasted until Monday morning. Afterwards, a fill for beam-beam interaction MD was carried out. On Monday late afternoon, the ALICE polarity was inverted for the upcoming pp production period. During the week, the MPP validation tests have been carried out together with the first step of the intensity ramp and the ATLAS calibration transfer tests. The full machine is expected on Friday afternoon, and physics production will continue for the next weeks.
- The ALICE vdm was carried out very smoothly, as well as the physics data taking, including ZDC in the shadow of the vdm scan of the other experiment. As soon as the full machine is reached again, ALICE will continue to take data at 500kHZ. During the intensity ramp-up, a few tests with different interaction rates are planned.
