NEWS FROM POINT 2

  • Open shift block: In the upcoming month there are two open SL block (4– 9 June, 12 -17 June) and one DCS block (14 – 19 June) which need to covert. In case of questions please contact RC.
     
  • LHC and ALICE:
    • During the last week, the machine managed to finalize the steps of 800b and 1200b and started with the 1800b filling schema.
    • The operation during the last week was quite smooth, apart from two issues with the cryogenic system, which caused some downtime on Wednesday night.
    • For the next days, the final steps of the ramp are planned to reach a filling with 2400b.
    • With the 1800b filling schema ALICE switch the period (LHC25ac) and started the physics production at 500kHz interaction rate.
    • Before this, further tests at Pb-Pb were carried out to study the stability of the TPC FC. During this test, stability issues occurred, which are currently under investigation.
    • ALICE will continue to take data at the nominal rate.

DIVERSITY

  • Work Well Feel Well: Emotions: forces for transformation: Part eight of the Work Well Feel Well series looks at how to acknowledge and manage our emotions!
     
  • 25 by ’25 Gender Diversity Progress:
    The latest data shows remarkable progress toward the 25% gender diversity target, originally deemed unattainable by experts due to low staff turnover. We are now less than 0.5% away from the goal! A special thank you to Hiring Managers for their dedication to “conscious hiring” over the past years. With a diverse feeder pool of students and grads, we are optimistic that this will result in increased gender diversity among staff in the medium and long term. More info ....
     
  • D&I Volunteer Networks:
     
    • SNAC (Neurodiversity) Network:
      The network, set to officially launch in Q1 2025, already has over 60 members. Recent feedback from a participant highlighted the value of connecting with others who share similar neurodivergent traits.
       
    • Coordinator position open for The Network for persons with Disability:
      The role involves acting as a contact point for disability-related questions, participating in Diversity & Inclusion Roundtable meetings, and monitoring projects aimed at improving working conditions for people with disabilities at CERN. Please contact Jean-Yves Le-Meur for more details.
