Agenda and Notes
1. Operations Status and Summary/Review (Bickley)
Low energy setup with reduced heating accomplished. RF is not a limitation at this energy (SS). More intelligent way of doing heat control? T. Powers to address his summary 4 weeks from now! Interaction with cryo folks re-initiated? Krafft to contact Creel.
2. LLRF Modelling (Julia Musson)
3. Some Comments on particulates (Geng)
4. Plasma Processing (Powers)
Plasma processing project gaining traction. Kurt Macha has designed two carts needed to in situ clean. All equipment ordered, here, buil;t up by Oct. 1. Test cavity is identified and being put together. first tests in CMTF. Visited FERMI; use HOM filters to excite plasma. Use two RF sources at two frequencies to excite various modes. SNS plus mass flow measurement.
Tests [1] Do no harm
[2] clean up dirty cavity [3] take and improve cavities from "dirty" cryomodule [4] P1 dissassembly check
Goal to have regular maintenance activity plan by end of year.
3 Neutron Detectors (Degtiarenko)
Continued discussion on Neutron Detectors
Action Items
Leadership of quenches. Offline discussion.
C100 Refurbishment Project for the future?
