Monday May 10
The day shift began with Main Injector (MI) off due to power supply problems. Tevatron (Tev) is waiting to go into shot setup.
At 10:23 AM CDF and D0 both used this downtime to make a 1 hour controlled access.
MI was back on and in a stable state at 1:04 PM.
Shot setup for the Tev began at 1:40 PM.
At 3:31 PM Operations established store #3481 with an initial luminosity of 59.20 E30.
Antiproton Source (Pbar) returns to stacking, beam to MiniBoone at 4:17 PM.
Beam to MCenter at 6:03 PM.
Tuesday May 11
The Midnight shift began with store #3481 colliding, stacking, and with beam to MiniBoone and MCenter.
Turned on beam to MTest at 9:20 AM.
At 12:41 PM the Pbar stack went from 145ma to 58ma while going to the reverse proton mode. No obvious cause was found for the Pbar loss.
MCenter turned off at 1:28 PM.
Mtest turned off at 6:29 PM.
Wednesday May 12
The Midnight shift began with store #3481 colliding, stacking, and with beam to MiniBoone and MCenter.
M01RAW tripped off at 2:38 AM. The AC breaker was reset and beam resumed to MCenter. This device continued to trip every hour or so through out the shift.
Store # 3481 was terminated at 5:31 AM.
Today's Plans
Tev studies during the day, followed by shot setup this evening. M01RAW will be repaired.
