Thursday news

Well... Excuse the title but I did not know what to put up there.

So we are almost set with all safety trainings, we should be abble to access machines when possible from tomorrow afternoon.

The weather got a bit better here, now temperature is above 0°C and we have less wind. Apparently this week end will be even better, with sun and more than 10°C!

From the MCR we observed a machine study session, the aim was to be abble to double injcted intensity from Booster to Main Injector. The process is interesting (inject once, slow down beam and re-inject in the same buckets, re-capture the whole new bunches...), and has an efficiency around 90%. Now optimizations are on-going.

We also learned the full process of anti-protons production, storage and injection into the tevatron.

One could conclude it was a very inteesting day.
