Operation Summary for January 24, 2011 - January 26, 2011

Monday Jan. 24

The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TEV) store 8443 (54.78E30) and the Recycler stash (345.0E10), with the Antiproton Source (Pbar) stacking (9.6E10), with the Main Injector (MI), Linac, and Booster operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNEexperiments taking beam, and Meson FTBF T-978 (CALICE)experiment off due to beamline vacuum problems, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) using the colliding beams.

During the day shift, Operations terminated store 8443 at 9:17 AM, put the TEV into HEP shot setup, and established store 8444 at 10:25 AM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 328.41E30. Linac personnel switched over from the I- Source to the H- Source at 11 AM. Water Group personnel completed repairs on the NuMI LCW expansion tank at 11:44 AM.

Tuesday Jan. 25

The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 8444 (85.08E30) and the stash (347.5E10), with Pbar stacking (17.5E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam.

During the midnight shift, Operations terminated store 8444 at 1:45 AM, put the TEV into shot setup, and established store 8445 at 3:02 AM with an AIL of 339.93E30.

During the day shift, RF technicians completed repairs on a Pbar Accumulator RF station (ARF1) flow switch and changed out the modulator for MIRF5 at 2:21 PM.

Wednesday Jan. 26

The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 8446 (185.58E30) and the stash (122.9E10), with Pbar stacking (19.0E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam.
