Plans for July/August 2006

• Most of the work is done !

  • Lattice design incorporates LR BBI (DLR/MJF)
  • Closed BBI knobs defined, optimized, implemented (major effort – MGB)
  • Effectiveness modelled (JAC) and demonstrated (JAC/MGB)

• Some thinking to do about design strategy

  • Optimize lattice at higher bunch current ? 8x3 t1.b2 or 9x5 t1.b3 ?
  • Lower design pretzel ? (Changes knob coefficients.)
  • Calculate knob coefficients at what bunch current ? (Correlated with above)

• Improve IP knob coefficient tuning by using both E and W bumps

• Empirical tuning of knob strengths at operating current

• Develop operating procedure
