Highlights on Operations/Reliability

• Beam startup took 24 shifts ( as planned)
• A bit slowed by troubles with vacuum
  valves Dean!
• Reached pre-shutdown L60e30 after 9 stores
• Suffered from separator sparks for 12 days in
  Dec04
• 3 stores lost , 2 damaged
• lowered voltages by 10 on Dec 18, 2004 ? one
  spark since then
• Mixed source shots regular ? very long stores
  (record 45.3hrs in 3920)
• Stores lost due to QFA4, cryo(1), controls(1), RF
  trips (5 trips, 1 lost), longitudinal damper off
  (1)
• D0 and (less) CDF halo rates are down, LOSTP
  spiky after 20hrs, no motion at 12 Hz
• Superb lifetimes at 150, ramp losses low
• Losses in squeeze 1-2 p/pbars, dropped Q 20?8,
  still
• Scallops were regular, disappeared after dQ
  -0.002 change
• No transv-dampers at injection ? either higher
  Q or Octupoles
• CDF and D0 IP positions and angles corrected
  (upto 3mm) with correctors or by alignment of B0
  LB quadrupoles
• Lifetime at 150 is great, losses on ramp smaller
• P-lifetime at LB wandering 60hrs?160hrs?60hrs

Tevatron Beam Physics Progress

• Octupoles O1 O2 commisioned for differential
  chromaticity control, OZF OZD for stability at
  150 ? chromaticit reduced as well as losses (esp
  pbar) (Petr, Yuri and Jerry)
• Longitudinal blowup is multibunch mode 1 (Tan)
• Lattice re-measured after shutdown at 150 LB
  OK (Valery)
• WP scan at EoS ? better proton tunes (ZXL, VS,
  JPC)
• Pbar bunch-by-bunch orbits at 150 as modeled
  (Sasha Valishev)
• Tev B-Beam Phenomena paper in progress (many)
• Wake field effects seen in head-tail motion
  (Vahid)
• Beam-beam modeling ? Q0 and 23 RFC idea
  (Velery, Sasha Valishev)
• Theory of b-b resonance diffusion with noise
  (Yuri)
• P-loss rate analysis at HEP and 150 Na/emma2at
  (VS)
• IBS emittance growth study, 2100 hrs lifetime
  (Vladimir, Alvin)

Next Three Months Expectations

• Over the next 3 months, I expect
• stable operation at 90-100 e30, combined shots
• D0 luminosity monitor fixed (?6 in AVG lumi)
• less study time as reliability improves
• possible improvements
• 10-20 increase in proton intensity with same
  emittance
• 5-10 more pbars from RR ? smaller Emm, 120mA
  stash
• 5-10 lumi-lifetime improvements? WPs, octupoles,
  etc
• ? 35? 28 cm studies to start and may be even
  cashed in
• As the result, I expect peak CDF luminosity to be
  around 120-130e30 by May 1, 2004
