1. Comments on the minutes

There were no comments on the minutes of the previous meeting.

2. MPS aspect of the commissioning of the vacuum system

The status of the document describing the MPS aspects of the commissioning of the vacuum system was discussed. The comments have been included in the new version of the vacuum procedures. This is still not a final version which outstanding issues marked in red. Please send your comments concerning this document either to Laurette or to Jan. The outstanding issues should be finalised in the coming weeks and then entered in the edms system for approval.

3. Structure of MPS Commissioning

Jan gave a short presentation concerning the structure of MPS commissioning documentation and procedures. The different systems were mentioned (slide 3) and the different phases were discussed (slide 4). These phases have now been updated to be coherent with the general LHC commissioning phases and an updated list can be found in the template of the commissioning procedures. Further comments have been included in the slides.

4. Next

It was agreed that the people listed on slide 3 of the presentation prepare a document describing the MPS aspects of the commissioning of ‘their’ system. A draft document for discussion should be available 6 weeks after the meeting: for the meeting of 18 April. The template, based on the commissioning procedures, should be used as a starting point. Rüdiger will look for help for Markus writing the documentation on the systems listed under his name.

5.MTF

Blanca gave a presentation, illustrating possible representation of the MPS commissioning structure and results in MTF. There are many possibilities and the best way will largely depend on the way the different tests are described and linked. It was decided to wait for some commissioning procedures to be available and then put some of it in MTF.
