Machine Setup for Phase A.8:

1. Beam type: pilot

   • 1x1 bunches of pilot intensity.

   • I_b:  from  ~ 5•10⁹ p/bunch to 3•10¹⁰ p/bunch

   • є_n: Nominal emittance (or value agreed for ramping)

    

2. 450 GeV tolerances should also apply for the ramp as the available aperture stays constant.

    

3. LHC modes:

   • PREPARE RAMP ® RAMP ® FLAT TOP
