RPC Hardware Status
Annual HV module recalibration – all CAEN A3512N HV module offsets
recalibrated (125 Hvboards)
Number of RPCs operated in Single Gap mode is unchanged in 2011 for
the endcap and increased from 6 to 10 for the Barrel:
Now : 10 in the Barrel and 19 in the Endcap
Number of disconnected chambers is unchanged in 2011 :
3 in Barrel & 3 in Endcap

Individual HV value setting for each channel optimizing the WP of each chamber
In 2010 RPC system worked with 2 common HVworking points 9.35 kV (barrel) & 9.55 kV (Endcap) We wanted to define the WP of each chamber in order to improve the performance of the system by fine tuning the
position of the WP in the plateau chamber by chamber : i) avoid to stress the detector ii) less sensitive to the small environmental changesIn 2010 not enough statistics to make a full efficiency scanIn 2011 RPC collaboration put a lot of effort in doing a full high voltage scan chamber by chamber in order to identify the best working point (WP) of each RPC roll and each HV channel taking into account efficiency , cluster size, Noise and trigger rate

Next step : Online Pressure correction of the Working Point 1% efficiency fluctuation due to pressure variation reduce the spread of the HV effective values keep safe the detector
During running period: Temperature is almost stable. Big variation in pressure (typically in the range 945-975 mbar)

The Online P correction will be deployed in the next TA.
New DOC duties : i) checking if not abnormal values of the HV that will be applied during the transition to SQEEZE ii) in SQEEZE checking that the HV applied values are conformal to the expected one iii) if DV >50 Volts (DP~5mbar) during stable beams apply the new Voltage (SMS warning) iv) CMS center : monitor the currents
i)For the physics fills the CMS shift leader will call the RPC doc at the beginning of the ramp. Latest one hour after the call the OM has to be in P5ii) He has to check the distribution of the HV values that will be applied to the system. He wait until the transition to physics ( RPCs ON) and he checks that the applied HV correction is the expected oneiii)During stable beams : if DV >50 Volts (DP~5mbar) one SMS warning will be sent to the RPC phone. The OM has to go to P5 check the distribution of the new HV values and send the command ON manually on the system.
NEW PROCEDURE for the OM:
DM + OM : check the currents OFF line Check the HV dustributions before & after the correction

RPC Operation Performances
Trigger L1-RPC : 0:04:02min/ 535 hours A closer look to that 0% !....
No any significant RPC downtime & dead time during the last 3 months
Actually was a Trigger shifter fault!
Fault of LV LB power supply
3.3 pb-1 of BAD runs du to the HV scan over 700 pb-1
recordedNo any significant impact of the HV scan on the quality of
the data We decided to do an HV scan per year
Shifts
• OM shift instruction manual on twiki needs to be updated.
• To get the access rights in UXC, all the present and future OMs have to follow:
i)BioCell training course register [email protected] ii) CMS level-4 safety module (online 40 minutes)
• Follow at least the RPC weekly DPC &RC meeting.• OM Training sessions will be organized in near future.

Conclusions Low Dark currents and background rates are
following the beam luminosity no any unexpected behavior
Fine tune of the WP improved the performance and insures more safe conditions for the detector
Online P correction of the WP will insure more stable operating conditions
Improve instructions & the shift organization
