Martinengo **End Physics Run 2025 Information** * NA Physics p+ : 24.11.2025 NA Physics Pb Ion 28.11.-08.12. * EA Physics PB Ion (T8) 17.11.-08.12. EA Physics p+ (T9) 24.11. EA Physics p+ (T10/T11) 08.12. **Last User Meeting 2025 : Thursday 11.Dec.2025** :::danger **Call for 2026 fixed target proton beam requests is closed** ::: Short grace periode (a few days), while we check all requests... :::warning Call for FT Ion beam requests will be opened early December. https://asm.app.cern.ch/coordination/beam-requests ::: :::danger **Updated Injector schedule 2026** : [**Version 0.6**](https://edms.cern.ch/document/3180469/0.6/) * 5th February Start n_TOF * **11th February 2026** - Start of EA Physics * **11th March 2026** – Start of NA physics **First user meeting : 5. Feb. 2026** ::: Reminder: *Beam time (main user) exceeding the limits of 2 weeks PS beam time and 1 week SPS beam time per year need the approval of one of these CERN committees: SPSC, LHCC or RB. Endorsment of DRDC or IEFC is a pre-requirement for longer beam time that still needs SPSC approval. Endorsement of beam time by the scientific committee does not guarantee the beam time can be scheduled.* **Target intensities:** See via [ASM](https://asm.cern.ch/experimental-area/experiments) (accessible from within the CERN network). ### News from the Facilities Operations Meeting (FOM/TIOC) **Upcoming SPS MDs next weeks :** https://be-dep-ea.web.cern.ch/content/md-planning-north-area Dedicated SPS MDs - if not anounced differently - are taking place from 8:00 to 18:00 --- ## PS Machine Report (Please insert your name) ## SPS Machine Report (Please insert your name) ## Safety (Please insert your name) ## TT42 Outgoing Main: n_TOF (Please insert your name) ## East Area Beam Status (Please insert your name) On call phone number: :phone: [67500](tel:+41227667500) T8: T9: T10: T11: ## East Area Users Tour de Table ### T8 Outgoing Main: IRRAD_CHARM (Please insert your name) From the beginning of the year:  ### T8 Main: HEARTS (Please insert your name) ### T9 Outgoing Main: STRAW_TRACKER_RD (Please insert your name) ### T9 Main: EIC ePIC LFHCal (Please insert your name) ### T9 Incoming Main: ALICE_RICH (Please insert your name) ### T10 Main: LHCB (Please insert your name) ### T11 Main: CLOUD (Please insert your name) ## North Area Beam Status (Please insert your name) On call phone number: :phone: [67500](tel:+41227667500) H2/H4: H6: H8: M2: P42/K12: ## North Area Users Tour de Table ### H2 Main: NA61_SHINE (Please insert your name) ### H4 Main: DRD1 (Please insert your name) ### H4 Parallel: GIF++ (Please insert your name) ### H6 Main: ATLAS_ITK_PIXEL (Please insert your name) ### H8 Outgoing Main: RE1_AMS_L0 (Please insert your name) ### H8 Parallel: STI (Please insert your name) ### K12-P42 Main: NA62 (Please insert your name) ### M2 Main: AMBER (Please insert your name) ### H6 Parasitic: ALICE_ITS3 (Please insert your name) ### H6 Parasitic: DRD3 Cassia (Please insert your name) ### H8 Outgoing Parasitic: STI (Please insert your name) ### H8 Outgoing Parasitic: STRAW_TRACKER_RD (Please insert your name) ### H8 Outgoing Parasitic: EIC_DRICH (Please insert your name) ### M2 Parasitic: MUONE (Please insert your name) --- ## AoB --- _Minutes by the respective speakers, edited by M.
