h2. Target & PPS training session 
15
16
h3. PPS (I) - 9:00
17
18
Will run target with Muon Test permit, will cover how to start setting up PPS without mimic.
19
20
h3. Target Theory - 9:30
21
22
0)  a) How the target works (explanation by poster)
23
    b) Control systems and Vac Rack (inc. access)
24
    c) Walkabout checklist items
25
26
1) a) Target powerup (can be done with frame raised)
27
     b) Basic (shifter-level) operation
28
     c) Monitoring plots and reports
29
     d) Checking the Target is operating to the correct spill (can be done with frame raised)
30
     e) Checking the beambump is active
31
     f) PPS interlocks; PPS vs BPS, etc.
32
     g) MICE Controlled Entry procedure
33
34
h3. Dipping into ISIS - 10:00 
35
36
2) a) Finding the ISIS Beam
37
     b) Checking the next spill injection losses (i.e. setting too long or short user delay).
38
     c) Optimising timing (playing with user delay to optimise beam loss profile)  Intrusive / Requires help from ISIS:
39
40
h3. "Intrusive" activities - 11:30
41
42
3) Running without the beambump (and how it changes everything!)
43
     Needs ISIS to turn off beambump temporarily
44
45
4) a) Overview of ISIS BLMs and trips (minor vs major, I forget the terminology)
46
        Would it be possible to get this from Dean Adams or ISIS directly?
47
     b) Run at the margin to try to see some of the minor trips (this would
48
        be better done with the beamloss limit reduced to say 1V to reduce
49
        jitter)
50
51
5) Example of a BPS Trip (and what to do!)
52
53
h2. Magnets - cooling water etc. - after lunch
54 3 Nebrensky, Henry
55 8 Nebrensky, Henry
For future reference, _some of this_ would be done better during the shutdown.
