- It was mentioned that in May all the VMTSA were OK as some Xrays were done (by chance) => See VB's LMC talk and other slides from VB. In fact, in VB's talk an X-ray campaign (of the 10th and 12th of May) is mentioned for LSS2 only as there were no Xrays for LSS8.

- LRFF (LHC RF Fingers) Task Force: Kick-off meeting! (EM, 20-03-12).


- Several bench impedance measurements done during the 2011-2012 shutdown:

          - 13/01/2012 => Antenna (in December) and wire (in January) measurements with the old (long, i.e. from 2011) RF fingers.

          - 01/02/2012 => Wire measurements with the new (shorter, i.e. for 2012) RF fingers.

          - 02/02/2012 => Wire measurements with the old (long, i.e. from 2011) RF fingers and in particular also with bellow empty (i.e. without RF fingers at all for this bellow, see slide 2).

          - 09/02/2012 => Wire measurements with the new (shorter, i.e. for 2012) RF fingers.
         
          - 13/02/2012 => Wire measurements with the new (shorter, i.e. for 2012) RF fingers adding some ferrite blocks.

- CST simulations (BS, 03-04-12).

- CST simulations with a wire and without RF fingers (BS, 03/02/2012).

- Length of the RF fingers:

          - 21 cm for the old (2011) design => Picture 1.

          - 9.25 cm for the new (2012) design => Picture 2.
