The idea is to reuse the neutri no beam infrastructure made in 1980's for the neutrino beam from PS to BEB C and novel detectors as that of LArgon TPC. This presentation will give a n overview of the experimental facility lay-out and the challenging requir ements. The PS beam production together with extraction\, beam transport a nd secondary beam production will be addressed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/c ontributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=11&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=24&sessionId=11 &confId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The HiRadMat Project DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T160000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T162000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-25@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: EVRARD\, Sebastien ()\nThe High Radiation to Materia ls (HiRadMat) facility at CERN/SPS is designed to allow testing of acceler ator components\, in particular those of LHC\, to the impact of high-inten sity pulsed beams. It will be opened to all CERN users and external group s as all other experimental areas and test beams. The facility is also par t of the EUCARD FP7 program as open access\, which aims at supporting and encouraging participation of EU collaborators interested in tests of mater ials for accelerator or detector R&D. \nThe installation of the dedicated line and experimental area in TCC6 and in the old WANF area (TNC tunnel) is planned during the 2010-2011 shutdown. The presentation following a br ief overview of the project will focus on the status and prospects for 201 0 activities and next shutdown. In particular\, the preparations for the WANF dismantling and the installation of the new facility will be presente d. Finally\, the issues concerning the operation of the facility: beam ti me and handling of the users will be discussed.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/c ontributionDisplay.py?contribId=25&sessionId=11&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=25&sessionId=11 &confId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Session Introduction DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100212T080000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100212T082000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-26@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BAIRD\, Simon ()\nThis talk will introduce the sessi on and outline the boundary conditions that have been set for the followin g presentations. \nSPL and PS2 are planned to replace the current LHC pre- injectors (LINAC4\, PSB & PS). However\, as SPL and PS2 will probably not be on-line and fully operational before early to mid-2020’s\, the existi ng machines will have to run for at least another 12-15 years. This sessio n will examine what actions should be envisaged to extend this lifetime fo r a further 10 years until the 2030’s\, which is the expected lifetime o f the LHC. Major upgrades of the Accelerator performance are not included. There will not be any written papers\, but the presentations will be stor ed as record of the proceedings.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisp lay.py?contribId=26&sessionId=12&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=26&sessionId=12 &confId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:How to ensure reliable LINAC4 operation for 25 years DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100212T082000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100212T084500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-27@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: VRETENAR\, Maurizio ()\nThis talk will present the m easures that have been taken to ensure reliable LINAC4 operation for 25 ye ars.

From this analysis a set of basic super cycles are proposed for the 2010 run\, which together w ith the accelerator schedule will lead to an overview of what the differen t facilities can deliver. At the same time this will identify the shortfal ls in number of particles or cycles.\nAt the end of the presentation an at tempt will be made to mention some points of possible improvement that cou ld potentially contribute to a better use of the facilities or an increase in the number of protons for certain users.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont ributionDisplay.py?contribId=3&sessionId=7&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=3&sessionId=7&c onfId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Beam requirements and operational scenarios in 2010 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100210T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100210T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-2@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: STEERENBERG\, Rende ()\n2010 will be another challen ging year for the CERN accelerator complex.

Under development since ea rly 2008\, the system is regularly deployed in operation during dedicated MDs in order to validate the latest developments and steer the next phases . This original approach proved itself fruitful as it produced important r esults in the last two years. In addition to the MDs\, a simplified versio n of the system was successfully deployed for the LEIR’09 run. The next goal is to deploy the system on the PS machine mid 2010. While we will str ive to keep the deployment’s negative effects on the PS operation to the minimum\, it is clear that this will not be transparent. Furthermore\, th e system will bring new features and performance improvements fulfilling l ong lasting requests such as a solution to the limited number of timing us ers.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId =7&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=5&sessionId=7&c onfId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Status and prospects for MTE DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100210T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100210T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-4@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GILARDONI\, Simone ()\nThe results achieved during t he Multi-Turn Extraction commissioning in 2009 will be presented and discu ssed in detail.

Needs of monitoring systems for radiation protection evolve with CERN activities. The talk will present the strategy chosen to replac e ARCON with RAMSES and will put the accent on availability\, maintainabil ity and durability of monitoring systems for radiation protection.\n\nhttp ://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=14&sessionId=10&confId= 70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=14&sessionId=10 &confId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Quality Assurance applied to Accelerator Safety DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T103000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T110000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-17@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GRUWE\, Magali ()\nThe aim of Quality Assurance is t o provide all stakeholders with the possibility to acquire the confidence that a given process or product meets a set of expected characteristics. \ nQuality Assurance applied to accelerator Safety requires the identificati on of the expected safety characteristics\, as well as the identification of Safety stakeholders with their respective roles.\nQuality Assurance in accelerator Safety is then explained through two examples:\nSome key equip ment (EIS) are assigned a Safety function to stop the beam to ensure perso nnel Safety in case of intrusion or during a regular access. We show how a structured Safety file can contribute to providing Quality Assurance rega rding these key equipment (EIS).\nIn preparation of and during maintenance operations on radioactive equipment or in a radioactive environment\, the application of the ALARA procedure is documented in a “Dossier d’Inte rvention en Milieu Radioactif”. The process and the document itself are presented to show how the confidence that the process respects the basic r adiation protection rules at all stages can be shared between intervening parties\, management and Safety responsible.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/cont ributionDisplay.py?contribId=17&sessionId=10&confId=70866 LOCATION:CERN Kjell Johnsen Auditorium URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=17&sessionId=10 &confId=70866 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Workplaces in Radiation Areas DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T100000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20100211T103000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130620T030901Z UID:indico-contribution-70866-16@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: VINCKE\, Heinz ()\nAn up-date on CERN’s radiation protection rules and procedures and their impact on accelerator operation and maintenance will be discussed.
