29th EP Magnet Working Group Meeting

Friday 26 Jun 2026, 15:30 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

2/R-030 (CERN)

Matthias Mentink (CERN), Nicola Pacifico (CERN)

Present: Lukas Messner, Nicola Pacifico, Shruti, Valentina. Reynaud, Christoph Rembser, Xavier Pons, Matthias Mentink, Fernando

Zoom: Laurent Roy, Benoit Cure, Maciej Ostrega

 

Presentation from Fernando on AI for the LHCb magnets Gauges

CERN LLM Service for development

• Open AI
• LLama3 hosted at CERN

 

Genesis and Fenix are written in Python

The platform can interface with control systems, time series data service, etc.

Data governance is a sensitive topic, that might eventually require models, like this, to be run locally rather then on the Cloud

One can envisage an online monitoring tool that might give real time warnings on the status of the magnet (or equipment in general)

Data updates are still done manually. In case there is an update in the documentation, at the moment, it has to be updated manually. This can be done by different people depending on their belonging to specific egroups.

Round table

Benoit: Warm up of CMS magnet ongoing. Magnet warm in 3 weeks. Concerning Al-SSC, now rutherford cable is being used with Tratos and they are doing the first tests with the new machine and new line. 

Maarten: one bit of news: The NA60+ got the recommendation from the research board, so it will go ahead with the TDR.

Nicola: Starting the planning of the ALICE SC Solenoid, in 2029-2030

Xavier: waiting for Monday to switch off the magnets, except the ATLAS Solenoid and start officially the LS3.

Lukas: Calibrating the cards for Amber and Meinz

Matthias: Discharged the ATLAS Toroid, Solenoid in July.
