The Future Circular Collider (FCC) demands extremely stringent vibrational stability and precise alignment of its arc cell components. This workshop contribution focuses on the development of a digital twin for the FCC arc cell mockup to address these critical mechanical challenges. The digital twin integrates comprehensive vibrational analysis data to create an accurate virtual model of the...
Test and measurement data is collected at various points in the life cycle of an accelerator magnet. By looking at the data through the lens of numerical modelling, e.g. with a numerical simulation at hand, one can exploit structure in complicated inverse problem solving and reverse engineering tasks. For this reason, the Test and Measurement section (TE-MSC-TM) is developing digital twins for...
As CERN operates its accelerator complex with a high-energy charged particle beam, the interaction of this beam with various systems designed to guide, shape, absorb and produce secondary particles, results in production of radioactive components and the activation of nearby equipment.
Consequently, the components need to be safely managed and handled once they are removed from the...
NA-CONS adopted an in-house methodology (OpenSE) supplemented by industry-wide acceptable standards (PMI) to establish Project management fundamentals within the Project. The project utilizes a combination of tools & processes to plan, execute, and monitor project deliverables. Briefly outline the benefits and limitations of this approach. Highlight the future paradigm and possible evolution...
The HL-LHC is a complex project involving numerous collaborations and diverse funding lines, including HL vs HL-CONS and sources from CERN vs In-Kind contributions. Its organization is based on Work Packages (WP), making it unmanageable without a methodological tool like Earned Value Management (EVM). According to the PMBOK Guide, EVM is "a management methodology for integrating scope,...
The HL-LHC aims to enhance the LHC performance increasing the LHC integrated luminosity by a factor of ten. The project relies on the design, fabrication and installation of cutting-edge systems and equipment. Methodological coordination management is crucial to handle the complex interlinked deliverables and successfully integrate them into the new HL-LHC facilities and LHC tunnel.
This...
As part of this workshop, the main objective of the "EN-CV Project Management Process" presentation is to expose the means made available by the CV Group to establish a global and unified quality process. This process aims to define the internal organization, clarify the roles of the different stakeholders and detail the progress of CV projects from receipt of user requirements to the...
