2. Building an accelerator, from engineering to alignment

Riccardo De Maria (CERN)

25/06/2024, 08:45

Engineering tools are essential to the construction of an accelerator. They are used from the very early stages in the processes that bring objectives and ideas to a conceptual design, engineering specifications, mechanical models, installation plans and finally installation with fine-tuned alignment.
The talk uses the HL-LHC project to illustrate a selection of tools that are used in the...

3. Managing physical configurations of CERN accelerators with Layout

Pascal Le Roux (CERN)

25/06/2024, 09:10

The Layout platform is comprehensive centralised solution designed to manage the physical configuration of CERN facilities over time.
This platform aims to provide a unified, coherent, and controlled source for functional positions and their layouts by uniquely identifying the components, classifying their functions and core properties, assemblies and connections.
The platform is used across...

6. Transforming engineering processes with the new Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) platform

Claudio Scoero (CERN)

25/06/2024, 09:35

This presentation will explore the pivotal role of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) in modern engineering. It will outline the scope and milestones of CERN’s PLM Project, aimed at digitalizing engineering workflows and improving process efficiencies. The presentation will also explain how the PLM platform helps managing the Digital Thread, which in turn is fundamental to effectively...

5. Bridging physical and digital worlds with a mechanical digital twin

Oscar Sacristan De Frutos (CERN)

25/06/2024, 10:00

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...

19. Developing digital twins for accelerator magnets

Mr Melvin Liebsch (TE-MSC-MM)

25/06/2024, 10:50

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...

4. Developing electronics boards through standardisation, specialised tools and collaboration

Andrea Boccardi (CERN)

25/06/2024, 11:15

The Beam Instrumentation Group (SY-BI) is responsible for designing, building and maintaining the instruments that allow observation of the particle beams and the measurement of related parameters for all CERN accelerators and transfer lines. Those instruments are often highly specialised and require the design of dedicated electronics, especially but not only for the elements exposed to...

7. Improving future designs by learning from radioactive waste-management experiences

Jean-Louis Grenard (CERN)

25/06/2024, 11:40

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...

20. Engineering design tools and processes for cryogenics

Andrew John Lees (CERN)

25/06/2024, 12:05

The Mechanical and Engineering support section of the Cryogenics group (TE-CRG-ME) is heavily involved in the design, production, installation and commissioning of a wide range of cryogenic devices and systems for the experiments, accelerators and test facilities at CERN.
To increase the efficiency of our work and improve the standardization to the norms, calculations and methods used for...
