Description

Cryogenics, electrical network and cooling & ventilation faults accounted for nearly 30% of LHC down time in 2015-2025. Extrapolation to equivalent systems in the FCC-ee suggests a similarly high contribution, posing a substantial challenge to achieving the ambitious availability targets for this large and complex machine. This presentation illustrates key statistics from infrastructure faults in the LHC significant to the FCC-ee availability challenge. Conclusions are drawn from an enhanced Monte Carlo simulation of these FCC-ee systems, highlighting core areas of concern. Finally, various proposals for mitigation are discussed.
