Council Chamber

Description

The session will cover things that have been done in 2005, which could affect the restart of PS and/or SPS

0. Magnets (AT/MEL)

Thomas ZICKLER

18/01/2006, 08:45

This presentation will review the major changes that have taken place on the PS and SPS magnet systems during 2005. In particular issues that could affect the restart and operation of the PS and SPS machines and their experimental areas in 2006 will be highlighted.

9. Kicker and septa status and expected performance at the 2006 start-up

Jan BORBURGH

18/01/2006, 09:15

An overview of the hardware changes in the PS and SPS related to kickers, septa, and septa protection devices will be given, including modifications to controls and interlocks. Performance related aspects of selected devices will be discussed, in particular in view of the future high-intensity and multi-cycling operation. The spare situation for particularly critical equipment will be reviewed.

4. Power Converters (AB-PO)

Jean-Paul BURNET

18/01/2006, 09:45

This presentation will review the major Power Converter issues that could affect the restart and operation of the PS and SPS machines and their experimental areas in 2006. This will include system modifications, repairs and upgrades, as well as changes to AB/PO support for Accelerator Operations in 2006.

19. RF concerns for the restart of the PS and SPS

Wolfgang HOFLE

18/01/2006, 10:35

This presentation will out line changes, which may disrupt the restart of the PS and SPS RF systems. Many of these changes are occurring outside the RF group. They include; responsibility for the various B-train systems, SPS timing software, remote computer access to hardware, moving to the CCC.

20. Restarting Cooling, Ventilation for PS and SPS

Serge DELEVAL

18/01/2006, 10:55

This talk will outline modifications and maintenance activities that taken place during 2005 on the Cooling, Ventilation for the PS and SPS. The speaker will also outline the plans for restarting systems and mention areas where problems could occur.

6. Controls Changes

Claude-Henri SICARD

18/01/2006, 11:15

What changes have been made for that will affect PS SPS Operation, application SW, timing and sequencing. What actions have been undertaken to ensure that we can restart PS and SPS correctly? Any other issues related to the very long stop

10. Beam Diagnostics and Instrumentation

Lars JENSEN, Michael LUDWIG

18/01/2006, 11:45

This presentation will review the major Beam Instrumentation issues that could affect the restart and operation of the PS and SPS machines and their experimental areas in 2006. The talk will cover system modifications, upgrades and areas where just getting the old hardware working after 18 months could be a challenge.

5. ATB Issues

Oliver ABERLE

18/01/2006, 12:15

This presentation will review the major ATB related issues that could affect the restart and operation of the PS and SPS machines and their experimental areas in 2006. The talk will cover system upgrades, repairs and areas where just getting the exisiting hardware working after 18 months could be a challenge.
