Description
Aim of the session is to provide information and to give a summary of the most important commissioning and test activities for the CCC & linked systems and all machines that were not running in 2005. This covers the so-called “hardware test phase” from end of installations and modifications up to the cold-check out of the machines. All beam related aspects are covered in Session 3.

Rui NUNES18/01/2006, 14:50This talk will present the changes resulting from the move from the MCR to the CCC for the PS access control system and the displacement of the SPS access consoles in to the CCC respectively. The PS access system has been modified to be able to operate with a console located 4 km’s away. A project to upgrade and replace the PS secondary areas access control has been launched. The same...Go to contribution page

Raymond BROWN (CERN)18/01/2006, 15:40After the extended shutdown of 2005/6 there has been extensive work on the PS Ring, which will require some special start-up and testing. Mentioned will be the changes to the layout of elements in the straight sections, the main magnet units which have been revised and the auxiliary magnets which after many years of disuse have finally been purged from the machine. I shall present the...Go to contribution page

Nicolas GILBERT18/01/2006, 16:10Following the particular extended shutdown of 2004/2005, the main activities on the SPS machine will be presented, focusing on the few activities which could impact on a "standard" restart. A simplified planning shall be presented, underlining the overlap time period during which the hardware tests will be carried out in parallel with the completion of some installation...Go to contribution page

Ilias EFTHYMIOPOULOS18/01/2006, 16:40The startup of 2006 will find the SPS beam lines with renovated hardware and control software. The hardware renovation includes a major part of the beam instrumentation, the access system, the vacuum and possibly the magnet control. The new control software is built in unison with the control software for the accelerators thus marking the end of NODAL era for the secondary beams. A...Go to contribution page
