0. Experience from MP in LHC

Dr Markus Zerlauth (CERN)

06/06/2012, 09:30

The LHC machine protection system (MPS) has been constantly evolving over the past decade, to assure safe machine operation whilst avoiding additional downtime due to the required complex architecture of protection and interlock systems. An overview of the present machine protection architecture will be presented, along with experience in operating the MPS systems throughout the various...

1. Experience from MP in Flash, lessons for XFEL

Martin Staack

06/06/2012, 10:00

This presentation gives an overview of the Machine Protection System (MPS) for the Free electron LASer at Hamburg FLASH. It describes MPS components and functionality, development over the years. FLASH started as a test facility, had been extended and is now operated as a user facility. Similarities and differences of the MPS for FLASH and XFEL will be presented as well as operation...

2. Machine protection at the Jefferson Lab 1MW CEBAF electron accelerator

Mr Kelly Mahoney (TJNAF)

Jefferson Lab accelerators include the 1MW CEBAF electron machine as well as the high intensity Free Electron Laser. Borrowing risk management practices from the military, aerospace and chemical processing industries, Jefferson Lab manages a graded approach to identify and manage risk presented by beam operations. Constraints are then incorporated in to system level requirements across...

3. Machine protection plans in ESS

The European Spallation Source (ESS) aims to be the brightest source of neutrons in the world for scientific research. Located in Lund, Sweden, it is currently in the pre-construction phase with a plan to deliver first neutrons in 2019. The baseline specification is for a 5 MW proton power, long pulse facility delivering neutrons to 22 independent instruments that will foster major advances...

4. Machine protection challenges in ILC,

Marc Ross (Fermilab)

The ILC Machine Protection System (MPS) is that collection of devices intended to keep the beam from damaging machine components. With nominal average beam power of 20 MW, consisting of 14000 bunches of 2e10 ppb each per second, and typical beam sizes near 10 x 1 micron, both the damage caused by a single bunch and the residual radiation or heating caused by small (fractional) losses of a many...

5. Machine protection challenges in CLIC

Michael Jonker (CERN)

06/06/2012, 12:15

The proposed Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is based on a two-beam acceleration scheme. The energy of 48 high intensity, low energy drive beam trains is extracted and transferred to 2 low intensity, high energy main beams. A single drive beam-train has a damage potential that is two orders of magnitude above the level causing structural damage in copper. The extreme charge density due to the...
