Introduction and Mandate

• Wolfgang Hofle (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011

What could be useful after LS1 -- an OP perspective

• Jorg Wenninger (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Review of existing systems and how they could be better integrated to aid day-to-day machine operation and handling (online diagnostics, post-mortem, pre-analysis of which parameter to tune etc.). Impact of instabilities on machine operation and LHC luminosity performance.

What is needed after LS1 -- an ABP perspective

• Benoit Salvant (CERN)
• Tatiana Pieloni (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Review of transverse instabilities already observed and expected with operation at increased beam energy and intensities after LS1, and functional requirements on diagnostics systems to better understand and cure these instabilities. Impact of instabilities on machine operation and LHC luminosity performance.

What could be delivered -- RF

• Daniel Valuch (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Summary of planned upgrades to the existing bunch-by-bunch feedback system for after LS1. Integration into Q/Q' diagnostic & FB infrastructure. Future options for after LS2. Required resources and time-line.

What could be delivered -- BI

• Ralph Steinhagen (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Status and limitations of existing intra-bunch diagnostics systems. Summary of the proof-of-concept tests performed with beam in 2012 and potential application after LS1. Potential upgrades after LS2. Required resources and time-line.

Event Synchronisation and Logging Infrastructure - CO

• Jean-Claude Bau (CERN)
• Javier Serrano (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Review options for synchronisation to propagate the information about an instability across the accelerator, the latency of the current mechanisms in the timing system.

Data storage, Post-processing and Visualisation Infrastructure - CO

• Chris Roderick (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 Summary of the present system and upgrade plans during LS1 related to data storage, post-processing and visualisation infrastructure.

Summary and Recommendation

• Gianluigi Arduini (CERN)

Room: 874/1-011 round table with stake holders -- discussion and initial recommendation.
