Architectural Review of the LHC Orbit & Tune Feedback Systems

Tuesday 7 May 2013, 09:00 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

866/2-D05 (CERN)

The aim of this review is to analyse the architecture of the LHC orbit, tune, energy and chromaticity feedback systems, with a view to consolidating their implementation for post LS1 running. In this context the reviewers have the charge of: • Identifying the limitations in the current implementation. • Identifying the areas where improvements must be made. • Proposing a revised architecture for post LS1 running.
