BE/BI Technical board on LHC Injector start-up (excluding ion-chain and SPS)

Thursday 13 Feb 2014, 09:00 → 12:00 Europe/Zurich

866 2-D05 (CERN)

This meeting aims at updating status for the existing accelerators in the PS-complex. The presentations should focus on systems on LN2, PSB and PS and should concentrate on critical issues. For each section, the list of projects will be provided as input based on the lists made here: https://espace.cern.ch/be-dep-bi-tb/Lists/BI%20Approved%20Project/ListOfProjects.aspx
