CERN visits have been organised for Friday 3 July from 15:30 to 17:00 to the CCC and SM18 sites. Participants will be separated in two groups and each group will visit the two sites.
The CERN Control Centre (CCC) combines the control rooms of the Laboratory’s eight accelerators, as well as the piloting of cryogenics and technical infrastructures. The performance of the LHC depends on the injector chain that feeds it. The CCC helps control this extensive process by joining all of the accelerator operators with the engineering and cryogenics departments. By coordinating the process of injection, the CCC guarantee a high-quality beam. The centre also manages the beams of CERN’s other facilities. Similar to a rail network that uses the same infrastructure to send passengers toward various destinations, the accelerators of CERN can transport several beams simultaneously and adapt each one to a given facility.
Supra conducting magnet test facility (SM18) is a unique facility at CERN for testing magnets and instrumentation at very low temperature (lowest being 1.9 K) and up to high currents (20 kA). It is equipped with 10 benches for testing superconducting magnets in horizontal or vertical position. CERN will offer infrastructure or equipment and expert support to carry out: tests for instrumentation and superconducting magnets in vertical or horizontal test benches, magnetic measurements of all types of accelerator magnets.
