Description
The talk gives a summary of data (and their location) as is planned
to be collected
in warm and cold conditions in the various LHC magnets. This data
can and shall be
made available for start-up. I will present a view on how the data
can be used, in
practice, to prepare for injection, forecast ramps of the main
magnets and
correctors. To achieve this we need information from standard tests,
that provide
information on magnets field quality to be compared directly to
production
specifications and for characterization of the static behaviours, as
well as extended
tests that are presently performed on a one-by-one basis to
ascertain scalings in the
injection behaviour, and to verify long term changes. One of the
matters presently
investigated is snap-back scaling that could provide accurate
forecast at the
beginning of the ramp. I will detail on this. Finally, as most of
these ideas were
discussed at the July RMS review, I will give a status of the
related activities.
