Machine Protection Issues affecting Beam Commissioning Session 8 - Machine Protection Issues affecting Beam Commissioning

Speaker

Dr Ralph Assmann (CERN)

Description

An inventory of all collimators and beam absorbers in the LHC ring is presented. The required settings of the various devices are discussed, the roles in beam cleaning and machine protection are explained and limitations are explored. A basic strategy for commissioning of all collimators and absorbers is explained, including a specification on the necessary prerequisites on optics, orbit, etc. The required cleaning performance and protection is discussed as a function of beam intensity and various required steps in commissioning of collimators and absorbers are presented.
