Description
It is during startup and commissioning of new features in the accelerator that beam
instrumentation is mostly needed and it is also during these periods that most of
the instrumentation problems crop up. In this talk we will analyze problems that
have occurred during the 2004 startup, and try to find reasons for failures and ways
to improve in the future. The situation of the PS and PS-Booster wire scanners and
actions taken during the year as well as during the 2005 shutdown will be presented.
Several sensors destined for the LHC have been tested in the PS complex and in the
SPS. Preliminary results of these tests will be reviewed.
