Dr Steve Myers (CERN)13/01/2005, 09:00Committees Review and RecommendationsBesides its deep involvement in the LHC, the AB department must maintain and upgrade CERN's Accelerators and Beams to fulfill the physics programme as defined in the Medium Term Plan. In particular, recent decisions made by the Research Board after the "Villars meeting" have set the scene of the non-LHC activities for the coming years, with some implications on the AB work plan.

Baird Simon (CERN)13/01/2005, 09:20Committees Review and RecommendationsThe overall performance of the accelerators in 2004 will be presented, in terms of beam intensity and availability. This performance will be compared with the original expectations and the performance from previous years. This comparison will reveal a degradation in accelerator performance, possible causes for which will be identified. These will include ageing equipment,...Go to contribution page

Dr Michael Benedikt (CERN)13/01/2005, 09:50Committees Review and RecommendationsThe capabilities and the performance of the CERN accelerator complex are analyzed, based on the present status of the accelerators. This is done by estimating the availability of proton beams for the period 2006 to 2010 and comparing it to the anticipated physics programme, to highlight any possible shortfall, especially for SPS physics. Typical operation scenarios with yearly running...Go to contribution page

Gianluigi Arduini (AB-ABP)13/01/2005, 10:20Committees Review and RecommendationsIn 2004 an ambitious programme of machine studies has been conducted in the PS and SPS complex. Beams for LHC commissioning and physics have been prepared in the injector chain and progress has been made in the understanding and in the solution of the present performance limitations. The SPS has been heavily used as a test-bed for LHC hardware prototypes and to study the...Go to contribution page

Louis RINOLFI (CERN)13/01/2005, 11:10Committees Review and RecommendationsAfter one year of shut-down, at the restart of the PS&SPS complex in 2006, all the injector chain for the LHC and all accelerators for the Physics should work as reliable machines. The major installations, modifications and consolidation work will be reviewed for Linac2, PSB, PS, SPS, AD and transfer lines. The following questions “what is planned in 2005?” and “what could...Go to contribution page

Lau Gatignon (CERN)13/01/2005, 11:40Committees Review and RecommendationsThe present layout, capabilities and performance of the CERN fixed target experimental areas are described, in particular the North and East areas, nTOF, Isolde and the AD. The future possibilities and known modifications will be outlined, taking into account the expected evolution of the accelerator performance and the recommendations from the Villars meeting of the SPSC....Go to contribution page

Paolo Cennini (CERN)13/01/2005, 12:10Committees Review and RecommendationsThe international Safety Rules concerning the Access to radioactive areas are requiring the closure of the PS Complex during the shutdown. In order to comply with this rules, a new access procedure based on the existing system, will be implemented in the period December 2004 - Easter 2006. The modifications introduced in the Inflector area and the possible scenario(s) concerning...Go to contribution page
