Committees Review and Recommendations
Besides 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. The...

Committees Review and Recommendations
The 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,...

Committees Review and Recommendations
The 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...

Committees Review and Recommendations
In 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...

Committees Review and Recommendations
After 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...

Committees Review and Recommendations
The 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....

Committees Review and Recommendations
The 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...
