LHC and Experiments
Presentation
The experimental areas are the geographical interface between the LHC experiments and
the accelerator. An organisational structure pertaining to the experimental areas has
been put in place to coordinate and manage the financial, manpower and logistic
resources, to make sure of an effective interface to the experiments and to the LHC
machine, to develop, monitor and implement schedules, to...

LHC and Experiments
Presentation
In contrast with other accelerators at CERN, a large amount of technical equipment
will be located in the LHC tunnel, the underground areas and in the experimental
caverns where they will be exposed to radiation. Nearly all these equipment make, to
a certain extent, use of commercial microelectronics which is extremely sensitive to
radiation damage, both instantaneous damage and cumulative...

LHC and Experiments
Presentation
The Cryogenic Distribution Line (QRL), running along the machine tunnel parallel to
the regular lattice of superconducting quadrupole and dipole magnets of LHC,
distributes the refrigeration fluids produced by the refrigerators over long
distances. With a total length of about 25.8 km, the QRL consists of a modular set-up
of pipe and Service Modules (SM), Vacuum Barriers (VB), Fixed Points...

LHC and Experiments
Presentation
The LHC complex is divided into a number of zones with different levels of access
controls. Inside the interlocked areas, the personnel protection is ensured by the
LHC Access System. The system is made of two parts: the LHC Access Safety System and
the LHC Access Control System. During machine operation, the LHC Access Safety System
ensures the collective protection of the personnel...
