Mr E. Tsesmelis25/05/2005, 09:00LHC and ExperimentsPresentationThe 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...Go to contribution page

Mrs A.L. Perrot, Mr T. Wijnands25/05/2005, 09:20LHC and ExperimentsPresentationIn 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...Go to contribution page

Mr A. Cherif, Mr S. Atieh25/05/2005, 09:50LHC and ExperimentsPresentationThe 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...Go to contribution page

Mr P. Ninin25/05/2005, 10:20LHC and ExperimentsPresentationThe 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...Go to contribution page
