Dr Roger Bailey (CERN)12/09/2005, 14:15OtherOralAfter a brief reminder of the installation schedule and the performance goals that the LHC aims to achieve, the strategy for commissioning with protons is presented. Dedicated runs with ions and protons are mentioned, and how machine operation may be scheduled through a year is shown. Potential trouble spots during the operational cycle are then highlighted and an estimate of the...Go to contribution page

Dr Thijs Wijnands (CERN)12/09/2005, 15:00Radiation and Magnetic Tolerant Components and SystemsOralThe impact of particle losses on the operation of the LHC machine and experiments will be discussed. It will be shown how the risk of radiation induced failure to equipment can be reduced via shielding, radiation tolerant equipment designs and on- line radiation monitoring. A number of critical cases for the LHC Machine Experiments interface will be highlighted. Recent data on beam...Go to contribution page

Prof. Antonio Ciccolella (ESA-ESTEC)12/09/2005, 16:15Distributed power systems offer many benefits to system designers over central power systems such as reduced weight and size. Distributed systems also allow the designers to control the quality of power at different loads and subsystems, since DC-DC converters allow close regulation of output voltage under wide variations of input voltages and loads. Distributed power systems also...Go to contribution page

Dr Robert Stokstad (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, for the IceCube Collaboration)12/09/2005, 17:00OralThe first sensors of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory were deployed at the South Pole in January 2005 – 60 modules on one string at depths from 1450 to 2450 meters and 16 modules in eight tanks at the surface. We present an overview of the electronics for IceCube and demonstrate their performance with experimental data obtained for cosmic ray muons. Analog waveforms of pmt signals are...Go to contribution page
