After 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...

Radiation and Magnetic Tolerant Components and Systems
Oral
The 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...

Distributed 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...

The 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...
