Engineering Forum: experiences from cooling systems for LHC detectors

Thursday 30 Oct 2008, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/Zurich

40-S2-A01 (CERN)

The Forum wants to give an overview on the specialised cooling systems constructed for the LHC experiments, underlining the difficulties encountered during the construction and commissioning phases. Major emphasis will be given to the solutions adopted and to the experience gained during the first months of operation. In this Forum we wish to exchange experiences and ideas in view of the future upgrades for the LHC detectors. General Information: For all people attending this Forum who do not have a CERN access card, please send your name and the dates you will be at CERN to Kate Ross (kate.ross@cern.ch) For registering your laptop whilst at CERN please go to this page: https://network.cern.ch/sc/fcgi/sc.fcgi?Action=VisitorRegistration
