AB and LHC Project Seminar: RHIC Commissioning

by Mike Harrison (Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), USA)

Friday 10 Jun 2005, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Zurich

PS Auditorium (CERN)

There has only been three large super-conducting accelerators built to date, the most recent, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. I will review the early commissioning of the machine covering the final stages of hardware installation and the initial beam operation. Covering topics such as tunnel installation, vacuum, cryogenics and power converters I will look at items that caused problems and answer the time honoured conundrum of 'how many engineering does it take commission a power converter?
