Machine Protection and Operation (part II)

The position of each collimator jaw in the LHC must be known at any time within very tight tolerances. To ensure this, a number of features have been implemented into the design of the collimator. The position and angle control for the jaws will be described from the mechanical point of view as well as for the electronics, controls and interlocks at the level defined up to now. A...

Machine Protection and Operation (part II)

The critical components and interfaces of the machine protection system will not depend on the control system per se. However, controls are implicated in a number of areas. These include pre- and post operation checks, the need for efficient and accurate post- mortem analysis, and the need to maintain secure equipment settings which could vary with the beam energy and intensity. Other...

Machine Protection and Operation (part II)

A simplified model of the machine protection system which includes the Beam Interlock System, the Beam Loss Monitors, the Quench Protection System, the Powering Interlock Controller and the Beam Dumping System has been studied. The model provides quantitative results for safety and availability of the complete system. The importance of the assumed redundancy at the source of the dump...
