Description
Abstract:
This contribution will detail the summary of the LHC TDE dump block observations during the 2017 operational run, eventual limitations and the current plans for the YETS. Details will be provided on the efforts made to reduce potential downtime of the machine, including the interferometer readings, the redesign of the downstream window and graphite oxidation studies. Long-term perspectives for LS2 and LS3 will be provided as well in order to guarantee the long-term operability and availability of the dump block assembly.
