39. From MD into operational use (20' + 5')

Jan Uythoven (CERN)

Abstract:
The Machine Development studies performed over the last years have been analysed with the aim to assess their merit for operation of the LHC. Special attention is given to those MDs which have found a direct operational use. MDs more indirectly related to operation, like machine protection or hardware development, are also identified. It is also tried to estimate which MDs performed...

40. MDs on the menu before LS2 (20' + 5')

Abstract:
LHC is ending 2017 with an unprecedented performance. We analyse the possible next steps in machine developments
to continue improving performance in coming runs, upgrades and future accelerators.

42. A users view on exploiting the control system in MDs (15' + 5')

Giovanni Iadarola (CERN)

Abstract:
After almost 10 years of beam operation, machine studies at the LHC are becoming more and more advanced and complex. This translates into a need for advanced software tools to acquire, log, manipulate, analyze machine data as well as to control the installed equipment. The different teams, often in collaboration, have developed several innovative solutions for this purpose. This...

43. Can we make the preparation of MDs more efficient? (15' + 5')

Belen Maria Salvachua Ferrando (CERN)

Abstract:
In 2017, four Machine Development (MD) periods were scheduled at the LHC with the goal to study beam parameters and new ways to optimise the operation of the machine (LHC and HL-LHC). Before the start of the studies certain preparation and coordination is required in order to guarantee a successful MD (if the machine availability permits). This talk will try to review the rMPP...
