An overview will be given of the 2009 operation within the complete CERN accelerator complex (excluding the LHC). The year proved very successful with the majority of physics user expectations fulfilled, even surpassed, and culminating in the LHC restart at the end of November. The ion accelerator chain could also celebrate the first ion beam injected into the LHC on 23rd of October...

2010 will be another challenging year for the CERN accelerator complex. The clear priority will be the LHC with a run from late February through to November. The LHC schedule includes a four week ion run at the end of the year. The complex will also have to deliver beam to serve the rich non-LHC physics program. The year’s requirements are enumerated and the demanded beam detailed. The 2010...

3. Beam requests vs what can be delivered (p and ions)

The demand for particles, protons and ions, from the different facilities is increasing and meeting the requirements set by our clients becomes more and more a challenge, even more now the LHC is online too. In order to comply as much as possible to the committed physics program, the user requirements are listed together with a brief analysis on how they could be met. From this analysis a...

4. Status and prospects for MTE

The results achieved during the Multi-Turn Extraction commissioning in 2009 will be presented and discussed in detail. A number of criteria still have to be fulfilled before considering this beam fully operational. The steps to take in this direction will be reviewed. Emphasis will be given on the lessons learnt, and the studies to be carried out along with a strategy for 2010 will be...

5. Status and plans for INCA

InCA is the renovation project of the high-level controls of the PS complex. Under development since early 2008, the system is regularly deployed in operation during dedicated MDs in order to validate the latest developments and steer the next phases. This original approach proved itself fruitful as it produced important results in the last two years. In addition to the MDs, a simplified...
