    Keeping Linac2 going until Linac4
    Slides
    Linac 2 is entering its 29th year of operation and still provides a very high availability of proton beams for injection into the PSB. The main issues of the last few years operation will be summarised, and the consolodation foreseen in the future will be presented.

    Controls issues through the backbone
    Slides
    The LHC injector chain had a difficult restart in spring 2006. Apart from the major hardware related problems that are discussed in first session, there were also control issues, in the large sense of the word, that deserve or need attention. The SPS software big bang is now over and the dust has only just landed. A brief overview of the encountered problems, the remaining work but...

  4. 33. Rapid SC changes: can it ever work?

    Rapid SC changes: can it ever work?
    Slides
    Rapid supercycle changes are essential to ensure best usage of the machines in theLHC area. Fast cycle changes can be limited by controls issues, equipment limitations and magnetic history. Current limitations are reviewed for the SPS that is now running under the new LSA control system. Issues of reproducibility at the PS and PSB will be discussed.

    Beam Loss and Radiation with High intensity Beams
    Slides
    High intensity beams will be a new challenge in term of losses reduction for the injector complex, in particular at the PS. This talk will present the identified sources of losses in the PS during high-intensity operations, with particular attention to the CNGS. Possible solutions to alleviate the impact of the increased irradiation on both the machine equipments and the area...

  6. 34. Operational issues in the low-level beam controls of the PS

    Can we make the RF controls in the PS simpler?
    Slides
    The remarkable versatility of the PS machine comes at the price of the complexity of its rf beam controls, which never cease to evolve. Historically, these systems have not only been maintained, but to a large extent, have also been operated by the specialists who put them together. How can we ensure their operational reliability when such expertise is becoming thin on the ground?

    The SPS Beam Dump
    Slides
    During the 2006 SPS run problems with the SPS beam dumping system were encountered. The newly installed beam dump block TIDVG showed strong outgassing when high intensity beams were dumped on the block. This often resulted in an interlock of the injection kicker system MKP located close to the TIDVG and by this stopping the SPS operation. Possible cures for 2007 and longer term...
