Ilias Efthymiopoulos24/01/2007, 14:00Introduction to North & East Area and CNGSThe restart of the accelerator complex in 2006 after the long shutdown found all the beam lines of PS and SPS fully booked with impatient users and experiments. The introduction of the new CESAR control software for the SPS North Area beam lines along with the deployment of the new renovated hardware for the beam instrumentation helped achieving an overall quite positive score....Go to contribution page

Karel Cornelis24/01/2007, 14:20Operations in 2006 and 2007 for East and North AreaIn this contribution, the operation of the NORTH AREA, CNGS and PS EAST HALL will be discussed. The operation is organised in a close collaboration with the secondary beam line physicists who take care of the lay out and the setting up of the different lines. Frequent changes in the beam lines, conflicting user demands and special devises (magnetic horns, spectrometers, special...Go to contribution page

Vito Baggiolini24/01/2007, 14:40Software and instrumentationThis presentation starts with a brief reminder of the renovation project and a review the work that has been so done far, both at hardware and software level. It then focuses on missing functionality and problems experienced during the Physics Run 2006. Based on this information, and taking into account requirements and priorities for the Run 2007, a work plan is presented for...Go to contribution page

Willi Kalbreier (AT/MEL)24/01/2007, 14:55Magnet status in North and East Area and transfer linesThe problems encountered with the F61S.BHZ01 (MNP23) magnet and design improvements will be discussed. For the operation in 2007 it is proposed to replace it by a suitable C-shaped magnet allowing to service the North and the South branches on different super-cycles. The status of ‘weak’ magnets, the insufficient spare situation, the problem of too restricted accessibility in a high...Go to contribution page

Yves Gaillard (AB/PO)24/01/2007, 15:30Rectifier status – evaluation of NA rectifier controls renovationSlidesAround 300 power converters are in service for the SPS north area since the end of the seventies. Their electronic generates four times more failures than the power converters of the SPS ring. The presentation will detail the works done under the EA renovation project. The start-up problems of the new POWERJC will be explained. The major concerns for operation in the coming years...Go to contribution page

Rui Nunes (TS/CSE)24/01/2007, 15:45Access system statusSlidesThis paper and accompanying presentation shall discuss principles and architecture of the foreseen Access system for all CERN Experimental Areas and the current status of implementation. The objective is to obtain a PLC-based safety system that can be scalable from the size of the PS to the size of the SPS experimental areas and that can be easily reconfigured as the areas...Go to contribution page

Christoph Rembser (PH/ATT)24/01/2007, 16:15Outlook by the Physics CoordinatorSlidesIn this presentation, an overview on the schedule for beam-tests and experiments at the PS and SPS in the year 2007 will be given. The status of experiments at the CERN accelerator facilities will be briefly reviewed, and the demands for the 2007 run period will be presented. For experiments and beam- tests which are approved for a running beyond 2007, a summary of their plans and...Go to contribution page
