The LIU workshop will take place in Montreux, 13-15 February. The workshop will focus on the following three pillars, addressing the past experience/finding/projected beam performance reach, the LS2 system readiness/work execution, and the HW and beam commissioning preparatory and execution phases.
1. LIU Performance
- Wrap-up LIU beam performance reach - baseline and mitigation scenarios for both protons and ions
- Present the sensitivity of HL-LHC integrated performance reach to variations in LIU delivered parameters
- Summarise conclusions from run 2 MD and operation in 2018, in context of LIU parameters and performance
- List beam performance related activities in 2019-2020 (LS2) (data analysis, simulations, code development …)
- List LIU beam measurements needed during run3
2. LS2: system readiness and shutdown execution
- List RFI dates for LIU equipment in the context of machine installation planning
- Identify critical delivery path items (or already late) and discuss mitigation
- Review readiness prospects for selected highest risk/impact systems (incl. some IST)
- List known NCs or variation from specified equipment performance, and impact
- Present status of related general safety documentation and identify outstanding items
- Present risk analysis of LIU installation planning with mitigation (with agreed methodology)
- List hardware related improvements postponed to post LS2 and performance impact
- List of any items needing upgrade that were missed from LIU
- Overview of spares for start-up
3. LIU hardware and beam commissioning
- Activity organisation and responsibilities
- Review IST, requirements and identify potential risks with mitigations, in context of LS2 and restart planning
- HW commissioning: status of plans, requirements (services, signals, controls, applications, procedures, check-lists…), risks, mitigations, resource conflicts
- Beam commissioning: timeline, milestones, documentation for beam permit, pre-LS2 beam performance recovery and LIU beam commissioning plans, requirements (settings management, on-line monitoring, tools, applications)
Attendance is by invitation only.
