Description

o Keywords:

  • operational and controls aspects, scheduling, physics concepts, timing system, forum, beam instrumentation, performance monitoring, optimisation algorithms/machine learning

o Points to be addressed and questions to be answered:

  • Discuss requirements and ideas to improve and facilitate operation after LS2
    • Consider operational and controls aspects
  • Discuss common scheduling strategies between injectors and LHC, including MDs to achieve LIU parameters.
  • Define strategies for setting-up.
  • Incorporation of physics concepts into the control system: where do we stand and what remains to be done?
    • Address settings management, improved LSA-tools interface, optics integration, …
  • Short and long-term improvements of the timing system (cycle and sequence management)
  • Address the establishment of a common body/forum to align concepts and strategies among the injectors.
  • Address the commissioning of beam instrumentation (wire scanners, ALPS, BGI, …) including potential additional manpower requirements
  • Discuss a common strategy across machines for follow-up and performance tracking
    • required tools, potential additional developments
  • How can operation benefit from optimisation algorithms and machine learning tools?
