- Lessons learnt for MP hole in vacuum pipe, diamond BLMs broken, stripping foil broken, other beam incidents …
- Report on LINAC4 review
- BIS configuration – check with PSB talk, as one common BIS architecture. New specification
- Experience with settings management
- Outstanding issues
- Source interlock (RF HV).
- Use of timing to select beams. Interface to External Conditions and SIS

New SPS GMT monitoring to be put in place in SPS after LS2
Go to contribution page
- External conditions – SIS – Timing
- What is in place for the different injectors
- Upgrade of EC foreseen for LS2, problems interfacing FGC
- Longer term plans for SIS and external conditions development. Should these two be merged in the long-term future (next to a hardware BIS)? -
Klaus Hanke (CERN)08/05/2019, 16:10
- Experience with protection
- Protection strategy mid and long-term
- External conditions & SIS
- External conditions upgrade LS2 by BE-ICS check against talk Greg/Miguel below for overlap
- No safe beam flag in PSB and PS, manage interlocks per beam type / external conditions
- What about BIS in the long-term future? PS dump, connection to PSB extraction BIC
- PS SEM grids and...

- Booster interlocking
- Upgrade of switching magnet power supply BHZxxx which leads to dump
- External conditions, SIS, BIS and 4-ring flexibility
- Procedures for masking BIS and making changes to timing to get beam for <4 rings. Automate? Software, reminders?
- Fault diagnostic – BIS diagnostics by cycle. BIS GUI OP and history buffers.
- Operability?
