Description
The protection system for LHC beam operation is composed of 'client systems' that may
request beam dumps, of a beam interlock system that transmits the requests and of a
beam dumping system that extracts the beams to the beam dump blocks. The various
players involved in beam interlocking will be presented, and the core systems that
are required before beam operation may start will be highlighted. Possibilities to
stage some of the systems during the commissioning phase will be discussed.
Diagnostics and controls requirements will be discussed.
