L'Esplanade du Lac, Divonne-les-Bains

47. Planning

Esther Barbero Soto (TS/HDO)

27/01/2006, 09:00

The planning of the installation of LHC from the injection to Pt7 for the sector test will be reviewed. Special attention will be paid to components which are on the critical path for the success of the first injection. Possible interferences with on going and future installation activities will be mentioned and their consequences on the overall LHC installation activities highlighted.

91. Global hardware status

Jose Miguel Jimenez (CERN)

27/01/2006, 09:25

Starting from the TI8 dump (TED) up to the end of the continuous cryostat in IP7, the availability in the tunnel of all components in the beam line e.g. the vacuum, cryogenic, collimation, protection devices, beam instrumentation and magnet systems will be reviewed. The impact of delays and potential limitations will also be presented.

84. Layout in LSS7

Jan Uythoven (CERN)

27/01/2006, 09:50

The sector test requires the installation of specific equipments in LHC LSS7. The layout after the continuous cryostat in IP7, to be used during the sector test, is presented. A special emphasis will be given on the installation of the temporary equipment, like the beam dump, additional shielding, radiation monitors and beam instrumentation in this region.

89. Hardware Commissioning

Roberto Saban (CERN)

27/01/2006, 10:15

The preparation for the injection tests of the equipment described in the two previous presentations will be given in detail. The level of the commissioning of the equipment will depend on the time available between the cool down and the end of the injection test: this level can vary from the complete commissioning up to nominal current of all the circuits to the minimum current required...

51. State of LHCB for the Test

Massimiliano Ferro-Luzzi (PH/LBD)

27/01/2006, 11:10

During the sector test the beam has to cross IP8 and the vacuum continuity must be ensured through the experiment. The installation schedule of the experiment will be presented and the possible mutual interferences with the sector test highlighted. The temporary layout of IP8 and the vacuum conditions for this test in the region IP8 will be shown.

52. Radiation Issue

Helmut Vincke (SC/RP)

27/01/2006, 11:35

The radiation safety measures during the sector test will be described. The consequences of these temporary measures on the on going installation activity will be considered. The implications of the test on future activities will also be shown with a special attention to the possible activation by beam losses of LHC components and their effects on future installation activities in the zone.

53. Temporary Access System

Pierre Ninin (TS/CSE)

27/01/2006, 12:00

The temporary access system required for the sector test is described. Special hardware needed will be listed as well as the software necessary to monitor the access. The procedures and limitations for accessing the zone will also be described
