41. I-LHC Project overview

Stephan Maury (AB/ABP)

26/01/2006, 09:00

The LHC physics programme with heavy ions (lead-lead) collisions at a luminosity of 1027 cm-2s-1 requires an upgrade the ion injector chain: Linac3-LEIR-PS-SPS. The construction of LEIR is now finished and beam commissioning is under way. The status of the modifications in and around the PS and SPS (new injection system, rf gymnastics, stripping insertion) and the plans for their...

42. Experience with the GTS-LHC ion source

Detlef Küchler (AB/ABP)

26/01/2006, 09:30

For the heavy ion programme of the LHC a new ECRIS type heavy ion source had to be designed and built for Linac3 to fullfill the intensity requirements. Experience acquired during the installation and commissioning of the source and during operation for the LEIR ring commissioning will be presented. The performance of the source and its reliability are evaluated. Further requirements...

43. LEIR Commissioning

Christian Carli (AB/ABP)

26/01/2006, 10:00

After reporting on already completed phases of LEIR commissioning, an outlook and tentative schedule until completion aiming at providing the beam needed for first LHC ion runs will be given. Expected and unexpected problems and actions to tackle them are highligthed.

44. Post-mortem of Experience with LEIR Controls

Sergio Pasinelli (AB/OP)

26/01/2006, 11:00

The Low Energy Ion Ring LEIR was selected as a testbed, to validate certain concepts which will compose the LHC control system. LEIR is inserted between the Linac3 and PS accelerators which are completely controlled by the CPS control system. The LEIR control system is hybrid, as it is the aggregation of parts coming from the PS Complex control system and different components from the...

76. Gain of Experience for the Running-in of LHC

Marine Gourber-Pace (AB/CO)

26/01/2006, 11:30

The talk focuses on the results and the experience gained from the deployment of a new control system on LEIR during its running-in. From a technical viewpoint, the control system of LEIR presents challenging features. It is the result of the integration of new components foreseen for the LHC into the existing controls infrastructure deployed on the CERN [PS Complex] accelerators. As...

46. LEIR Electron Cooler

Gerard Tranquille (AB/BDI)

26/01/2006, 12:00

For the LEIR project, a new cooler has been constructed in collaboration with BINP Novosibirsk. It will deliver up to 600 mA of electron current at an energy of 2.3 keV (corresponding to the lead ion energy of 4.2 MeV/u) and has the advantage that the radius and density profile can be varied to match the characteristics of the injected lead ion beam. The device was delivered at the end...
