Remote Control of Heterogeneous Sensors for 3d Lhc Collimator Alignment
Periodically the alignment of LHC collimators needs to be verified. Access for personnel is limited due to the level of radiation close to the collimators. The required measurement precision must be comparable to the other equipment in the LHC tunnel, meaning 0.15 mm in a sliding window of 200 m. Hence conventional measurements take 4 days for a team of 3 people. This presentation covers the de...
متن کاملUltimate Lhc Beam
The present status of the nominal LHC beam in the LHC injector complex and the limitations towards the achievement of the ultimate brightness are outlined.
متن کاملLhc Beam Instrumentation
Six years before the scheduled commissioning of the LHC at CERN, the basic list of beam instruments has been established. This early date is needed due to the impact of the mechanical design of some detectors (mainly the beam position detectors) on the cryogenic part of the machine as well as for other projects due to the long R&D period (emittance measurements, tune and chromaticity diagnostic...
متن کاملAutomatic Computer Algorithms for Beam-based Setup of the Lhc Collimators∗
Beam-based setup of the LHC collimators is necessary to establish the beam centers and beam sizes at the collimator locations and determine the operational settings during various stages of the LHC machine cycle. Automatic software algorithms have been successful in reducing the costly beam time required for the alignment, as well as significantly reducing human error. In this paper, the beam-b...
متن کاملBeam-based Magnetic Alignment of the Final Focus Test Beam*
In order to optimize tunability and backgrounds in linear collider final focus systems, it is necessary to align strong quadrupole and sextupole magnets with beam-based measurements. Algorithms for alignment have been used successfully on the Final Focus Test Beam (FFTB) beamline at SLAC. Quadrupole magnets were aligned using a shunt technique, with resolutions from 50 microns down to 700 nanom...
