5 LHC sector test - MAC June 07 5 Triplets & LHCb Aiming for minimal losses in LHCb

6 LHC sector test - MAC June 07 6 Sector 7-8 X 23

7 LHC sector test - MAC June 07 7 IR7 layout 1. Intercept the beam with the three TCP s and with the TCSG s 2. Invert the polarity of D3 3. Switch OFF all the quadrupoles Stefano Raedelli Ralph Assmann D3 inverted D3 OFF Nominal orbit

8 LHC sector test - MAC June 07 8 Intercepting the beam with the TCP s

9 LHC sector test - MAC June 07 9 IR7 Three TCPs closed smartly, D3 in opposite polarity, quadrupoles off All beam particles interact with >1m of C (typical=1.8m; max=3m) Additional protection from the next secondary collimators EM showers are expected to be absorbed by MBW and MQW yokes (no issues for magnet). Detailed estimates should confirm that. Minimum impact on the machine: - D3 polarity change (cable). - Lock collimators in position - Local activation - simulations to be performed.

10 Motivation

11 LHC sector test - MAC June Integration Full test of a majority of subsystems over more than one eighth of the ring Allows staged approach to the full problem space Time to fully resolve problems before the real thing Analysis, improvements, resolution, adjustment The lessons learnt will reduce the time needed for full commissioning Buys breathing space if there are any serious problems

12 LHC sector test - MAC June Integration & commission with beam: Full-blown system wide integration test

13 LHC sector test - MAC June Beam the ultimate diagnostic Polarity of magnetic elements Aperture in the cold machine Response of key beam instrumentation Magnet field quality "What like a bullet can undeceive?" Herman Melville

20 LHC sector test - MAC June Required circuits To get beam through sector 78, the main circuits listed above are required to be commissioned to 450 GeV. For limited recycling, it would be preferable for listed circuits to be available to, say, the equivalent 1 TeV level. Beam 2 Circuits only Circuits commissioned to 450 GeV+ only

21 LHC sector test - MAC June Other systems Injection elements: septa, kickers Collimators Machine Protection Beam Instrumentation: BPMs, BLMs, BTV, BCT, BST Magnet Model: Transfer functions, harmonics Controls Software/tools Access system Radiation Protection Radiation Monitoring Optics, aperture model Sector Test is another progressive milestone to be used for testing key functionality Work in progress but most of this is in good shape. Effort in these areas is essentially orthogonal to HWC.

23 Radiation Protection All major installation will have finished and access to the zones affected after the test will be limited. Dose maps for collimators in IR7 to be carefully evaluated. Given analysis, and measurements during and after the test, it is envisaged that: Certain areas might be declared controlled areas for the first few days after the test; Thereafter these areas would join the rest of the sectors involved as supervised areas LHCb remains an undesignated area Traceability restrictions come into force Need for additional RP instrumentation to be evaluated. Work in progress. NB amount of beam is minimal. LHC sector test - MAC June 07 23

33 LHC sector test - MAC June Quench limits and BLM response Quenches with beam motivation: - safe and efficient operation - avoid quenches and damage Controlled, well defined tests to establish: Absolute quench limits BLM threshold values Model and understanding of correlation of loss pattern, quench level, BLM signals Test important for efficient commissioning of BLM system with circulating beam

34 Other possibilities 10. Energy offset versus time on flat bottom 11. Transfer line collimation studies 12. Injection projection studies 13.

LHC sector test - MAC June 07 37

38 LHC sector test - MAC June Impact 1/2 Given the state of installation, the sector test should have minimal impact on transport, interconnection work etc. Deliberately chosen solution in IR7 which avoids additional interventions Restricted access to sectors 8-1, 7-8, 6-7 during beam tests ~ 14 days 7-8 and injection region part of 8-1 become supervised areas after test (film badge etc.) Work/Commissioning can clearly continue in other sectors during the test

39 LHC sector test - MAC June Impact 2/2 Sector test makes clear demands on: what is needed to be cold on what is needed to be hardware commissioned and to what level Cryogenics, QPS, HWC support required during test Could take time out of HWC program HWC would have to stop in 7-8 during test Test preparation, other than cold mass, largely orthogonal to HWC

40 LHC sector test - MAC June Details Sector test with beam Overview, motivation and scheduling Proposed tests with beam Magnet quenches with beam Beam Instrumentation Magnet requirements Controls requirements Sector test preparation Planning Global Hardware Status Layout in LSS7 Hardware Commissioning State of LHCb for the test Radiation Issues Access system Chamonix 2006 Mike Lamont Brennan Goddard Alex Koschik Lars Jensen Luca Bottura Robin Lauckner Chair: Pierre Strubin Esther Barbero Soto Miguel Jimenez Jan Uythoven Roberto Saban Massimiliano Ferro-Luzzi Helmut Vincke Pierre Ninin Team in place which is examining implications, requirements and details of planned beam tests

41 Conclusions A sector test is surely a very useful exercise Undoubtedly speed full commissioning It could prove to be a vital exercise If any major problems are uncovered Requirements have clearly stated and are being addressed Planned beam tests have been detailed The potential impact would be minimal. Machine as is or as will be. Work carries on elsewhere. However, for the test to take place this year (if the schedule allows) Hardware Commissioning would have to be tailored to provide necessary circuits to the necessary level.
