J.Borburgh, E.Carlier, L.Ducimetière, B.Goddard, V.Mertens, et al.Outline:Brief reminder of LHC activitiesPlans for “backbone” machines (PSB, PS, SPS)Plans for other facilities (AD, ISOLDE, CTF3)Conclusions

SPS

LHC

PS• Presenting only work▫ requiring access to the machines▫ with priority 1 (= absolutely mandatory), priority 2 (= highly recommended)

• Not discussing work ongoing in parallel for▫ projects▫ refurbishment of spares following exchange

… competing for same manpower

Brief reminder of LHC activities• Completion of staged MKB installation (1 tank = 2 magnets per

side) + electronics and controls

• Overhaul of remaining 20 MKD/ 20 MKB generators and magnet entry boxes

• Replacement of a (small) number of MKI as function of progress with mitigation studies and tests on heating, UFOs, …

• 2 x TCDQ upgrade to beyond nominal performance

• Lots of electronics and controls improvements (HW/SW)

• LBDS tests and reliability run to be firmly planned in

LHC: TCDQ• Remove existing 2 tanks (per beam) and girder• Create space and install new 3 tank solution with

girder• Consolidation of electronics and controls (split of

reference/interlock logic)

Conclusions• Important share of LS1 work to make LHC equipment fit for 7

TeV and higher intensities.• Also many high priority activities in the injectors.• 2012 preparation work will be decisive.• Most activities in injectors compatible with present access

planning (Except some kicker magnet conditioning in SPS and septa work in region 15-16 of the PS).

• Good coordination with and support by HE, EL, VSC, ABP, CO, RP, … essential.

• Detailed preparation plannings coming forward.• List of requirements (test times) and constraints (access) being

worked out and communicated.
