  17. Reliability run results (12/07  2/08) Current [A] Dumps Distribution of beam dump energies (9’376 dumps as of 29/02/08) Time [ms] Energy [GeV] Stability/reproducibility of MKD.B1 kick strength at 7 TeV Stability/reproducibility of MKD.B1 kick strength at 450 GeV Kick strength variation [%] Kick strength variation [%] ±1% variation ±0.4% variation Specification ±0.4% Date Date 2008 Extended LTC

  18. Reliability run results (12/07  2/08) Rise time of all 15 MKD at 7 TeV Rise time of all 15 MKD at 450 GeV Rise time [ms] Rise time [ms] Specification 2.7 ms Date Date Stability/reproducibility of MKD.B1 average rise time at 7 TeV Stability/reproducibility of MKD.B1 average rise time at 450 GeV Rise time [ms] Rise time [ms] 22 ns Date Date 2008 Extended LTC

  19. Reliability run results (12/07  2/08) • Stability and reproducibility • Generator kick strength less stable than expected at 450 GeV (measured ±0.4% at 7 TeV, ±1% at 450 GeV). Possible thermal effect being investigated • Rise time looks OK – rise time averaged over all 15 MKDs is < 2.72 ms, and for any individual MKD in the range 2.6 - 2.8 ms (c.f. specified 2.7 ms). We have a small 50 ns margin which we will need to eat into… • Short-term hysteresis effects on kick waveform measurement transformer? Now deploying 2nd pick-up type and investigating • Burn-in and fault statistics (on 30 generators  60 switches) • Switches most important elements being tested • Calculations predicted 6 broken for 4 months operation of both systems • Presently operated B1 for about 3 months with ~50 % duty cycle • Total of ~10’000 beam dumps to date (300’000 switch operations) • 2 switches broken (pulsing) in July 07  trigger transformer contacts (systematic problem – now should not re-occur) • 1 switch broken (under voltage at 7 TeV) on 27/02/08. First real switch failure (note that detection worked  failed safe  synch dump) 2008 Extended LTC

  20. Beam dump system: dry runs • Dry runs : running LBDS as a system from CCC • Commissioning system links and interdependencies, SW tools, … • Ideally would be “Fully-connected” to all external systems, but not possible until final machine checkout phase • First dry-run test (2 days) carried out in w7 • Checked beam 1 system in “very-semi-connected” mode • Testing and deploying tools needed for operation, and for reliability run from CCC • Further 2-day tests planned with increasing scope and complexity: • W11: B1 system connected to BIS, RF, LASS and driven via sequencer • W15: B1 and B2 systems together, with protection devices • W19: links to injection systems, inject and dump modes, … • Organisation: responsibility and coordination • Much preparation and mobilisation for HW, controls, SW • OP responsible for dry runs: schedule, test, tools, coordinate • BT providing strong support… 2008 Extended LTC

  21. Beam dump system: machine checkout • Machine checkout : run LBDS as embedded system from CCC • Will be “Fully-connected” to all external systems – in particular magnet DCCTs, RF and BIS • Will need a series of energy ramps (5-10) • Check kicker energy tracking with RB circuits • Synchronisation with RF revolution frequency • Assume can be done parasitically – i.e. some ramps are made before beam… • Will need time with the BIS loops closed (1-2 days) • Check signal transmission and detection, arming sequences • Assume this can be done as part of final beam interlock system commissioning • Organisation: responsibility and coordination • OP responsible for machine checkout: support from equipment groups and LBDS project • BT group will provide system commissioning team (scheduled or on call as required), plus equipment piquets for kicker HW and controls 2008 Extended LTC

  23. Part the 3rdcommon comments 2008 Extended LTC

  24. Documentation MKD 7 TeV 30.12 kV 30.3 kV • Required documentation should be easily available for injection and dump systems, as relevant: • Installation drawings and layouts ~complete • Equipment drawings and parameters ~complete • Optics files and aperture models partial • Alignment information ~complete • Expected bunch positions on BPMs and BTVs ~complete • MKD/B lookup tables to formalise • XPOC references and tolerances needed • Kicker calibration, test and reliability run data partial • Equipment config. (generators, switches, magnets, …) to formalise • Arming and state descriptions partial • Interlock references (protection devices, interlock BI,…) partial • Non-conformity documents partial • No single repository (layout DBs, CDD, EDMS, LSA, Geode, …) 2008 Extended LTC

  25. Snapshot of commissioning status Injection Beam dump 2008 Extended LTC

  26. Coordination aspects • Clear separation of commissioning phases would be nice (as on paper) • Too idealistic • In reality the boundaries are very blurred: overlap of last installations, bug fixes, IST, HWC, dry runs, … • Additional constraints from equipment tests, cool-down, … • Coordination is a long-standing, efficient collaboration between all concerned (groups, HWC, LTI/LBDS projects, ABP, OP, …) • Organisation of commissioning teams and support • BT, OP and other groups’ experts already heavily involved and will form backbone of system commissioning teams: will be available on scheduled and unscheduled basis until beam commissioning is finished • BT piquet service will be in place for all LHC kickers (magnets, generators and controls) for machine checkout and beyond 2008 Extended LTC

  27. Conclusion • Injection systems and beam dump system are progressing well through the commissioning phases • Seriously blurred boundaries but under control • All components tested to full strength with no major problems • Connections to other systems are being brought on-line • Operation from the CCC has started • Strong system commissioning teams are being forged • A lot left to do, but (barring disaster) systems will be ready for first beam 2008 Extended LTC
