MOXBCH01	Industrial Technology for Unprecendented Energy and Luminosity: the Large Hadron Collider	6
	P. Lebrun CERN, Geneva
	With over 2.7 billion Swiss francs procurement contracts under execution in industry and the installation of major technical systems proceeding in its first 3.3 km sector, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) construction is now in full swing at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The LHC is not only the most challenging particle accelerator under construction, it is also the largest global project ever for a scientific instrument based on advanced technology. Starting from accelerator performance requirements, we recall how these can be met by an appropriate combination of technologies, such as high-field superconducting magnets, superfluid helium cryogenics, beam and insulation vacuum or power electronics, with particular emphasis on the developments required to meet demanding specifications, and the industrialization issues which had to be solved for achieving series production of precision components under tight quality assurance and within limited resources. This provides the opportunity for reviewing the production status of the different systems and the progress of the project.

THPLT135	Experience with the 1.7 GHz Schottky Pick-ups in the Tevatron	2774

	During a 2003 shutdown, new high-frequency Schottky pick-ups were installed in the Tevatron. These devices operate at 1.7 GHz (harmonic ~36000 of the revolution frequency) and can in principle be used to measure tunes, chromaticities, momentum spread and transverse emittances of individual bunches. Only the transverse signal is used, as the longitudinal is dominated by coherent signal. The default mode of operation during a store is to sequentially acquire and analyze frequency data from different sets of bunches in the machine. This function is performed by an open access client written in Java/C++, running in the background. The resulting fit parameters are datalogged and can also be plotted in "real time" during the store. With an alternative setup, data from select bunches can be acquired continuously during the entire ramp (and squeeze), for analysis off-line. This paper describes the evolution, current status and performance of the acquisition and analysis software, and presents measurements with comparison to predictions and other measurement techniques. One example of such a measurement is the variation of beam-beam tune shift as a function of intensity and bunch position within a train.
