It is expected that the luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be bounded in the future by the beam loss limits of the superconducting magnets. To protect the superconducting magnets of the high luminosity insertions an optimal detection of the energy deposition by the shower of beam particles is necessary. Therefore beam Loss Monitors (BLM) need to be placed close to the particle impact location in the cold mass of the magnets where they should operate in superfluid helium at 1.9 Kelvin. To choose optimal detectors n-type silicon wafers have been examined at superfluid helium temperature whilst under irradiation from a high intensity proton beam. The radiation hardness and leakage current of these detectors were found to be significantly improved at 1.9 Kelvin when compared to their operation at room temperature.

  After three fruitful years of operation, the LHC will enter a long shutdown. Major works will be implemented to allow running safely at 7TeV/beam. The LHC superconducting circuits will be consolidated; mitigation measures will be carried out to reduce the single event effects occurrence in the frame of the Radiation To Electronics mitigation project (R2E); all the equipment will be fully maintained. In parallel, numerous consolidation and upgrade activities will be performed all around the 27km ring. The schedule has been optimized in order to reduce the length of the shutdown (LS1) to 22 months (including hardware commissioning). The organization of the works is therefore essential to ensure a safe and reliable plan. This paper introduces the various activities to be performed and presents the schedule and the preparation process, including the operational safety aspects.

To mitigate electron clouds & unacceptable ohmic heating problems in RHIC, we developed a robotic plasma deposition technique & device to in-situ coat the RHIC 316LN SS cold bore tubes based on mobile mole mounted magnetrons for OFHC deposition. Scrubbed Cu has low SEY and suppress electron cloud formation. Room temperature RF resistivity measurement of Cu coated SS RHIC tube samples indicate that 10 μm of Cu coating has conductivity close to copper tubing. A 50 cm long copper cathode magnetron, mounted on a carriage with spring loaded wheels, was successfully operated, traversed magnet interconnect bellows and adjusted for variations in vacuum tube diameter, while keeping the magnetron centered. To maximize cathode lifetime, Cu cathode thickness was maximized its gap to vacuum tube minimized; movable magnet package is used. Novel cabling and vacuum-atmosphere interface system is being developed. Deposition experiments show no indentation in or damage to coating after wheels roll over coated areas; i.e. train like assembly option is a viable for in-situ RHIC coating. Details of experimental setup & coating of full-scale magnet tube sandwiched between bellows will be presented.
 
 
FRXBA01 Accelerator Technology - From Big Projects to Broad Application cavity, heavy-ion, superconducting-RF, ion 3986

  Big projects with far-reaching technical goals seem to define technical parameters and test infrastructure performance. As such these are the 'drivers' of the technology and have a vital role and have application far beyond that originally foreseen. This talk will examine these links and propose strategies to best leverage them.
