  In the SuperKEKB and future International Linear Collider project, it is required to measure and control an offset of very small beams with a precision of several nanometers at the interaction point. This paper is a feasibility study on measuring and controlling nano-order relative position by using a laser interferometer and a piezoelectric stage. The first part shows that the precision of measurement position about a direction of laser radiation is less than or equal to 1 nanometer in frequency region less than 100Hz. The second part is discussed a measurement of relative displacement between two points which are 10 meter away on substructures located at the interaction point in the SuperKEKB. To compare with difference of accelerometers for reference, a relative displacement measurement with a precision of several nanometers by a laser interferometer became clear. The final part is discussed a relative positioning control by using a Piezo-Stage between two points on active vibration isolation tables. We achieved to control a relative displacement below 2 nanometers in frequency region less than 10Hz.

  The Large Hadron Collider powering systems have been tested and commissioned before to start the second run of physics production. This commissioning used for the first time analysis modules defined directly by system experts in an english-like domain specific language. In these modules, the experts defined assertions that the data generated by the powering tests must verify in order for the test to pass. These modules concerned 4 tests executed for more than 1000 systems. They allowed experts to identify issues that were hidden behind the repetitive manual analysis performed during the previous campaigns. This paper describes this first operational experience of the analysis modules, as well as the replay of all the previous campaign with them. It will also present a critical point of view on these modules to identify their drawbacks and the next step to improve this system.

  The First Long Shutdown (LS1) of the LHC and its Injector chain, which started in February 2013, was completed by the first quarter 2015. A huge number of activities have been performed; this paper reviews the process of the coordination of LS1 from the preparatory phase to the testing phase. The preparatory phase is a very important process: an accurate view of what is to be done, and what can be done is essential. But reality is always different, the differences between what was planned and what was done will be described. The paper will recall the coordination, reporting and decisional processes, highlighting points of success and points to be improved in terms of general coordination, in-situ coordination, safety coordination, logistics and resource management.

  The heavy ion synchrotron SIS100 utilises fast ramped superconducting magnets. Describing and measuring these magnets requires advanced multipoles next to well adapted measurement techniques. We cover briefly the required theory adapted to the measurements, show which designs were available and which decisions had to be taken for measuring curved superconducting magnets. The series of SIS100 dipole magnets is going to be produced. These magnets will be measured at GSI. We present the foreseen field measurement procedure, outline the currently ongoing tests and give our calibration strategy.

  The damage mechanism of superconducting magnets due to the direct impact of high intensity particle beams is not well understood. Obvious candidates for upper bounds on the damage limit are overheating of insulation, and melting of the conductor. Lower bounds are obtained by the limits of elasticity in the conductor, taking into account dynamic effects (elastic stress waves). The plastic regime in between these two bounds will lead to differential thermal stress between the superconductor and stabilizer, which may lead to a permanent degradation of the magnet. An improved understanding of these mechanisms is required especially in view of the planned increase in brightness of the beams injected into the LHC and of the future High Luminosity-LHC [2] and Future Circular Collider (FCC). In this paper the plans for room temperature damage tests on critical parts of superconducting magnets and the strategy to test their damage levels at 4.3 K in the HiRadMat facility at CERN , using a 440 GeV proton beam generated by the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), is presented. Moreover the status of numerical simulations using FLUKA and multi-physics FEM code (ANSYS) to assess the different effect and the irradiation of the proposed experimental setup in preparation of the test is shown.

This year marks the 15th run for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Operation of a reliable superconducting magnet power supply system is a key factor of accelerator’s performance. Over the past 15 of years, the RHIC power supply system has been made many improvements to increase the machine availability and reduce failures. During these past 15 years of operating RHIC a lot of problems have been solved or addressed. In this paper some of the essential upgrades/improvements are discussed.
