Injection protection needs to be revisited for…

New LHC optics version

Emittance changes

Injection re-steering– Aperture verifications in the injection region– Transfer line collimator centering needs to be verified– Injection protection needs to be set up again

P d ibili f liPoor reproducibility after re-cycling– Re-set up injection protection system

R t hi f t f liRematching of transfer lines– Transfer line collimators need to be set up again

Crossing- separation angle changes polarity changes of experimental magnets


Crossing , separation angle changes, polarity changes of experimental magnets– Injection re-steering

Conclusions

A commissioning plan has been developed to prepare the LHC injections for up to 156 x 156 with 9 x 1010 particles per bunch156 x 156 with 9 x 10 particles per bunch

Injection quality and injection protection has been taken into consideration

Details of target parameters still need definition

A “procedure/formalism/check list…” must be put in place to guarantee that the systems are not operated outside the parameters they have been commissioned forfor.
