1. Introduction S. Baird 12 th September 2013

2. Accelerator Consolidation Workshop  Why are we here?  Boundary conditions  What is (not) included?  Outcome and follow-up  What is Consolidation?

3. Definitions of Consolidation  Business: Merger of smaller companies to create larger ones  Geology: Process by which soil decreases in volume  Debt: Combination of multiple loans into one big loan  Information: Combining data from multiple sources into a centralized system  Land: Joining fragmented parcels of land into contiguous plots  Beliefs: Strengthening of principles  Medicine: Solidification into a firm dense mass  Steam Locomotive: 2-8-0 in the Whyte classification (USA)  CERN: Replacement or renovation of ageing equipment to improve accelerator reliability  Not UPGRADE, not to improve performance this is LIU HL-LHC etc…

4. Why are we all here?  Everyone can hear what everyone else wants to do  Does your work have potential implications for me?  Make a coherent accelerator consolidation (ACC-CONS) plan to LS2 and beyond Set priorities Justify the resources Interaction with other projects LIU, HL-LHC… ○ What we do and when we need to do it

5. Boundary conditions  Activities which are started and already funded in 2013 will not be discussed unless there are major changes in the overall costs (not re-profiling)  Urgent activities you need to start in 2014 will be considered  What, Why & How much  Activities you will need to start in the period 2015 to 2020 What, Why, When & How much  Covering LINACs, LEIR, PSB, PS, SPS, LHC, AD & North Area AD & North Area have limited financing after LS1 EAST Area is not financed after LS1!

7. What is included in ACC-CONS?  Accelerator equipment In the tunnel and in service buildings Don’t forget the associated controls  Accelerator services Electricity, cabling, water, cooling, ventilation, access systems, tunnel smoke detection…. Don’t forget the associated controls  Infrastructure Tunnels & accelerator surface buildings  LHC Spares Program: In 2010 “P Strubin” report on missing LHC spares was included in ACC-CONS “Completed” by 2015

8.  We should not use ACC-CONS to replace missing operations (or other) budget.  ACC-CONS is not for… Regular replacement of equipment on a continuous basis Maintenance programs Consumables Regularly used spare parts  But what if important activities are not covered by an Operations budget? What is (not) included?

9.  CONTROLS BE/CO & EN/ICE will NOT have Consolidation budgets for your works If your activity needs controls modifications, we will include this in your budget allocation  What about replacement of control system hardware? Equipment gets outdated very quickly Should this be in ACC-CONS? What is (not) included?

10. Main workshop, cranes & transport equipment…??  During LHC construction, very limited resources for renovation works  Urgent renovation works were included in ACC-CONS to cover a number of essential works  However, there is a need for regular and systematic renovation on a continuous basis.  Funding for these type of activities needs to be clarified with Sector Management & RPC

11. Proposal  Organize a dedicated meeting (early in 2014?) with sector management to decide how this kind of activity should be funded in the long- term  Replacement of outdated Controls hardware  Main workshop equipment  Renovation of cranes etc.  …..  This stuff all needs to be done but how?  Individual separate projects, ACC-CONS, Operations budget…???

12. Outcome & Follow-up  Information from today will be put together and used to establish a new plan  Presented at a follow-up seminar in October, after discussion with Groups etc.  Special sector meeting (early in 2014?) on activities, which must be funded and maintained but not necessarily as part of ACC-CONS
