1. ADT re-commissioning after LS1 A. Butterworth, W. Höfle, F. Killing, G. Kotzian, T. Levens, D. Valuch with many thanks to BE/OP LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS11

2. Motivation Requirements for commissioning time with beam and for the ramp- up in intensity (including scrubbing) (assume the requirements for the preparation without beam will be dealt by the cold check-out team) A list of the modifications/improvements occurred during LS1 if not presented yet and a break-down of the activities and preparation required for: operation with pilot bunches, operation with a single nominal bunch, operation with trains (low number), operation with trains (large number). The goal of each step should be identified and the minimum beam characteristics and time requirements should be indicated. ADT re-commissioning after LS1 LBOC, 15.7.2014 2

3. ADT after LS1 (low level RF system) ADT undergoes a major upgrade during the LS1 2x number of pickups New Beam Position hardware/firmware/FESA/software New Digital Signal Processing hardware/firmware/FESA/software Many new properties/functionalities New FGCs (2x number of functions) New cabling (different delays and transfer functions) Number of significant changes is large  we consider it to be a new system Procedures well established, all experience from Run I. …and number of experts increased by 3.5dB for Run II! LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS13

4. ADT after LS1 (power system) Power amplifiers Maintenance (cleaning, divider calibration, re-commissioning in B.867) New relay plates New air cooling system New air cooling pipes New 200W loads Removal of pre-heating resistances New water flow meters in RB44 – RB46 New clamp between amplifiers and kickers New clamp between kickers striplines and feedthroughs Additional vacuum gauge in RB44 (3 gauges per beams and on each sides, 12 in all) Anode Power converters Cleaning Exchange all fans Adding new H.V. switches (command off/online remotely) LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS14

5. Cold check-out activities (phase 1) Check all pickup cables are correctly connected in the tunnel Pickup swap with BI HOM port VNA measurements for all kickers Once water and HV is available at P4 check all power amplifiers and measure the transfer function (via HOM ports) Once all systems are powered at P4, need to conduct a series of EMC measurements – new UPS seems to produce more noise than the previous one: Conducted UPS noise was a major problem in 2010 Ongoing activity (involving EN/EL, BE/RF, BE/BI, TE/EPC) LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS15

6. Cold check-out activities (phase 2) Check all FGCs, define new functions in the control system (TE/EPC, BE/RF, BE/OP) Installation ~ September-October Gains, phase shifts… Define new timings (BE/RF, BE/OP) Multiple independent DACs for different functions (main feedback loop, witness bunches, AGC/IGC…) Dry runs, once SR4 is back in operation (electricity, air conditioning). Expected September-October (BE/RF, BE/OP) LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS16

7. ADT re-commissioning with beam (phase 3) Basic LLRF setting up (phase 3.A): Could be done in a shadow of other activities.

21. Open questions Automatic intensity settings and protection (BE/OP+BE/RF) Current scheme with the SIS checking the circulating intensity in the SPS is already quite good Using this information and having a state machine programming the front-end gain settings is a logical extension Some ideas on the algorithm already there Where should it run, who is responsible tbd. Observation system (BE/RF/CS) Will The Observation Box be ready? Do we still need to use the expert buffers? All CCC applications need to be updated to the new source of data LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS121

24. Summary LBOC, 15.7.2014 ADT re-commissioning after LS124 ADT is a very complex system, the re-commissioning will be quite demanding involving many people Provided enough coffee is available… …and enough food is served… …we should make it!
