POCPA workshop

14-16 June 2010

Founded in 1954 by 12 countriesToday: 20 member states 1000 MCHF / Year budget2250 staff (physicists, engineers, technicians, …)6500 visiting scientists (half of the world's particle physicists) They come from 500 universities representing 80 nationalities. 9000 people on CERN site everyday!

Introduction to CERN

LHC first ramp to 1.08 TeV29/11/2009

LHC first physics30/03/2010

Where are we with LHC?

The machine is now working very well at 3.5 TeV per beam (nominal 7 TeV) with a di/dt at 2A/s (nominal 10 A/s)

Beam commissioning beam 2.1010 protons per bunch up to 13 bunches (over 2808) intensity up to 1011 protons per bunch (1,7.1011 nominal) squeeze (β*) up to 0.55m, working at 2m

LHC plan LHC will run up to end of 2011 target for the integrated luminosities 1fb-1 end of 2011 2012 will be a large shut down for LHC consolidation (splices,…)

Introduction to TE/EPC

The Group is responsible for all the magnet power supplies, klystron modulators (solid state) and static VAR compensators.

67 staffs + 20 people in industrial support, 22 engineers ~ 5000 power supplies from 1 kW to 144 MW, from 10A to 30kA, from 8V to

110kV Recurrent budget = 4 MCHF
