Design of the CLIC Quadrupole Vacuum Chambers
/ Garion, C (CERN) ; Kos, H (CERN)
The Compact Linear Collider, under study, requires vacuum chambers with a very small aperture, of the order of 8 mm in diameter, and with a length up to around 2 m for the main beam quadrupoles. To keep the very tight geometrical tolerances on the quadrupoles, no bake out is allowed. [...]

After each beam dump in the LHC automatic post-operational checks are made to guarantee that the last beam dump has been executed correctly and that the system can be declared to be ‘as good as new’ before the next injection is allowed. The analysis scope comprises the kicker waveforms, redundancy in kicker generator signal paths and different beam instrumentation measurements. [...]

Helium II calorimetry for the detection of abnormal resistive zones in LHC sectors
/ Tavian, L (CERN)
Following the incident on a LHC sector due to an electrical arc on the main dipole bus-bar circuit, postmortem analysis of previous current plateaus has shown abnormal temperature drift in the helium II baths of some magnets in the concerned area. In order to identify other possible risky areas, a detection system based on calorimety using available precision cryogenic thermometers has been first validated by applying calibrated heating in the magnet cold-mass and then implemented in the different sectors.
