Collimator Setup in 2011 Modifications to original application from S. Redaelli done by G. Valentino, with input from R. Assmann, R. Bruce, S. Redaelli, and D. Wollmann. Main goals:  Guarantee high quality of setup (independent of user)  Reduce risk for human errors during the setup (unnecessary beam dumps)  Optimize total setup time  Reduce stress on users Gianluca Valentino 7

Semi-Automatic Feature Introduction of a semi-automatic feature: Automatic step-wise movement of collimator jaws (can choose from 5 – 100 µm steps) The software automatically moves in the collimator until the resulting BLM signal exceeds a user-defined threshold. Gianluca Valentino 8

Initialization Procedure 1)Move collimators in parallel to the beam by class (TCSG, TCLA, TCT) and plane Gianluca Valentino 9 Limitation: Multiple Collimators stop moving!

Setup Procedure 2)Setup each collimator in sequence (define reference edge using TCP in plane) Gianluca Valentino 10 Fine adjustment after initialization Threshold Automatic stop after crossing BLM threshold Interesting: See 40s decay of loss spike! D. Wollmann

Automatic Logging of Setup Data 3)Automatically log collimator setup data to file All user-generated events (initialization procedure, collimator movements) are saved No need for manual filling in of excel sheets Gianluca Valentino 11

Collimator Setup Time Comparison The time taken to set up collimators is the most important indicator of the efficiency of a set up algorithm. Data from the logbook cross-checked with Timber. Average Time per Collimator = Time used for set up / Number of collimators Total Shift Time = Time used for setup + Time taken to get the LHC back to the operating point in case of a beam dump*. * For 2010, these values were taken from S. Redaelli’s Chamonix 2011 talk on “Optimization of the Nominal Cycle”. Gianluca Valentino 19

Beam Intensity at 3.5 TeV, 2010 vs 2011 Gianluca Valentino : Rapid decrease in beam intensity during setup 2011: Gentle shaving of the beam

Change of β -tron local cleaning inefficiency (3.5 TeV, 1.3s integration) Gianluca Valentino 22 D. Wollmann

Conclusions New semi-automatic collimator setup tool works. Quality of collimator setup compares well with last year. Improvement by factor ~1.5 in setup time at flat top. Improvement by factor ~5 in setup times for after squeeze and collisions. No dumps with new software. Ongoing work to improve the system, particularly setup time per collimator. Gianluca Valentino 23

Future Work: 30 Hz BLM Signal Next year: 30 Hz BLM signal should increase the setup speed further. How can we exploit this as much as possible? This is related to ongoing work by F. Burkart on halo population studies. Gianluca Valentino seconds loss decay

Other Future Work Identify automatically the collimator causing the loss signal during setup. Dynamic variation of step size, possibly helped by also obtaining feedback from other BLM running sums and other BLM locations. “Real-time” BLM signal loss simulator to test future setup algorithms. LHC MD time requested for testing new algorithms. Gianluca Valentino 25
