1. ATS Consolidation Day 22nd May 2019 Beam Instrumentation
Rhodri Jones (BE-BI)

2. Introduction Beam Instrumentation Consolidation Domains
Replacement of outdated electronics
~ 20 years lifetime for most systems
Beyond this maintenance & repair is difficult
Increasing number of failures
Components required no longer available
Rely on limited stock of spares
Replacement of radiation damaged components
Beamline components typically over 20 years old in high radiation areas
Spares for mechanical systems
Project started during LS1 to identify all beamline components & class then in terms of risk to operation
Critical items identified & being consolidated on all machines

14. Open Points Production of Spare Ionisation Chambers
Not originally planned to exchange for SPS, but delay from LS2 to LS3 with recent issues & few spares means this should be reconsidered
Also required for transfer lines & LHC spares
Has been targeted for Russian (IHEP) in-kind delivery through HL-LHC
Awaiting outcome of decision
North Area Consolidation
Huge effort by BE-BI, EN-EA & TE-ABT to define the needs for consolidation throughout the North Area and its primary lines
BI-EA working group set-up to agree on scope & define priorities
Input now provided to North Area consolidation project with BI needs
Priorities still to be clearly defined
Consolidation of the LHC BPM System
Need to ensure finance for R2E fellow to complete the production and test of up to 10,000 laser transmitter/receivers.
