5. Mid Term Review Meeting, 26 September 2012D. Lanaia5 Activity @ CERN Objectives The ESR training will be focused on the development of machine tune-up procedures that will later be implemented in the control software for the linac operation and active participation in the startup of the machine. Description of work 1.Draft the specification of the controls and of the beam monitoring tools specific to the HIE-REX Linac 2.Definition of tuning procedures and management of machine protection and alarm system 3.Draft console applications to be used by the operators for the Linac tuning and monitoring 4.Follow progress of the different aspects of the Linac design, construction and installation 5.Assist in the commissioning of the new machine Deliverables D19.Report on commissioning schedule, general tuning procedure, specifications for controls and beam diagnostics D20.Commissioning report. Final conference report and/or journal publication WP 5 All my work @ CERN is related to the WP which I belong: SC - LINAC COMMISSIONING
