| Abstract | The quench detection system (QDS) of the LHC superconducting circuits is an essential part of the LHC machine protection and ensures the integrity of key elements of the accelerator. The large amount of hardwired and software interlock channels of the QDS requires a very high system dependability in order to reduce the risk of affecting the successful operation of the LHC. This contribution will present methods and tools for systematic fault tracking and analysis, and will discuss recent results obtained during the LHC production run in 2016. Measures for maintaining and further improving of the system performance will be explained. An overview of the further evolution of the LHC QDS also in view of the upcoming High Luminosity Upgrade of the LHC will be given. |
