The Safe Machine Parameter system (SMP) is a critical part of the machine protection system in CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). It broadcasts safety-critical parameters like beam energy, beam intensity, the beta functions and flags indicating safety levels of the beam to other machine protection elements. [...]

During the Long Shutdown 2 (LS2, 2019-2020), the CERN accelerator complex has undergone major upgrades, mainly in preparation for the High-Luminosity (HL) LHC era, the ultimate capacity for its physics production. Therefore, several novel equipment and systems were designed and deployed throughout the accelerator complex. [...]

Data Augmentation for Breakdown Prediction in CLIC RF Cavities
/ Bovbjerg, Holger (CERN ; Aalborg U.) ; Apollonio, Andrea (CERN) ; Cartier-Michaud, Thomas (CERN) ; Millar, William (CERN) ; Obermair, Christoph (CERN ; Graz, Tech. U.) ; Shen, Ming (CERN ; Aalborg U.) ; Tan, Zheng-Hua (CERN ; Aalborg U.) ; Wollmann, Daniel (CERN)
One of the primary limitations on the achievable accelerating gradient in normal-conducting accelerator cavities is the occurrence of vacuum arcs, also known as RF breakdowns. A recent study on experimental data from the CLIC XBOX2 test stand at CERN proposes the use of supervised machine learning methods for predicting RF breakdowns. [...]

Data-Driven Risk Matrices for CERN’s Accelerators
/ Cartier-Michaud, Thomas (CERN) ; Apollonio, Andrea (CERN) ; Blarasin, Gennaro (CERN) ; Todd, Benjamin (CERN) ; Uythoven, Jan (CERN)
A risk matrix is a common tool used in risk assessment, defining risk levels with respect to the severity and probability of the occurrence of an undesired event. Risk levels can then be used for different purposes, e.g. [...]
