In the LHC beam pipes and cryostats, the pressure measurement covers a wide range, from 1500 mbar down to 10⁻¹¹ mbar and even lower. If vacuum deteriorates, alarm signals are generated and sent to other systems, e.g. [...]

For two years (Spring 2013 - Spring 2015), the LHC went through its first long shutdown (LS1). It was mainly motivated by the consolidation of magnet interconnects, to allow operation with 6.5 TeV proton beams. [...]

The Upgrade of Control Hardware of the CERN NA62 Beam Vacuum
/ Mateo, Fernando (CERN) ; Antoniotti, Fabien (CERN) ; Blanchard, Sebastien (CERN) ; Ferreira, Rodrigo (CERN) ; Gomes, Paulo (CERN) ; Gutierrez, Abel (CERN) ; Jenninger, Berthold (CERN) ; Pereira, Helder (CERN)
NA62 is the follow-up of the NA48 experiment, in the SPS North Area of CERN, and reuses a large fraction of its detectors and beam line equipment. Still, there are many new vacuum devices in the beam line (including pumps, valves & gauges), which required a thorough modification of the control system and a large number of new controllers, many of which were custom-made. [...]

After 3 years of operation, the LHC entered its first Long Shutdown period (LS1), in February 2013 [1]. Major consolidation and maintenance works are being performed across the whole CERN’s Accelerator chain, in order to prepare the LHC to restart at higher energy, in 2015. [...]

Quality Management of CERN Vacuum Controls

The vacuum controls Section (TE-VSC-ICM) is in charge of the monitoring, maintenance and consolidation of the control systems of all accelerators and detectors in CERN; this represents 6 000 instruments distributed along 128 km of vacuum chambers, often of heterogeneous architectures and of diverse technical generations. In order to improve the efficiency of the services provided by ICM, to vacuum experts and to accelerator operators, a Quality Management Plan is being put into place. [...]

Developments on the SCADA of CERN Accelerators Vacuum

During the first 3 years of LHC operation, the priority for the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) of vacuum controls was to attend to user requests, and to improve its ergonomics and efficiency: access & presentation of information simplified and normalized; coherent functionalities & menus across all accelerators; automatic scripts instead of fastidious manual actions; enhanced tools for data analysis and for maintenance interventions. Several decades of cumulative developments, based on heterogeneous technologies and architectures, have been asking for a homogenization effort. [...]
