  1. what to do if … ? • possible problems • possible responses Frank Zimmermann, LHCCWG 13.12.2006 Based on discussions with Roger Bailey

  2. possible problems • not getting beam around • aperture too small • static or transientb beating larger than tolerance → collimator set up, aperture • not meeting other optics tolerances • larger emittances than expected • large bunch-to-bunch variation (N, e) • poor beam lifetime (vacuum, dyn.ap., instabilities,…??) • unexplained fast beam loss • unacceptable detector backgrounds • not getting beams into collision • frequent quenches, or frequent BIS dumps • no protons from injectors

  3. possible reactions • find root cause and fix • speeded up by advance plan & procedures • relax requirements and, e.g., limit intensity and/or find other solution around, e.g. larger b* • back-up operating modes to be prepared beforehand • … ? in which detail should we look at problem scenarios? real problems often turn out to be completely different from anticipated ones …

  4. America’s Marine Corps never makes detailed studies in advance. Leaving important things to the last minute reduces the risk of wasting time on things that may ultimately prove not important at all. The Economist, Jan 4th, 2007
