MOXAGM01	Status of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)	1
	F. Bordry CERN, Geneva
	The status of the LHC commissioning is presented. Preparation for smooth beam commissioning is going on since several years: very thorough commissioning of the highly complex hardware systems started already in 2005 preparation of the LHC beam commissioning, resulting in detailed procedures for various commissioning phases with increasing beam intensity and performance preparation of the injector complex, with beam up to the end of the transfer lines between SPS and LHC.

	The Large Hadron Collider operation relies on 1232 superconducting dipoles with a field of 8.33T and 400 superconducting quadrupoles with a strength of 220 T/m powered at 12kA, operating in superfluid He at 1.9K. For dipoles and quadrupoles as well as for many other magnets more than 1700 power converters are necessary to feed the superconducting circuits. Between October 2005 and September 2007 the so-called short circuit tests were carried-out in the 15 underground areas where the power converters of the superconducting circuits are located. The tests were aimed at the qualification of the normal conducting components of the circuits: the power converters, the normal conducting DC cables between the power converters and the LHC cryostat, the interlocks and energy extraction systems. In addition, the correct functioning of the infrastructure systems (AC distribution, water and air cooling, control system) were validated. The final validation test for each underground area was the powering of all converters at ultimate current during 24h. This approach highlighted a few problems that were solved long before the beginning of magnet commissioning and beam operation.

	The LHeC collides a lepton beam with one of the intense, LHC, hadron beams. It achieves both e± interactions with quarks at the terascale, at eq masses in excess of 1 TeV, with a luminosity of about 1033 cm-2 s-1, and it also enables a sub-femtoscopic probe of hadronic matter at unprecedented chromodynamic energy density, at Bjorken-x values down to 10-6 in the deep inelastic scattering domain. The LHeC combines the LHC infrastructure with recent advances in radio-frequency, in linear acceleration and in other associated technologies, to enable two proposals for TeV ep collisions: a "ring-ring" option in which 7 TeV protons (and ions) collide with about 70 GeV electrons/positrons in a storage ring in the LHC tunnel and a "linac-ring" option based on an independent superconducting linear accelerator enabling single-pass collisions of electrons and positrons of up to about 140 GeV with an LHC hadron beam. Both options will be presented and compared. Steps are outlined for completing a Conceptual Design Review of the accelerator complex, beam delivery, luminosity, physics and implications for experiment, following declared support by ECFA and by CERN for a CDR.

	The LHC is a complex machine requiring more than 7400 superconducting corrector magnets distributed along a circumference of 26.7 km. These magnets are powered in 1380 different electrical circuits with currents ranging from 60 A up to 600 A. Among the corrector circuits the 600 A corrector magnets form the most diverse and differentiated magnet circuits. About 60000 high current connections had to be made. A minor fault in a circuit or one of the superconducting connections would have severe consequences for the accelerator operation. All magnets are wound from various types of Nb-Ti superconducting strands, and many contain resistors to by-pass the current in case of the transition to the normal conducting state in case of a quench, and hence reduce the hot spot temperature. In this paper the performance of these magnet circuits is presented, focussing on the quench current and quench behaviour of the magnets. Quench detection and the performance of the electrical interconnects will be dealt with. The results as measured on the entire circuits will be compared to the test results obtained during the reception tests of the individual magnets.

	During hardware commissioning of the Large Hadron Collider, 8 main dipole circuits and 16 main quadrupole circuits are tested at 1.9 K and up to their nominal current. Each dipole circuit contains 154 magnets of 15 m length, and has a total stored energy of up to 1.1 GJ. Each quadrupole circuit contains 47 or 51 magnets of 5.4 m length, and has a total stored energy of up to 20 MJ. All magnets are wound from Nb-Ti superconducting Rutherford cables, and contain heaters to quickly force the transition to the normal conducting state in case of a quench, and hence reduce the hot spot temperature. In this paper the performance of these circuits is presented, focusing on the quench current and quench behaviour of the magnets. Quench detection, heater performance, operation of the cold bypass diodes, cryogenic recovery time, electrical joints, and possible magnet-to-magnet quench propagation will be dealt with. The results as measured on the entire circuits will be compared to the test results obtained during the reception tests of the individual magnets.
WEPP052	A Storage Ring Based Option for the LHeC	2638

	The LHeC aims at the generation of Hadron-Lepton collisions with center of mass energies in the TeV scale and luminosities of the order of 1033 cm-2 sec-1 by taking advantage of the existing LHC 7 TeV proton ring and adding a high energy electron accelerator. This paper presents technical considerations and potential parameter choices for such a machine and outlines some of the challenges arising when an electron storage ring based option, constructed within the existing infrastructure of the LHC, is chosen.

	We describe various parameter scenarios for a ring-linac ep collider based on LHC and an independent s.c. electron linac. Luminosities of order 1032/cm2/s can be achieved with a standard ILC-like linac, operated either in pulsed or cw mode, with acceptable beam power. Reaching much higher luminosities, up to 1034/cm2/s and beyond, would require the use of two linacs and the implementation of energy recovery. Advantages and challenges of a ring-linac ep collider vis-a-vis an alternative ring-ring collider are discussed.
