  During the LHC commissioning, a discrepancy in the non-linear corrector strengths between the model and the beam-based values has been observed*. This has motivated the reconstruction of the 3D finite element model for the LHC final focusing MQXA type magnet. The longitudinal higher orders magnetic field pseudo-harmonics are computed taking into account ovalization of the magnet, interconnections design, and beam screens. The effect of this 3D field on the computation of the nonlinear correctors is evaluated and compared with beam-based corrector values.

  The optical synchronization system for the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser provides sub-10 femtosecond timing precision * for the accelerator subsystems and experiments. This is achieved by phase locking a mode-locked laser oscillator to the main RF reference and distributing the optical pulse train carrying the time information via actively propagation-time stabilized optical fibers to multiple end-stations. Making up roughly one percent of the entire European XFEL, it is the first subsystem to receive a large-scale data acquisition system [2] for storing not just hand-selected information, but in fact all diagnostic, monitoring, and configuration data relevant to the optical synchronization available from the distributed control system infrastructure. A minimum of 100 TB per year may be stored in a persistent archive for long-term health monitoring and data mining whereas excess data is stored in a short-term ring buffer for high-resolution fault analysis and feature extraction algorithm development. This paper describes scale, challenges and first experiences from the optical synchronization data acquisition system.

  Studies and preparation of activities are key to the success of short technical stops and longer shutdowns in CERN’s accelerator complex. The ’Panorama’ tool offers a virtual tour of our facilities, and thanks to integration with other CERN tools, further complementary information can be easily retrieved, including layout information, equipment detail, and a history of changes. The tool was used to support the preparation and the execution of works during the Long Shutdown 2. It helped to optimize machine (accelerator/decelerator) interventions and hence reduce potential radiation exposure, as well as to ease integration studies. Thanks to its user-friendliness, the tool is now also used for educational and outreach activities. The current instantiation of the ’Panorama’ tool and related processes is presented, alongside the benefits that the tool can bring to the accelerator complex community. A particular focus is on the Long Shutdown 2. Future planned developments and improvements are also described.

Managing EPICS Process Variables’~(PVs) metadata, such as the host and the contact, is one of the important tasks for the operation of large-scale accelerator facilities with minimal downtime. Record Sychronizer~(RecSync) provides a way to manage such crucial information in an EPICS Input-Output Controller~(IOC). RecCeiver-ETCD is the server component of the RecSync-ETCD, or an extension of RecCeiver for ETCD. In the previous work, the client component of RecSync, or RecCaster, has been extended to RecCaster-ETCD to store the metadata into an ETCD key-value store. An important remaining step to the production use is to introduce a connection between ETCD and ChannelFinder, which is achieved by RecCeiver in the RecSync system. RecCeiver-ETCD plays the role of the original RecCeiver in the RecSync-ETCD system. RecCeiver-ETCD is designed to perform the specific operation, bridging the communication between ETCD and ChannelFinder. In addition, its simple implementation does not hold it down to ChannelFinder and makes it easy to extend RecCeiver-ETCD out to the other applications.

THPAB250 Fire Detection System Reliability Analysis: An Operational Data-Based Framework framework, operation, detector, controls 4296

  This paper describes a framework developed at CERN, conducting reliability analysis of Safety-Critical Systems (Fire detection and Alarms) based on operational data. It applies Fault-Tree Analysis on maintenance-related data, categorized based on the component on failure. This framework, a tool implemented in Python, accounts for Fire Detection components installed in tunnels and surface buildings (control panels, detectors, etc) and safety functions triggered upon detection (evacuation, alarms to the CERN Fire Brigade, compartmentalization, electrical isolation, etc). The usefulness of the results of this type of analysis is twofold. Firstly, the results are a supporting tool for estimating the yearly availability of Fire Detection Systems in critical facilities, crucial in Capital and Operational Expenditure identification. Additionally, this approach refines the frequency analysis as part of quantitative fire risk assessments performed in the context of the FIRIA (Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment) Project, launched by CERN in 2018 and aiming at assessing the risk of fire events in experimental facilities with potential radiologic consequences to the public.
