Architecture of the SPS beam and extraction interlock systems

For the machine start-up in 2007, the SPS must deliver beams for fixed target experiments, to the LHC and for the neutrino beam to Gran Sasso with the highest possible efficiency. Fast changes of the SPS cycle will be required, which has many implications for the SPS control system. In particular th...

Sumario:For the machine start-up in 2007, the SPS must deliver beams for fixed target experiments, to the LHC and for the neutrino beam to Gran Sasso with the highest possible efficiency. Fast changes of the SPS cycle will be required, which has many implications for the SPS control system. In particular the existing software and hardware interlock systems that protect the SPS machine against beam induced damage due to failures must be upgraded. This report presents the requirements and architecture of the new hardware interlock systems.
