Phase Advance Interlocking Throughout the Whole LHC Cycle

Each beam of CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) stores 360 MJ at design energy and design intensity. In the unlikely event of an asynchronous beam dump, not all particles would be extracted immediately. They would still take one turn around the ring, oscillating with potentially high amplitudes. In case the beam would hit one of the experimental detectors or the collimators close to the interaction points, severe damage could occur. In order to minimize the risk during such a scenario, a new interlock system was put in place in 2016. This system guarantees a phase advance of zero degrees (within tolerances) between the extraction kicker and the interaction point. This contribution describes the motivation for this new system as well as the technical implementation and the strategies used to derive appropriate tolerances to allow sufficient protection without risking false beam dump triggers.
