Collimator Setup in 2011
• Modifications to original application from S. Redaelli done by G. Valentino, with input from R. Assmann, R. Bruce, S. Redaelli, and D. Wollmann.
• Main goals: Guarantee high quality of setup (independent of user) Reduce risk for human errors during the setup (unnecessary
beam dumps) Optimize total setup time Reduce stress on users

Semi-Automatic Feature
Introduction of a semi-automatic feature:• Automatic step-wise movement of collimator jaws (can choose from 5 –
100 µm steps)• The software automatically moves in the collimator until the resulting
BLM signal exceeds a user-defined threshold.

Initialization Procedure
1) Move collimators in parallel to the beam by class (TCSG, TCLA, TCT) and plane
Gianluca Valentino 9
Limitation: Multiple Collimators stop moving!

in plane)

Collimator Setup Time Comparison
• The time taken to set up collimators is the most important indicator of the efficiency of a set up algorithm.
• Data from the logbook cross-checked with Timber.
• Average Time per Collimator = Time used for set up / Number of collimators
• Total Shift Time = Time used for setup + Time taken to get the LHC back to the operating point in case of a beam dump*.
* For 2010, these values were taken from S. Redaelli’s Chamonix 2011 talk on “Optimization of the Nominal Cycle”.

Conclusions
• New semi-automatic collimator setup tool works.
• Quality of collimator setup compares well with last year.
• Improvement by factor ~1.5 in setup time at flat top.
• Improvement by factor ~5 in setup times for after squeeze and collisions.
• No dumps with new software.
• Ongoing work to improve the system, particularly setup time per collimator.

Future Work: 30 Hz BLM Signal
• Next year: 30 Hz BLM signal should increase the setup speed further.
• How can we exploit this as much as possible?• This is related to ongoing work by F. Burkart on halo population
studies.

Other Future Work
• Identify automatically the collimator causing the loss signal during setup.
• Dynamic variation of step size, possibly helped by also obtaining feedback from other BLM running sums and other BLM locations.
• “Real-time” BLM signal loss simulator to test future setup algorithms.
• LHC MD time requested for testing new algorithms.
