LHC portal

I read this a lot in the logs and tried to get a transition via the web but nothing makes sense. They way it's usually phrased makes me think it could mean "Supervisor" or another word for Expert or Guru.

Thankx again all for the great help!

Good question, I dont know...

Hi jmayes and Xymox,
can only speak for LHCb as I am part of it..

Shift team: in control room, min 2 persons
Subdetector Piquet: specialist for a given subdetector, has to be able to be on-site within 30 minutes after request
Subdetector Expert: reachable 24/7 via phone, can be anywhere

Great website: I collect many machine infos at the VISTARs together with this forum. Keep it up!

This should clarify it:

LHCb Organisation of Piquet and Shifts: https://edms.cern.ch/file/924718/1/shift.pdf

LHCb is doing a awesome job. The Live events page is cool. No other experiment has one. Your currently in the lead in providing live event data. Its the #1 request of people here..

Great job !

Glad to have you posting on the forum

I am thinking about having a sub forum for each experiment.

Thank you dh2va!

Glad to have you here and look forward to more information exchange!

Thank you for the clarification and a "Great Work" to the Whole LHB/Experiment Team!

Piquet is a french term - it means a standby service. For many systems there is a piquet service in place where people take it in turns to be on-call in case of need - breakdowns etc.

This is not usually staffed by the system experts since the piquet service may cover many pieces of equipment in several machines. If the piquet cant' solve the problem himself he would call out the expert.

Thankx for that pcatom, that really clears it up!

Funny when I tried a French to English translator I just got Picket like picket fence but I knew that was wrong.

Thankx gin,
J
