The LHC announcer

Post by oxodoes » Mon Aug 09, 2010 10:01 am

Good news everyone! As of today the offical LHC Announcer is publicly available at: http://cern.ch/announcer

This is the same system that is in use in the CCC and that we have first heard of during the 3.5 TeV media event. It gives us a lot of previously unavailable informations (collimator movement, live beta values, wire scans, bucket numbers ...) in a very convenient way.

Thanks to everyone who has helped making this public

Celladore I believe they are groups of corrector magnets that are turned on at various parts of the cycle some before the ramp and others after the ramp.

" The LHC is a complex machine requiring more than 7400 superconducting corrector magnets distributed along a
circumference of 26.7 km. These magnets are powered in 1446 different electrical circuits at currents ranging from
60 A up to 600 A."

From http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1124100?ln=en

So I believe they have various combinations of the above corrector magnets arraigned in groups to simplify what is a complex procedure of producing collisions precisely where required.
