East Area Renovation Project
The facility is old thus causing reliability issues and operational restrictions.
The primary beam line is generating high radiations, due to the nature of its
usage and the lack of ventilation.
The buildings achieved in the 60’s are not insulated and contain hazardous
material.

                                                                       Power is currently supplied to the magnets on a continuous

                                                                       Power converters to the new magnets will be on a cyclical basis,

                                                                       magnets.

FCC footprint exploration (for 12 suitable surface sites)
Since CDR, much detailed input was gathered on „territorial constraints“  CDR placement to be disregarded.
Enormous amount of requirements to be respected simultaneously (machine design, geology, urbanistic, environmental, ...).
Efficient tool needed to
- vary machine and geographical ring parameters and update the resulting positions of 12 access points in real time;
- use various base maps and superimpose additional layers (e.g. constraints maps/“sensibility grids”).
While using it, underground and transfer line criteria are borne in mind.
Following that first step, results are output for further processing (ArcGIS DB, site description/analysis, “micro-optimisation”, …).

FLASH radiotherapy: CDR in 2020

                                  An intense beam of electrons is produced in a
                                  photoinjector, accelerated to around 100 MeV and
                                  then is expanded, shaped and guided to the patient.

                                  The design of this facility is the result of an intense
                                  dialogue between groups at CHUV and CERN.

                                  Jean Bourhis from CHUV:
                                  “The clinical need that we have really converges
                                  with the technological answer that CERN has.”

Booster – PSB: new main power converter (POPS B)

   Milestone activity of the PSB HW commissioning carried out :
      About 6000 A peak current, 3000 V peak voltage and 18 MW peak power.
      About 7000 kJ stored in capacitors ≈ 2 kg of TNT!
   Reliability run ongoing: POPS-B and main magnets pulsed more than 270000 times since the beginning of
    the commissioning.
   Pulsing at both 1.4 GeV (pre-LS2) and 2.0 GeV (post-LIU) kinetic energies.
   As a side note, the previous Main Power Supply (MPS) was also resurrected and tested at 1.4 GeV and will
    serve as emergency backup.
