2014 main achievements
• 2014 achievements
– Protection devices for high brightness beams - need to
attenuate 100-200% more than present design !
• Solution found for the TI 2, TI 8 TCDIs – optics (with
magnets/power converters), integration, materials,
operation/machine protection - Engineering specs being finalised
• HiRadMat tests being prepared – very important
– SPS orbit correction –See Giovanni
– SPS orbit stability
• Shot-by-shot trajectory variation: Continuous improvements of
the MSE current stability – MSE4 and 6 now identical
performance (Gilles’ team)
• Bunch-by-bunch variation: MKE waveform improved (MKE4 con’t)
– Feasibility studies for the LIU-SPS external beam dump
• LSS6, LSS4, LSS5 examined – LSS5 concept developed Bren/Francesco- and retained
LSS5 external beam dump

2015 challenges
• 2015
– Review and finalise all functional specs for all protection devices and
dumps
– Launch design studies and procurements
– Perform HiRadMat tests
– Continue orbit/stability studies (MDs) – understand source/test
patches
– Take a decision on performing the External beam dump – needs
some remaining CE information
• Conclusions
– Thanks to Verena and team for all efforts done and brilliant results.
– Verena will chair this working group as of Jan/ 2015 – mandate and
objectives will be reviewed, in phase with the phase of the project
