R2E shielding for LHC Points 1, 5 and 8
A.L. Perrot, R2E Project The level of flux of hadrons with energy in the multi MeV range expected from the collisions at the interaction
Points 1, 5 and 8 induce Single Event Errors (SEE) of the standard electronics present in many of the control equipment. Such events perturb the LHC. It is proposed to install additional shielding to protect the equipment that cannot be moved. This process is foreseen in two phases as the beam current and luminosity rise. Phase I consists in installing shielding in the RBs, UJs around
Point 1. Phase II consists in installing shielding in US85 and in the RRs around Points 1 and 5. It is proposed to perform Phase I during the 2011-2012 Christmas break and Phase II during the Long Shutdown 1 (LS1). This ECR documents these two phases.

Protection of equipment located in
UJ14 and UJ16
A. L. Perrot for R2E The level of radiation expected from the collisions at the interaction point 1, and more precisely the flux of hadrons with energy in the multi MeV range, will induce
Single Event Errors (SEE) of the standard electronics present in many of the control equipment located in
UJ14 and UJ16. Such events would perturb the LHC, possibly leading to critical situations for the machine elements. It is furthermore proposed to relocate part of the equipment installed in UJ14/16 into UL14/16 and
US15, where the amount of radiation is reduced. The relocation of the SEE sensitive equipment identified by the RADWG is foreseen for the first LHC long shutdown.
This ECR documents this implementation

Replacement of the Original, 200V
Arc Chambers by the 1050V Dipole
Version on the Energy Extraction
Switches of the LHC Main
Quadrupole Circuits
The proposal concerns the replacement of the 128 existing arc chambers which are presently equipping the
LHC quadrupole extraction switches (DQSQF/DQSQD) by the type of arc chambers which are in used on the extraction switches of the 8 LHC main dipole circuits
(DQSB, also 128 units). This change will remove a major obstacle for operating the LHC machine up to nominal beam energy while at the same time maintaining the extraction discharge time constants of 9.5 s which were introduced in these 16 LHC circuits at the same time as the implementation of the nQPS system for operation up to 3.5 TeV.

Modification of the LHC UJ43/UJ47
Chicanes.
M. Galofré-Vilà On the 26th of January 2011, during the execution of a
LHC regular drill, we identified an access problem while crossing the UJ-47 chicane (located 2,440 meters from
PM 45) with Fire Brigade intervention electrical powered tractors and trolley (Pefra®). The inaccessibility via the chicanes compromise Fire Brigade operational deployment in case of emergency intervention. In order to restore the accessibility the ECR propose modification on UJ-43 & UJ 47 to grant the access.

Voltage-Adjustable Trigger
Introduction for Discharge in the
Quench Heater Circuits of the LHC
Main Magnets to use at Heater
Circuit Qualification
In addition to the existing, operational trigger for activation of the process of discharge of the quench heater power supplies, driven by the QPS quench protection interlock or a command from the ‘QPS Expert’ platform, a new software application has been developed. It is intended for use during verification of the discharge circuits. The new facility is a software creation which allows discharges at a pre-determined voltage lower than the nominal level of capacitor charging (normally between 850V and 920V)… Application is particularly recommended after warm-up of the cold masses above 80K.
