ACCELERATOR CONSOLIDATION

WORKSHOP

Introduction

S. Baird 12th September 2013

Accelerator Consolidation Workshop Why are we here? Boundary conditions What is (not) included? Outcome and follow-up

What is Consolidation?

Definitions of Consolidation Business: Merger of smaller companies to create larger ones Geology: Process by which soil decreases in volume Debt: Combination of multiple loans into one big loan Information: Combining data from multiple sources into a

centralized system Land: Joining fragmented parcels of land into contiguous plots Beliefs: Strengthening of principles Medicine: Solidification into a firm dense mass Steam Locomotive: 2-8-0 in the Whyte classification (USA)

CERN: Replacement or renovation of ageing equipment to improve accelerator reliability

Not UPGRADE, not to improve performance this is LIU HL-LHC etc…

Why are we all here? Everyone can hear what everyone else

wants to do Does your work have potential implications

for me? Make a coherent accelerator consolidation

(ACC-CONS) plan to LS2 and beyondSet prioritiesJustify the resources Interaction with other projects LIU, HL-LHC…

○ What we do and when we need to do it

Boundary conditions Activities which are started and already funded in 2013 will

not be discussed unless there are major changes in the overall costs (not re-profiling)

Urgent activities you need to start in 2014 will be considered What, Why & How much

Activities you will need to start in the period 2015 to 2020 What, Why, When & How much

Covering LINACs, LEIR, PSB, PS, SPS, LHC, AD & North Area AD & North Area have limited financing after LS1 EAST Area is not financed after LS1!

What is included in ACC-CONS?

Accelerator equipment In the tunnel and in service buildingsDon’t forget the associated controls

Accelerator services Electricity, cabling, water, cooling, ventilation, access

systems, tunnel smoke detection….Don’t forget the associated controls

Infrastructure Tunnels & accelerator surface buildings

LHC Spares Program: In 2010 “P Strubin” report on missing LHC spares was

included in ACC-CONS“Completed” by 2015

We should not use ACC-CONS to replace missing operations (or other) budget.

ACC-CONS is not for…Regular replacement of equipment on a continuous

basisMaintenance programsConsumablesRegularly used spare parts

But what if important activities are not covered by an Operations budget?

What is (not) included?

CONTROLSBE/CO & EN/ICE will NOT have

Consolidation budgets for your worksIf your activity needs controls modifications,

we will include this in your budget allocation What about replacement of control

system hardware?Equipment gets outdated very quicklyShould this be in ACC-CONS?

What is (not) included?

Main workshop, cranes & transport equipment…?? During LHC construction,

very limited resources for renovation works Urgent renovation works were included in

ACC-CONSto cover a number of essential works

However, there is a need forregular and systematic renovation on a

continuous basis. Funding for these type of activities needs to

be clarified with Sector Management & RPC

Proposal Organize a dedicated meeting (early in 2014?)

with sector management to decide how this kind of activity should be funded in the long-term

Replacement of outdated Controls hardware Main workshop equipment Renovation of cranes etc. …..

This stuff all needs to be done but how? Individual separate projects, ACC-CONS,

Operations budget…???

Outcome & Follow-up

Information from today will be put together and used to establish a new plan

Presented at a follow-up seminar in October, after discussion with Groups etc.

Special sector meeting (early in 2014?) on activities, which must be funded and maintained but not necessarily as part of ACC-CONS
