Scope

During the HL-LHC IT String Day II in 2022 (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1183794/) key aspects were reviewed concerning the readiness and installation strategy for the HL-LHC IT String equipment, the test program of the facility and safety aspects during its installation and operation. 

The main objectives of the HL-LHC IT String Day III are:

a. Present the lessons learned during the installations and commissioning performed since the last IT String Day.

b. Describe the main upcoming activities, including: the tools to be used, the sequence and the target period for installation, the validation tests and the safety measures to be applied.

c. Explore the test program for the HL-LHC IT String Hardware Commissioning and the HL-LHC IT String Specific tests.

d. Report on the status of the test procedures for the IT String Hardware Commissioning and the associated software.

The advisors nominated by the HL-LHC Project Leader and the TE Department Head will be asked to give their feedback and recommendations to the Management as well as to share their comments with the HL-LHC WP16 core team.

Invited: HLPO; ATS Director, ATS DHs; WPLs & Deputies; GLs & Deputies; Magnet Circuits Expert; Polarity Controller; participation may be extended upon proposal of GLs or WPLs.

Speakers will be invited to organize their presentations based on defined questions to ensure that in the short time allowed within the program the relevant information is given in a homogenous way. The questions will be formulated for each session and each speaker.

In the same spirit the IT String Day will be repeated with dedicated and adapted content in the next coming years to report on the advancement and the lessons learned from each phase of the facility.
