One list to find them all
One list to find them all by Federico Ravotti on behalf of the Irradiation Facilities Team in EP-DT-DD Detector and accelerator developers need irradiation facilities to test their components under conditions that are as close as possible to real applications as well as to predict and prevent failures in materials. For future accelerator projects like

New dosimeter design for FCC
New dosimeter design for FCC by Federico Ravotti on behalf of the Irradiation Facilities Team in EP-DT-DD The presence of radiation at the LHC and its experiments may cause damage to sensitive electronics equipment, particle detectors and magnets, compromising their operation and affecting their physics program. Until now at CERN silicon-based dosimeters (also called RADMON)

Upgrade of the Magnet Safety System for Experimental Magnets
Upgrade of the Magnet Safety System for Experimental Magnets by Giovanna Lehmann Miotto on behalf of EP-DT-DI The Magnet Safety System (MSS) is a critical system that ensures the safety of experimental magnets, both warm and superconducting. It was developed within EP-DT for the LHC experiments, starting at the end of the 90’s, in the

The EP-DT Composite Lab manufactures a full carbon-composite box prototype to host the new LHCb Upstream Tracker detector.
The EP-DT Composite Lab manufactures a full carbon-composite box prototype to host the new LHCb Upstream Tracker detector. By Francois Boyer The LHCb Collaboration will replace the Trigger Tracker (TT) detector by the Upstream Tracker (UT) during LS2. The UT detector will be installed in a box (UT box) which will serve as the boundary

Successful commissioning of the new PH-DT safety and control system for the refurbished COMPASS Solenoid.
Successful commissioning of the new PH-DT safety and control system for the refurbished COMPASS Solenoid. The PH-DT Instrumentation and Controls team has being developing a new safety system for experimental magnets using National Instruments CompactRIO devices. CRIO is a reconfigurable embedded system containing a processor running a real-time operating system (RTOS), a FPGA, and interchangeable
