Slow Extraction: Upgrades for Next Ion Medical Machines at FLASH timescales / Taylor, Rebecca
Slow resonant extraction is the control of resonant beams to extract a continuous rate of particles from the accelerator, over seconds. This technique is crucial for hadron therapy synchrotrons, where slowly extracted beams are scanned across tumour volumes. [...]

Development and Reliability Testing of a new Low-Voltage Power Supply for the ATLAS Hadronic Tile-Calorimeter Phase-II Upgrade / Mckenzie, Ryan Peter (University of the Witwatersrand (ZA))
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located at the Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (CERN) also known as the European Laboratory of Particle Physics, is a two- ring-superconducting-hadron accelerator and collider located on the Franco-Swiss bor- der. The LHC was successfully commissioned in 2010 for proton–proton collisions and is expected to deliver 500 fb−1 before Long Shutdown three (LS3) that is schedule to commence in 2026. [...]

High voltage consolidation of the temperature measurement channels of the LHC superconducting current leads / Trikoupis, N (CERN) ; Casas-Cubillos, J (CERN) ; Bustamante, E (CERN)
Recurrent dielectric breakdowns on the cryogenics instrumentation during the CERN LHC Electrical Quality Assurance (ELQA) campaigns led to an investigation of their root causes. During the CERN Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), several weaknesses were identified like floating wires or cable screens, cabling non-conformities, connector assembly issues, and weakness of the electronic conditioning cards.

Analysis of double-resonance crossing in adiabatic trapping phenomena for quasi-integrable area-preserving maps with time-dependent exciters / Bazzani, Armando (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Capoani, Federico (Bologna U. ; INFN, Bologna) ; Giovannozzi, Massimo (CERN)
In this paper, we analyze the adiabatic crossing of a resonance for Hamiltonian systems when a double-resonance condition is satisfied by the linear frequency at an elliptic fixed point. We discuss in detail the phase-space structure on a class of Hamiltonians and area-preserving maps with an elliptic fixed point in the presence of a time-dependent exciter. [...]

Reliability run and data analysis of the accelerated aging of present and future electrolytic capacitors installed in the protection systems of superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN / Guasch-Martínez, J (CERN) ; Carrillo, D (CERN) ; de Nicolás, E (CERN) ; Bjorkhaug, E (CERN) ; Nowak, E (CERN) ; Pojer, M (CERN) ; Rodríguez-Mateos, F (CERN)
This study evaluates the lifetime and aging process of the aluminium electrolytic capacitors to be used in the new protection systems of the High Luminosity LHC superconducting magnets. The accelerated testing and analysis of several groups of capacitors aged for more than one year provided insights into their expected lifespan and aging process. [...]
