Prerequsites

Hardware Commissioning - exit

• PIC tested all circuits
• QPS compatibility - swithc 0n swithc off tests
• To 20% nominal: power converter current loops, protection systesm, quench recovery, ramping, polrarity checks,
• DCCT calibration of mains and inner triplets
• Tracking
• Theraml performance
• 24 hour reliablity run

Essentially as for full 7 TeV commissioning

Beam Instrumentation - should be able to pick all this up in shadow of installation and hardware commissioining.

Magnets

• Need to be able to cycle main bends, quads, sextupoles to 20-30% of nominal
• Similarly insertion quads, seperation dipoles
• Correction circuits less than or equal to b3 - fully commissioned - including all orbit correctors.
• Quench protection - natural quenches unlikely but could still quench with beam, therefore all QPS/EE qualified as required.
• PIC - tested - all circuits

Machine protection

• BIS plus SBF
• LBDS connected to BIS
• User input: collimators, TCDQ, TDI, injection kickers, PIC, FCDM, experiments
• BEM
• Software interlocks
