The CERN Detector Safety System for the LHC Experiments
The Detector Safety System (DSS), currently being developed at CERN under the
auspices of the Joint Controls Project (JCOP), will be responsible for assuring
the protection of equipment for the four LHC experiments. Thus, the DSS will
require a high degree of both availability and reliability. After evaluation of
various possible solutions, a prototype is being built based on a redundant
Siemens PLC front-end, to which the safety-critical part of the DSS task is
delegated. This is then supervised by a PVSS SCADA system via an OPC server.
The PLC front-end is capable of running autonomously and of automatically
taking predefined protective actions whenever required. The supervisory layer
provides the operator with a status display and with limited online
reconfiguration capabilities. Configuration of the code running in the PLCs
will be completely data driven via the contents of a "Configuration Database".
Thus, the DSS can easily adapt to the different and constantly evolving
requirements of the LHC experiments during their construction, commissioning
and exploitation phases.Comment: Talk from the 2003 Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics

Localization and superconducting proximity effect in sandwiched potassium films
Thin films of alkali metals when sandwiched at both surfaces by thin metal
films loose their conductance. The superconducting proximity effect is used to
investigate the change in the alkali film. On the length scale of the film
thickness the electronic properties of the alkali film do not change noticeably
although its conductance is dramatically reduced, corresponding to localized
electrons.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure
Severe discrepancies between experiment and theory in the superconducting proximity effect
The superconducting proximity effect is investigated for SN double layers in
a regime where the resulting transition temperature T_{c} does not depend on
the mean free paths of the films and, within limits, not on the transparency of
the interface. This regime includes the thin film limit and the normalized
initial slope S_{sn}= (d_{s}/T_{s})|dT_{c}/dd_{n}|. The experimental results
for T_{c} are compared with a numerical simulation which was recently developed
in our group. The results for the SN double layers can be devided into three
groups: (i) When N = Cu, Ag, Au, Mg a disagreement between experiment and
theory by a factor of the order of three is observed, (ii) When N = Cd, Zn, Al
the disagreement between experiment and theory is reduced to a factor of about
1.5, (iii) When N = In, Sn a reasonably good agreement between experiment and
theory is observed
The Superconducting Proximity Effect as a Tool to Investigate Metal Films and Interfaces
052The superconducting
proximity effect is measured in sandwiches of thin Pb films and the alkali
metals Cs, Rb, K and Na. The -dependence provides information about the
interface barriers between Pb and the alkalis. Such a barrier is particularly
large in Pb/Cs sandwiches. It is not due to impurities or oxydation. In the
presence of a sufficiently strong barrier a special form of the Cooper limit
can be applied to calculate the transition temperature of the sandwich
