The First 1 1/2 Years of TOTEM Roman Pot Operation at LHC
Since the LHC running season 2010, the TOTEM Roman Pots (RPs) are fully
operational and serve for collecting elastic and diffractive proton-proton
scattering data. Like for other moveable devices approaching the high intensity
LHC beams, a reliable and precise control of the RP position is critical to
machine protection. After a review of the RP movement control and position
interlock system, the crucial task of alignment will be discussed.Comment: 3 pages, 6 figures; 2nd International Particle Accelerator Conference
