| Abstract: | Maximum beam cleaning efficiency and LHC machineprotection is provided when the collimator jaws are prop-erly adjusted at well-defined distances from the circulatingbeams. The required settings for different locations aroundthe 27 km long LHC rings are determined through beam-based collimator alignment, which uses feedback from theBeam Loss Monitoring (BLM) system. After the first expe-rience with beam, a systematic automation of the alignmentprocedure was performed. This paper gives an overview ofthe algorithms developed to speed up the alignment and re-duce human errors. The experience accumulated in fouryears of operation, from 2010 to 2013 is reviewed. |
