The Experiment Control System for the LHCb BCM in Run 3 — Johannes Albrecht1, Federico Alessio2, Martin Bieker1, Elena Dall’Occo1, and •David Rolf1,2 — 1TU Dortmund University, Dortmund, Germany — 2CERN, Geneva, Switzerland
The Beam Conditions Monitor (BCM) is a safety system of the LHCb experiment, designed to prevent radiation damage to sensitive detector components due to bad beam conditions. Should an adverse beam scenario occur, the BCM will trigger a beam dump, thus preventing the beam from damaging the detector.
As part of the comprehensive upgrade of the LHCb detector, the readout of the BCM has been upgraded. The outdated hardware is replaced by a newly designed Machine Interface Beam Abort Decision (MIBAD) board. To operate and monitor the MIBAD a new Experiment Control System (ECS) has been implemented and integrated into the global LHCb control system.
This contribution presents the BCM and MIBAD board, with a focus on the implemented ECS. In particular, the communication protocols and design considerations of the individual components of the ECS are discussed in detail.
