“…The beam emittance is expected to be larger than the nominal value quoted in [5], with a minimum value of ' 1:5 mm mrad, owing to rest-gas scattering at the nal momentum of 100 MeV/c. Furthermore, due to variations of the elements in the AD and its transport lines between di erent extractions, the area in phase-space covered by the beam over several shots will belarger than the true emittance.…”

The CERN Antiproton Decelerator will deliver low energy beams to four experimental beam-lines installed within the accelerator circumference. The limited space available imposes tight constraints on the topology of the beam-lines needed by the experimental devices. In this paper, the general layout of the experimental area is reviewed. Furthermore, a discussion of the so-called measurement line for AD beam property measurements is included.

“…The results presented in Baird et al reveal a recommendation, that in order to limit the amount of shielding, access to the area during operation with protons is not allowed. [14]. The vehicle was designed to ensure all the handling operations, such as handling of the magnets or exchanging targets at the AD target area.…”

To be able to find answers for challenging research questions about the universe, advanced machinery in major research institutions -e.g. accelerator complexes -is needed. In such expensive research facilities, which generate ionizing radiation, it is necessary to protect people, infrastructure and the environment from harm. To meet functional safety requirements, machinery shall fulfil high safety standards throughout its life. This paper aims to propose a methodology for preserving the functional safety of the equipment already in operation and the maintenance phase of the lifecycle. A methodology is proposed to enable better integration of information from practice into design requirements for modifications, such as upgrades and retrofits. The method is based on existing functional safety standards. The goal is to increase the operational time while preserving performance at the intended level.
