About
This session provides an introduction on what can possibly go wrong when operating a particle accelerator and how to prevent this from happening. Depending on the type of machine and type of particles used, the damage potential can be insignificant or significant, leading to different mitigative measures required to reduce the likelihood of accidents to occur. We will present a list of criteria that can be used to determine a comprehensive strategy for protecting the machine from damage. Further, we will explain how to develop a machine protection strategy and how to implement relevant principles accordingly by providing hands-on examples, covering the full life cycle from early concept, to detailed design, to construction, early commissioning, as well as operation and maintenance of a machine.
