# Machine Protection - Institution: CERN - Department: CAS - CERN Accelerator School - Speaker: Daniel Wollmann - Year: 2025 - Level: Graduate - Language: English - Subjects: Physics, Engineering, Earth and environment - Source: [CERN](https://videos.cern.ch/record/3027045) - Licence: [CERN](https://copyright.web.cern) - Who can watch: Tweens profiles and older (sources give no ratings; placed by Invisible Network from the source's own words) The uncontrolled release of even a small fraction of the energy stored in the beams or magnet systems of a high-energy particle accelerator can cause severe damage to accelerator and detector components, potentially resulting in significant downtime. This necessitates a careful evaluation of possible failure scenarios and their mitigation through passive and active protection systems. This lecture will introduce the field of machine protection, providing an overview of the sophisticated machine protection system implemented in the LHC and illustrating failure cases from existing and future accelerators. It will also present insights from material damage tests performed at CERN to assess the consequences of failures beyond design. 00:00:00 Slide 1 00:00:18 Slide 2 00:01:29 Slide 3 00:02:25 Slide 4 00:04:24 Slide 5 00:07:17 Slide 6 00:08:29 Slide 7 00:11:32 Slide 8 00:13:39 Slide 9 00:14:51 Slide 10 00:16:10 Slide 11 00:16:28 Slide 12 00:18:24 Slide 13 00:20:03 Slide 14 00:20:42 Slide 15 00:22:52 Slide 16 00:24:18 Slide 17 00:25:44 Slide 18 00:26:11 Slide 19 00:26:35 Slide 20 00:27:50 Slide 21 00:28:37 Slide 22 00:30:00 Slide 23 00:30:42 Slide 24 00:31:08 Slide 25 00:31:35 Slide 26 00:31:55 Slide 27 00:32:31 Slide 28 00:32:56 Slide 29 00:33:16 Slide 30 00:33:34 Slide 31 00:34:22 Slide 32 00:35:29 Slide 33 00:38:02 Slide 34 00:38:39 Slide 35 00:40:01 Slide 36 00:41:55 Slide 37 00:44:00 Slide 38 00:45:53 Slide 39 00:47:43 Slide 40 ## Lectures 1.
