Resources

Papers, presentations and links for the Signal Monitoring project, oldest material included. Several of the destinations are reachable only from inside CERN, and some of them describe tools that have since been retired — those are marked where they appear.

The module documentation for the earlier lhc-sm-api (Analysis, GUI, Metadata, DbSignal, pyeDSL, API Reference) is kept in the Signal Monitoring API archive.

Papers

The first entry is the account of the 2026 campaign, in which all mandatory and on-request powering tests were analysed automatically for the first time.

Presentations

Talks and posters given by project members to the MPE group, to MP3 and to wider audiences.

Kept as a record of how the project developed. The eDSL and pyeDSL work described in some of these has since been replaced by the Python analysis packages.

These point at systems that are decommissioned or superseded. They are listed because older documents and notebooks still refer to them.
