1 CH-1211 Geneva 23 Switzerland the Large Hadron Collider project Div./Group or Supplier/Contractor Document No. AC/TCP EDMS Document No Date: Quality Assurance Definition NAMING CONVENTIONS FOR BUILDINGS AND CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS Abstract This document provides rules for defining standard abbreviations for the LHC surface buildings and the various parts of the underground Civil Engineering works. These abbreviated names will be of prime importance, as they will be the main key to retrieve all the information of a given building in the different data bases and will provide a common language for all groups involved in the LHC Collider project, inside and outside. This document is based on and supersedes the LHC Project Report 92 on Naming Conventions for the Large Hadron Collider Project [1].

These abbreviated names will be of prime importance, as they will be the main key to retrieve all the information of a given building in the different data bases and will provide a common language for all groups involved in the LHC Collider project, inside and outside. This document is based on and supersedes the LHC Project Report 92 on Naming Conventions for the Large Hadron Collider Project [1]. The increasing size of the colliders and therefore the distribution of the buildings over vast areas and their numbers has led to their naming using abbreviated names. These are constructed using a predefined number of alphanumeric characters. Rules are defined for the choice and the meaning of each character and its position in the name. The abbreviated names are chosen so that they reflect as closely as possible the nature and the usage of the building. However, a building or civil engineering works the usage of which changes from LEP to LHC will retain its original name. 3. SCOPE The naming conventions described in the present document apply to the LHC surface buildings, its pits, underground works including the collider tunnel, its injection lines TI2 up to TT60 and TI8 up to TT40 and, and its external beam lines. 4. RESPONSIBILITIES Any change or revision of the naming conventions must be endorsed first by the Parameter and Layout Committee and by the Technical Coordination Committee. The revised version must then be approved by the Project Leader or by his Deputy for Quality Assurance. 4.1 PROCEDURE FOR THE CREATION OF ABBREVIATIONS New abbreviations for Civil Engineering works are defined by the Infrastructure Section of the EST/ESI Group, under the responsibility of its Section Leader, who must inform LHC Project Assistant for Quality Assurance and the Leader of the Real Estate Data and Drawings Section of the ST/CE Group. This latter person must also keep upto-date the dictionary of Works Types. 5. CIVIL ENGINEERING WORKS The LHC Collider, [2], will be installed in the LEP tunnel and its geometry will closely follow that of the LEP machine. Most of the infrastructure built for LEP will be needed for LHC. In particular, the access points to the tunnel and the service areas on the surface will be concentrated around the existing LEP access points, which are numbered from 1 to 8, in the clockwise direction starting with Point 1 opposite to the main entrance of the Meyrin site, see Fig. 1.

5 Page 5 of 7 The abbreviation system used for the LEP surface buildings and underground works will therefore be kept for LHC. New works will be identified according to this system, while existing installations will keep their LEP name, even if their usage for LHC is different. 5.1 ABBREVIATION DEFINITION Each name is made of up to six alphanumeric characters, split in two groups of three. The first group is alphabetic and defines the works type and the second the works number. This convention is totally conform to the Naming conventions for LEP buildings and Civil Engineering [3].

6 R = Ring underground works on the beam path S = Surface buildings T = Tunnels and underground galleries U = Other underground works, not directly on the beam path SECOND CHARACTER Page 6 of 7 It indicates the main the main usage of the building and underground work, with the following list: A = Acceleration and Radio-frequency equipment B = Equipment for Low Beta section C = Controls and Communications D = Material unloading E = Electricity F = Fluids G = Gas for detectors H = Cryogenics I = Injection J = Junction caverns L = Liaison galleries M = Magnets and other machine equipment P = Personal Protection and Fire Brigade R = Power Converters S = Services T = Beam transfer U = Ventilation W = Water X = Experiments Y = Access control Z = Access THIRD CHARACTER This character is optional and is used either to be more precise on the usage of the works concerned or to distinguish between different specific parts of that works. Special rules are defined for each case. This facility is mainly used for electrical buildings and for experimental halls or when an existing building has to be extended for LHC. Annex 1 gives the list of civil engineering works abbreviations actually in use. 5.3 WORKS NUMBERING Up to three digits follow the works type and are used to localize the works concerned. The first numeric character is the octant number. 0 is used for designing the whole LHC site, while 9 is used for zones outside the domain. The second digit allows a more precise localization with respect to the middle of the octant: this point (the former LEP collision point) is given the number 5 and the octant is split in equal parts, numbered from 1 to 9 in the clockwise direction. The last and optional digit can be

BUILDING NUMBERING The patrimony is kept by the Civil Engineering Group in the ST Division. The Group is responsible for the civil engineering design and/or works carried out on all sites for the LHC Civil Engineering Project in collaboration with the architects experts, consultants and contractors. The CE Group keeps an inventory of the buildings it is situated in the web pages of the ST-CE group [4]. This page describes the usage of the building and gives the correspondence between the ST names and the LEP/LHC names. 7.
