Description

Hardware commissioning of the superconducting magnet circuits at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is performed yearly to validate their powering and protection functionalities. During each campaign, more than 1,500 circuits must be commissioned. For this purpose, several thousand powering tests are executed and analyzed to ensure safe and reliable operation. Historically, this process relied on legacy or manual tools, resulting in a high workload and sometimes inconsistent results.

Over the past two years, a Python-based automated analysis of powering tests has been developed within the Signal Monitoring (SigMon) project at CERN to streamline the validation process. The 2026 hardware commissioning campaign marked the first time this automated analysis was applied to all powering tests across the superconducting magnet circuits of the LHC.
