Robotic solution: successful preparation of the CMS rotating shielding for future HL-LHC vacuum module installation
The CMS rotating shielding has now been successfully modified in-situ to prepare it to receive new vacuum modules for the HL-LHC, using a specifically designed method to deal with the space and radiation constraints of this complex manoeuvre.

JTT installation completed
JTT installation completed By Oliver Boettcher and Francisco Sanchez-Galan, HL-LHC WP8 (CERN) Exactly one week after installing the first JTT on ATLAS A-side (August 12th), the second JTT on the C-side was also successfully completed on August 19th. These achievements were the product of intensive activity coordination and a high level of commitment of all
