The Machine Protection System (MPS) is an interlock system to turn off or reduce the rate of the beam in response to fault conditions that may either damage or cause unwanted activation of machine parts. The three active devices in the LCLS MPS are an abort kicker that is able to kick a single electron bunch, and a Pockels cell and mechanical shutter that block the laser light.
