Recent Happenings

Power outage for substation work – contractors Work on TOF system and KL – Maurizio, Ludovico and group New Rack installation continues – Henry, Roger, Geoff Work on LH2 system in Hall – Matt Hills and co. Arrival of infrastructure for Step IV Target in R78 – Target group EMR group coming soon EMR data-taking in JULY User Run – Beam starts June 27

10 May – 9 June 2011: ISIS run 10 June – 12 June 2011: machine physics – pushed back to June 13/14 13 June – 26 June 2011: shutdown – starts now June 15 27 June – 3 July: run up and machine physics 4 July 2011: machine permits

5 July – 4 August 2011: ISIS run 5 August – 7 August 2011: machine physics 8 August – 4 September 2011: shutdown? (subject to change)


Power Outage in MICE Hall

POWER OFF: Hall and Rack Room affected

Lights, fire, some wall power still on – ie. Work in Hall continues

Status:DAQ machines OFFPPS rack OFFTarget rack OFFDS rack OFFMagnet rack OFFNetwork switches ON UPS on wallRAID machines OFFONREC01 OFFOPIPC1 & 3 OFFMICESTORE OFF

Checked rack room and all consumer units isolated OFF

Checked all hall racks and all consumer units isolated OFF

POWER ON: MICE Control Room still powered

ON In Hall: Neutron Monitor DS Vacuum pump in DSA SY527 HV crate CKOV air flow

Some Online Computers remain ON for use by group

IOCPC1 ON wall power ONREC02 ON wall ECSERV2 ON wall IOCPC2 ON wall ECSERV ON wall CAGATEWAY ON wall OPIPC2 ON wall


Work on Substation in Hall

Power out as of Friday May 13 Work began promptly – old equipment already gone Expected complete by Friday May 27 (next week) – possbily sooner


Return from Power Outage

Developing plan for bringing up the system again Controlled, gradual turn-on of systems Test of equipment – learn of any potential failures early! Turn ON and test w/o beam as much as possible Decay Solenoid cooldown will start as soon as relevant equipment is

powered – likely June 1 Beam test planned for Machine Physics period after current User Run –

now June 13/14 Need experts either at RAL or on call:

DAQ - Yordan, Jean-Sebastien Controls & Monitoring – Pierrick Control Room/Rack Room/New Rack – Craig, Henry DS - Mike Courthold, Matt Hills

Need water restored to Hall – pipes were cut for substation work No water to magnets, magnet PS, LH2 system


TOF, KL & CKOV Update

Italian groups were at RAL last week working hard to get detectors ready again The repaired SY527 HV crate was delivered and reinstalled in the Hall

HV’s for TOF0, TOF2 must be taken from new tables and have been modified inside minicom

The installation work of last week 9/5-13/5 was successfully accomplished. TOF0 - A PMT on TOF0 was changed with a DSA access by the MIB team KL & TOF2

The RM3 downstream platform was modified to allow easy installation of the EMR calorimeter by the RM3 team (Ludovico, Alfredo, Maximo and Valerio) with the help of the MIB team and the MIce Hall Willie's team

Both detectors were recabled and all PMTs tested. One dead TOF2 PMT was discovered – on the edge - swapped out for a spare

TOF0, TOF2, and KL are in good shape and ready for data-taking TOF1 delivery scheduled for mid-June CKOVa out of beamline – Lucien & David to RAL mid-June


Rack Room & PPS

New rack almost full (grid data mover PC, micestore, miceacq* servers and DAQ KVM system) Old micestore turned on last Thursday to do requested backup New micestore will be brought online after power outage

Most systems OFF due to substation work

PPS Disconnected from ISIS system during Power Outage DSA now officially part of ISIS – but currently chained up Installation & testing of Hall PPS to happen this month

Requires complex process to test all options within PPS for securing and/or dropping each area

Plan to have Hall PPS during EMR Run


Target in R78

Ran T2.7 Able to predict behavior of target

Now running T2.8

At MICE/ISIS target meeting last week agreed:

Present DLC/Vespel design IS suitable for use on ISIS Performance of T2 now sufficiently good for it to be considered a “live

spare” for T1, the target presently on ISIS!!


Next: EMR Running

Another focused data-taking period to test the first installation of the EMR

Production Running - User Run in June/July: Machine physics June 27 - July 3 User Run – July 5 – August 4 Run 5 days/week – M-F 10-12 hours/day (8am-8pm) Personnel needed: MOM, BeamLine Expert, Shift Leader, Shifter

Shift leader has more experience and trains up new person Novices need 1 week training shifts before official shifter

Experts/those doing the study are also there to guide & monitor progress Need to start signing up for Shifts & BLOC duties


EMR Running

Need to prepare for arrival Schedule of arrival Schedule of installation

What equipment needed here? What personnel? Crane work? Cabling? Etc.

Schedule of data-taking What beam, how much, how determine tests done?


Conclusions

Everything is OFF at the moment….

However, it is all ready to come back on – this will take some time, but will hopefully be smoother process than last time!

EMR data-taking will be here soon & We must be ready – come take data again!
