MICE ScheduleCM35

Alan Grant, STFC

Schedule Overview

• Magnetic Field Mitigation is not included in this schedule–Further scheduling required once decision is taken

• Aim is to install Step IV before long ISIS shutdown Aug 2014

• Delivery of Step V & VI driven by resources and budget restrictions in UK and USA

• Commissioning run for each step - no detail as yet

• Aim to field map upstream & downstream spectrometers solenoids in series with approx 1 week time lag

• Schedule includes Public Holidays – RAL closure

Step IV Installation - 1

9

Need to agree and re-schedule EMR final test.

Important to complete installation of AFC & mapping in step IV position before Delivery of Spectrometer Solenoids in late August to free up space.

Some slack but need to watch

AFC parked position TBA

Absorber installation work to be carried out in parked position.

Step IV Installation - 2

10Magnet training

Step IV installation complete 19/5/14

Upstream SS installation directly followed by downstream SS installation.

Upstream SS is pumped and cooled down whilst downstream SS is being installed.

Training of upstream SS only happens when downstream SS is installed.

Upstream SS is parked after mapping to allow tracker installation then downstream SS is mapped.

US team required from Sept thru Jan 14 for installation.

Step IV - Magnet Measurement & Magnet Movements

11

Step V Installation

12 Step V installation complete 26/6/17

RFCC’s module#1 delivery Jan 2017

Delivery of Step V & VI driven by resources and budget restrictions in UK and USA

Run step IV to July 16 then prepare for installation of step V

Step VI Installation

13 Step VI installation complete 17/9/18

Hydrogen System Installation

14

System A installed.

System B & C procurement & installed shifted back to suit budget constraints & MICE schedule

Milestones - 1

15

Milestones allow us to track slippage.

AFC testing in R9 has slipped but not serious at this moment.

AFC module 2 likely to slip. Not serious. Tesla effort directed on completion of module 1

Concern over RF amplifier delivery. Still commissioning and likely to slip. Required to meet TIARA deadline which is to demonstrate RF working system in hall by end Sept 13.
