End Cap ToroidsEnd Cap Toroids

Vacuum Vessels

(Schelde Exotech)

First Vessel: Assembly in progress to CERN: fall 2001 (6 months delay)

Second Vessel: Machining in progress to CERN: spring 2002 (on time)

Coil Winding

(HMA power systems)

Conductor delivery problematic; other materials & tools in place

Company claims cost overruns

Alignment

Key issue: RASNIK 3-point monitorStatus: Sensors delivered to MDT sites; DAQ prototypedOutstanding: Radiation tolerance of the multiplexers (first test: ok!)Difficulties: Cost (mechanics!) & lens quality (finally understood!)

Many other interested parties

Detector control (NIKHEF/CERN R&D collaboration)

Key issue: Modular: CAN CPU with many sensor types precise Hall B-sensors; cheap T-sensors, …Status: Being delivered to MDT sitesOutstanding: Radiation tolerance of the CAN CPUs

ATLAS efforts on realization of CORE commitments

(We realize our participation in ATLAS physics studies is not in line with our ambition ………)

Muon SpectrometerEnd cap Toroids

Vacuum vessels: progressing well (minor delays)Coil winding: company claims cost overruns

MDT chamber construction:R&D basically completed (and it took a lot of time)Huge “serial” production effort in 2001-2005

Alignment, Detector Control & MDT Read-Out DriversCompleted or near completionPoint of concern: radiation tolerance

Silicon Tracker: Design closure urgently required (else we get squeezed)Significant assembly & test effort in 2002-2003/4

Trigger & DAQ:Many R&D contributions; synergy with MDT-Read-Out Driver project
