MICE-UK request for resources• Assumptions:

Require to meet iMICE schedule as defined in proposal

• Implications:Beam and infrastructure:

Make maximum use of long shutdown in 2003/04Target upgrade:

Design, test and commission for installation in shutdown early 2005

Focus pair: Meet design/specification schedule defined in proposal

Tracker: Prepare for tracker decision point and lay foundations to

meet iMICE schedule

MICE-UK request for resources

• Discussions since last JMPB to address resource limitations:Funding:

SR funds not available until financial year 2004/05 CCLRC/PPARC funds that it might be possible to allocate

to MICE project limited to something in the region of £500k or a little more

Manpower: ISIS: beam upgrade project work can not be carried out in

addition to work presently scheduled in 2004 shutdown PPD/University: can not recruit fast enough to fill all posts

requested in document for full financial year

Revised MICE-UK request for 2003/04

• Assumptions: Identify minimum funds required that will:

Begin to put in place teams that can build and sustain a programme with a spend of ~£3,000k in 2004/05

Preserve, as far as possible, iMICE milestone 3 (step 4: running with one absorber)

Protect positions of leadership in:– Focus pair/absorber integration project

– Tracker project

Note: both projects have major milestones at the October collaboration meeting

– iMICE Focus pair/absorber review (chaired by M. Zisman)

– Tracker technology decision point

Revised request 03/04: target upgrade• Requisitions:

Target mechanism not required as soon as foreseen Specification/purchase of cooling system delayed to 2004/05 Tests under vacuum may be deferred to 2004/05

• Staff: Post-doc essential to lead project but can’t recruit by start of financial year Mechanical/electronic design/technical effort required to:

Agree/specify interfaces with ISIS beampipe and jacking frame Carry out initial design and prototyping

Revised request 03/04: focus pair• Focus pair/absorber design/specification w/g to report Oct03

increase time allowed for conceptual design:• Requisitions:

S/w and licenses essential for conceptual design Delay purchase of current-lead components and vacuum eqmnt

• Staff: Oxford-CM design effort delayed to 2004/05 Recruitment delay in Oxford-PP mechanical engineer

Revised request 03/04: tracker

• Build, commission and operate single-station prototype in time for tracker decision point – Oct03

• Requistions: Commission etc in D0 cosmic-ray test stand (in September)

do not require to purchase/commission cryostat in UK Tooling/connectors essential

• Staff: Design effort from IC/Liverpool rolling grant supported staff Post-doc effort essential require continuation of McKigney post-doc position

plus 0.5 post-doc FTE

• Consequence of tracker technology choice: Clear priority to establish scientific, technical and financial case for sci.fi, option Should TPG prove to be preferred, MICE-UK would seek to contribute to

TPG/associated instrumentation at the same level as current bid for UK element of sci.fi. construction, commissioning etc.

Review of iMICE schedules – status report

• 1st iteration withBeam and infrastructureTarget upgradeFocus pair and absorber integrationScintillating fibre tracker

included. Other items included as in iMICE proposal• Contacts with iMICE groups providing pieces of the

iMICE apparatus have been/are being established. Seek to take detailed discussions forward next week at iMICE

collaboration meeting

• Still many open questions – work in progress

Review of iMICE schedules – status report

• Conclusions: Evaluated milestones indicate present schedule for provision of

beam/infrastructure is a reasonable match to delivery of iMICE components

More work required to further refine iMICE schedule and to adjust it to make optimum use of the muon beam from 2006 onwards

Funding profile for MICE programme – status report

• Use schedule for UK MICE deliverables to obtain indicative funding profile under the following assumptions: Staff costed at £80k/year Stretched profile goes beyond 2007/08: analysis may go on into 2009 Differences from last time and proposal … Paul can we discuss?
