UK-US Project teams working on expedited scenario

Recent progress

• Commissioning Plan proposed by MAP has been accepted by Magnet task force, led by Jaroslaw

• USS training in the morning• DSS training in the afternoon• Re-cool overnight and stabilise

• Bring all magnets up together• Day for AFC to re-cool

• Partial Return Yoke• Purchase order for the JFE iron is out.• South side materials milestone mid August• Purchase orders for the lower sections, in to trench, are out.• Some materials are on site

• Lithium Hydride Absorber• Transfer of ownership • Top level STFC approval letter required

• Magnet power break out box• Proposal by the Electrical group to have power break out boxes• All mode changes can be made at these positions• A meeting to discuss will be organised by Andy N

Recent progress

• Step V cost and schedule• Discussions next week during the MAP collaboration meeting• Gain an expedited schedule, cost profile and risk transfer document• This is a RLSR recommendation

• Assumptions document• Preparation will continue• To define who owns or is responsible for areas of the experiment, eg spares for

detectors, operational gasses / cryogens……

• MTA testing• There will be a team from the UK attending the RF workshop at Fermi Lab• While there they will help and take part in the MTA testing

• Focus Coil• Mapping equipment is at RAL, arrangements underway for mapping.

• FC#1 will be used in Step IV (Unless FC#2 sufficiently outperforms FC#1 and it can be installed to the experiment without disrupting or extending the current schedule for the construction of Step IV.

• FC#1 will be mapped in Flip mode (current mode) and then in Solenoid mode• If required, FC#1 will be re-trained in Flip mode and will be the first mode used

in the experiment
