15. ITS SPD: –Drill 5 filters (SR0-1-2-3-8) –Minor interventions on the FEE cards –Cooling: reuse old inlet pipes, recalibrate T-P sensors, remove sub-cooling –Items under discussion: replace pump in cooling plant SDD: –Replace ISEG boards (HV drift problem). Improve cooling in CR4 racks (to be studied) –Install SuperCarlosRX cards  need DAQ for testing –Cooling: replace plastic pipes of plant manifold (tbc), replace 10 P and T sensors and 5 P regulators SSD: –CAEN LVPS modification (decrease CM)  Ship 120 PSs (Easy) to CAEN, in batches of 20-30/month, as from beginning of LS1. Test everything (including cooling plant) as soon as all cards are back (September?) –Cooling: remove heaters and put plant under UPS (6kW), check safety valves and remove teflon tape. Calibration P sensors. Try to keep the plant running as much as possible. 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro15

16. TPC FEE consolidation. –Replace FECs. The A-side work on A-11 and A-12 requires to remove the SSD and SPD boxes (as we already did in the past). –Install and commission redundant ethernet system HV consolidation: –Maintenance Read Out Chambers –Possibly inspection of containment volumes in field cage Interventions on RR and FEE cooling plants Gas. New CO 2 analyser and gas chromatograph, drift velocity monitor consolidation 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro16

17. TRD SM production: –All electronics will be produced by end 2012 –Plan to produce 5 SM in LS1 –Preferred installation scenario: 3 bottom modules in 2013 and 2 top later. This would allow to install the last 2 (SM4 and SM5) in a winter technical stop in case they are not in time for LS1 New tank water cooling plant Gas: cryogenic recovery/cleaning at start of LS1  store Xe –Operate the detector for most of LS1 with Ar-CO2 (70-30) –Refill with Xe at some point in 2014 –Find better CO2 analyzer, new gas chromatograph (TRD-TPC) 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro17

18. TRD HV & LV rework TRD HV & LV rework: –Take out TRD17 for HV repair in Muenster –Rework of LV distribution for 7 sectors (17-10-11-7-8-15-16) Schedule: –wk 14 (i.e. beginning April): P2 crew prepares yellow-platform for TRD17 extraction. –wk 15, starting from Monday 8th April: removal of TRD17. –wks 16-19: rework LV for sectors 7-8-10 and 11. –wks 41-43: reinstall TRD17 and rework LV for sectors 15-16. Definitely a huge enterprise ! Transport, P2 technicians, survey people and TRD crew Installation sequence (yellow-platform, blocks,…) looked at CAD –No conflicts with miniframe services so far… TRD17 reinstalled before bottom modules installation (e.g. November) 14/2/13 ALICE TBUpdate on LS1 plans - A.Tauro18 In parallel to L3 services modification for DCal

19. TOF Transfer TOF crates to space frame: still technical discussions – decision hopefully next week. Load transfer should be done already in March (e.g. before TRD work). Cooling: equalization of the flow across the different SMs Full replacement of all CAEN DC-DC converters (A1396A): Replacement of faulty DRMs, TRMs and LTMs. –Need to displace SR0-1-4-5-6-7-8-9-14-15 (tbc) by ~1m –Profit to replace DC-DC converters –September 2013 (2 weeks) TBC Improving of the ground connections. Intervention (eventually) on the cooling system, at the crate level, for two very hot crates in sector 08. 8/2/13LS1 planning meeting - A.Tauro19

20. PHOS During LS1 the detector will undergo several repairs (b.167): –Fix problematic RCUs and TRUs –Test and replace faulty FEE (implies access to warm region) –APD/preamp are inside the cold area, will not be inspected, This would require extracting strip units from the crystal matrix and then mounting them back A new PHOS module (M1) will be assembled and installed in 2014 (2’000 crystals) Crystal cooling plant replaced with more powerful one. 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro20

21. EMCal Install new readout system – will take one month (March 2013) 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro21

22. ZDC Problems with the vertical displacement system of the ZP calorimeter platform, observed in the last two Pb-Pb runs. Mechanical improvement of the platform –1-2 months intervention around March 2013: take out the 2 platforms, bring them to the surface (location to be defined), modify and re-install them. 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro22 PMD Currently in Super-safe. Re-start operation around end of the year LS1 work: –Detector disconnected and brought on the surface –? Displace ELMD and LVDBs in order to improve air flow –Crocus cables to be properly routed and supported (cut at same length) –Improve crocus crate movement system

23. V0A & FMD V0: we still have to decide whether we should extract V0-A. To be decided whether to take out FMD1 (leaks in cooling system). 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro23

24. Muons Muon TRK: –Occupancy problem: repair slats (busbar connections): 90 slats to be repaired Will take ~10 months in 2013 (DAQ, DCS and gas needed) –Replace one quadrant ST2 Muon TRG: –Ordinary FEE and gas tightness maintenance –Replacement of a few RPCs, if needed –Full campaign of survey and photogrammetry –Gas system modification to re-circulate freon (under discussion) 6/9/12ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro24
