LHCb comprehensive review, Paula Collins Vacuum tests Leak rate between beam and detector volumes: 2.4x10-5 mbar.l/s @ 1.6 mbar He A lot worse than measured for the bare boxes at NIKHEF, before transport, NEG coating, and installation “Leaks” located at specific corners. For venting, evacuation, and normal operation, this size of leak poses no problem vented mode Beam mode Ne Primary vacuum Ne secondary vacuum 30th January 2007 LHCb comprehensive review, Paula Collins

LHCb comprehensive review, Paula Collins Vacuum tests (continued) The moment when this leak is not desirable is during the insertion of the module bases with the silicon modules on. This is (hopefully) a one-time operation for each half. At this stage, the detector volume is vented to atmosphere, the primary volume filled with ultra pure Neon, and there is a risk to saturate the NEGS. Estimated time for this to happen approx 1 day – equal to time needed for insertion. The first bakeout of the RF boxes + beampipe, which happens before detector installation, can go ahead as planned After this, a repeat bakeout of the beam pipe would be needed – implications for LHCb (dismount RICH1 mirrors) More investigations scheduled (bake-out test, varnish?) scheduled for 2nd week March. 2nd bakeout will probably not be needed for 2007 30th January 2007 LHCb comprehensive review, Paula Collins

Sensor mass: 10g One mono-axial accelerometer on the extremity of the dummy VELO module Shocklog on the base frame Continuous online monitoring The shocks did not exceed 0.1g below 200Hz The natural resonance frequency of the module is excited particularly during crane operations One conclusion was to do a “test sink” and installation of a VELO half in the pit, before modules are mounted Dummy VELO Module.
