Work List After that, wind 2 nd mandrel, then ………….. Prep with strips & braze coils and inner hub/shafts to mandrels (2 of 2 done) Machine assembly round & concentric to axis at diameter to accept Glidcop jaws Machine & Cu plate Glidcop jaws Prep and braze jaws to mandrels (2 nd done 8-Apr-13) Machine facets, end features (2 nd done 28-May-13) Install RF bearing housing Install shaft support bearings and rotation drives Test prior to installation in vacuum system Prep existing vacuum base plate to receive new collimators Mount, align & test Decide details of how vacuum cover will be attached to vacuum base plate & machine appropriately Mate cover & baseplate Test rotation after welding, pre and post vacuum Vacuum bakeout Test after bakeout Ship Begin 3-June-2-13 SLAC SLAC? LHC Collimation WG Mtg - 14 Oct 2013LARP RC Status - T. MarkiewiczSlide n° 19 / 20

At SLAC Clamp vacuum cover in place, attach foils & test rotate 1 facet Weld cover, vacuum test all welds & CuSil joints Final full facet test rotation in vacuum Solder metric water fittings, pressure test then dry & leak test tubes again Immobilize jaws & ship (in 2 weeks time?) At CERN Decide whether to open vacuum seal or not Off beam tests: Function, metrology, impedance, vacuum Bakeout (???) SPS tests (???)
