02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN3 Gas pipes installation schedule Pipes arrived in cleaning workshop yesterday Cleaning should be finished next week A CERN Gas Group technician, specialized in gas pipes welding, will perform the work together with the INFN technician. We agreed the suggestion to use 10mm pipes for exhaust: we borrow them from CERN gas group We have to discuss the installation of a forth line After agreement with SPS people (to avoid overlaps with magnet test) the installation can take place from 23rd to 27th of March It should takes 2-3 days of work. The welder technician support will cost up to 2000 CHF (depending on the time necessary for work)
02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN4 Required gas lines Gas lines required for June: 1)Micromegas tracker (Ar/CO2/CF4/isobutane mixture): a 4 gas mixing system or an interchangeable set of premixed bottles 2)CERN GDD group (fixed Ar/CO2 70/30): A premixed bottle is ok, but equipping the line with a mixing system would be better.. 3)LNF group (Ar/CO2/He/isobuthane mixture): this MUST be a 4 gas mixing system because they plan gas studies Lines required for October: 1)Micromegas tracker again 2)CERN GDD group again 3)Bonn group (Ar/CO2/methane.. fixed mixture?). Premixed bottle? 4)Saclay group (fixed Ar/CF4/isobuthane mixture). Premixed bottle? Can they run with the same line of MM tracker?
02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN5 Cables (barrack area) Cables required for June: 1)Trigger PMTs: no HV, few BNC lines for checks in control room 2)Micromegas tracker: just a fiber line for DAQ; HV? Ask Yorgos.. 3)CERN GDD: 2 HV lines. Share DAQ with MM tracker – OR – additional stuff to be clarified if another DAQ is used 4)LNF group: just an ethernet cable for DAQ. HV? Ask Danilo.. Lines required for October: 1)Trigger PMTs again 2)Micromegas tracker again 3)CERN GDD again 4)Bonn group: 20kV line? For DAQ? Ask Jochen.. 5)Saclay group: one 8kV line and another 3kV line? For DAQ? Ask Paul..
02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN6 Cable lenght My proposal is to do cables long enough to arrive after the magnet: cable cost is usually due to connectors and not cable itself more flexibility to use the cable in different places in the area Barracks Goliath magnet About 12m additional lenght
02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN7 Gas panel position My proposal is that all gas pipes arrive in a panel on the wall in a “strategic” position in the experimental area we have to fix asap the place for the setup outside magnet, upstream or downstream of it.. Barracks Goliath magnet About 12m additional lenght

02/03/2009M. Alfonsi - CERN9 Conclusions Gas pipes installation on 23-27/03 gas panel position must be fixed decision on 4 th gas line Need more information for October
