18 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 18 Parameters of the magnet: -Angular aperture +/- 80 mrad horizontally and vertically -Transparency to neutrons & to transport of 1 GeV proton with HI -Free space of 1 m around the target, for detectors -Vacuum connection between the beam pipe and the cryostat -Thermal screen and thick inner vacuum vessel -Thick cold casing around the coils to deal with the magnetic forces New geometry after optimisation: -Distance from the target to the magnet entrance = 1.450 m, -A horizontal angle of the beam direction w.r.to the magnet axis = 14˚ -Vertical and horizontal angles of the coils = 5° & 18.6° The fringe field around the target needs to be checked ( < 20 mT ?) Magnet acceptance re-definition / optimisation

19 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 19 Magnetic design -Status: The peak-field decreased from 7.5 T to 6.35 T, the same value in main coils and in lateral coils. This allows in the same time the temperature stability margin to increase from 1 K up to 1.5 K  Trying to suppress the spacers for simplicity & cost  Trying to reduce the current density by increasing the length of the coils -Recommendation: The field sensitivity to coil deformations, movements or misalignments should be quantified to set the requirements for the further mechanical studies. 4 th of July, 2006 - Technical Design Review

20 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 20 Conductor studies Status: Completed Recommendation: Our idea is confirmed, the Rutherford cable design provides sufficient stiffness & is preferable, due to a reduced number of joints Winding & cold mass integration Status: General concept defined with further studies on the coil precompression and the casing tolerances Recommendation: Test specimens necessary to confirm the final design, as this point is a critical issue (e.g. to ensure quench-back) Mechanical studies - Coil casing Status: Use of arches to reduce the coil deformation to less than 1 mm ; 3D computation of the mechanical behaviour Recommendation: OK, to be further explored 4 th of July, 2006 - Technical Design Review

21 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 21 Mechanical studies - Cryostat & Integration 2 Status: Conical vessel design accepted (cost to be considered); the stiffness of the inner vessel has been studied within the space constraints Recommendation: The choice between 1 or 3 supports is to be decided in the detailed design Electrical circuit: Protection study & Power system Status: Conventional design of external dump resistor studied; Quench-back effect is important to keep peak temperatures down, ensuring the thermal contact between coil and casing is crucial Recommendation: Quench calculations with less or even no quench-back should be studied 4 th of July, 2006 - Technical Design Review

22 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 22 Cryogenics Status: The cryogenic system based on thermo-siphon is well advanced and accepted by the committee Recommendation: The concept is accepted; a more accurate analysis should be performed that include frictional losses & the possibility of vapour pocket formation in near horizontal branches Instrumentation & Control Status: Well advanced Recommendation: Ensure a correct interface with FAIR and R 3 B Assembly, test and Installation Recommendation: Interfaces with GSI should be further studied (incl. transport and moving requirements) 4 th of July, 2006 - Technical Design Review

24 CEA DSM Dapnia Reaction mechanisms in the GeV range - Jean-Eric Ducret - C.S.T. SPhN meeting9th of October, 2006 24 Delays in the work plan Main sources of delay –In Saclay, the real start of the project was delayed (because of the difficulty of constituting a new team; as a lot of people were working on other tasks when the R 3 B approval decision has been known: + 3 months, up to + 4 months for mechanics)  Real start at Saclay : 2006 – Q1 –The final assembly time was underestimated and will be increased by 7 months: + 5 months before test at Saclay + 4 months before test at GSI - 2 months (duration of the final test at GSI reduced) (Reason: Initially, the final assembly, mainly of vacuum, cryogenic or electric connections, was regarded as “preparation of the tests”. After a detailed task analysis, it appears that it was not possible to put these tasks either in parallel with integration 2, or included in the test duration. But they should be placed between) Total estimated delay: 3 + 7 months  Planned date for delivery: 2010 – Q2
