1 Paul Drumm 25 March 2004 MICE at Project Report CERN Collaboration Meeting 29 March 2004

2 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 2 Purpose of this talk Achievements Issues - not a MICE Review –Technical Issues –People Issues –Money & Schedule Issues What we need to achieve this week

3 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 3 Achievements Absorber Review –Significant – doing this right! –Considerable Effort Collaboratively successful US/UK/JP –Result - Highly Successful –Must not lose sight of Safety Issues Gateway Review (UK) –Survived! another hurdle to come ~ Oct? US Funding Review (mid-May)

4 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 4 Achievements… Tracker decision @ RAL –Yet to be concluded with final reports –Results in line with expectation New Collaborators from Daresbury –Expertise + Facilities (no extra cash) Technical Progress Since last October…

5 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 5 Technical Board Chair: –Drumm Cooling channel: –Zisman Detectors: –Bross –Palladino Simulation/Software: –Torun Integration: –Ivanyushenkov (secretary) –Black Safety: –Baynham Ex officio: –Kaplan –Blondel 7 meetings (1 abortive) Every two weeks by phone Agenda & Minutes: http://www.eng-external.rl.ac.uk/MICE-GEN/ “The Technical Board oversees all aspects of the experiment and infrastructure design, time schedules, construction, cost, installation and computing matters. It serves as an advisory body for the Executive Board.” It will identify issues; It should not try to solve problems during the phone meetings but delegate to the experts and later discuss their conclusions; It will manage the change process;  Action List Meet every 4 weeks after collaboration meeting Suggest this for Integration and Executive Boards too!

6 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 6 Issues Raised Magnets –encouraged MG/PF/EB discussions –stay clear & optical configuration Cryo-cooler option –discussed; assessed; agreed to consider; –Will be a big issue at this meeting… Cooling Channel –No obvious big issues; is Hydride Bed a risk? Detectors –Shielding needs – exercised change control Integration Issues –Integration group – EB, PD, MZ, ABr, YI Help separate integration from “local” issues Alignment and Survey Methods –Discussions between physics and engineering Noted Issues of control, instrumentation and monitoring

7 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 7 Magnets & Magnetic Fields Issues being examined: –Coils –Currents –Forces –Shielding - detectors/people –Thrown into turmoil (blame Mike Green!) Not time to react to this situation…

8 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 8 Cooling Channel AFC –Schedule –WBS, Costs Interfaces –AFC – Cavity Module - RF –Hydrogen - AFC – Tracker …cryocoolers…

9 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 9 Cryocoolers Issues are –Central plant: Infrastructure cost £2M (loaded) Absolute cost! Devastates cash flow! Bulk of cooling is in the transfer lines –Cryocoolers: Part of equipment: £0.75M (loaded) Compact, distributed, scaleable Lower power consumption – less plant Cooldown is long (unless) – supplement cooling power with LN2 –Meeting of magnet designers No decent; encouraged; Need to look at Absorber cooling –VLPC cryostat benefits Cryocoolers appropriate for 8K Issue to be raised at Collaboration meeting –Introduce concepts –Get general approval for this as the new cryogenic baseline

10 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 10 Detectors ToF –best placement Cherenkov –US –DS Calorimeter Tracker – SiFi –Interfaces; –Beam diffuser

11 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 11 Integration Consider Details: –Trivia – 220 V, 50Hz –Pumps – can we standardise? –Installation Plan –Survey & Alignment Systems –Serious (e.g.) vacuum chamber = pressure vessel Design reviews…

12 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 12 Layout Best use of space in hall / roof –Work in progress… X-ray shielding – access – equipment – people

13 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 13 RF Issues Clearly this is more in the air than any other part of MICE : –How to provide 8 MW? including drivers, low level RF HT supplies, controls –How to configure ? –How much will it cost ? and –Who has the funds?

14 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 14 Alignment What does MICE need? –Bravar et al… Typical engineering standards? –Lau… Typical setup alignment? –Yury…

15 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 15 WBS Is available on the web –http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/summary98.mpphttp://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/summary98.mpp –http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice_wbs.htmlhttp://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice_wbs.html –http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice_app.htmlhttp://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice_app.html and a summary of costs: –http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice.xlshttp://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/wbs/98/mice.xls –All dated this Sunday morning…

16 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 16 Milestones & Phases 2004: –ISIS Shutdown no longer on critical path because of delays in funding… “comfortable” Implies focus for RAL/UK activities LBNL 2002 Aspirations

17 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 17 WBS

18 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 18 Unordered Events Critical Tentative Assessment – Needs Discussion & Evaluation During this Collaboration Meeting

19 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 19 Ordered Milestones Tentative Assessment – Needs Discussion & Evaluation During this Collaboration Meeting

20 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 20 Costs… Tentative Assessment – Needs Discussion & Evaluation During this Collaboration Meeting

21 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 21 WBS Caveats: –Schedule depends on funds! –Includes no levelling in either staff or capital –As long as we cut into ISIS this April/May; the beam line should not in itself become a critical task

22 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 22 Importance of WBS Apart from justifying costs… –The basis of MICE planning –The analysis is the basis of you knowing that your resources are sufficient –How do we measure progress? –Information has to come from the collaboration

23 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 23 Technical Reference Exercise As far as it got: http://www.isis.rl.ac.uk/accelerator/mice/tr/mice_tech_ref.html Control, Instrumentation, Monitoring Data Acquisition

24 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 24 Collaboration Meeting Tech Reference is not complete: –To review what is presented; (clearly some late changes – magnets) –To identify what is missing and who is charged to prepare it; –To identify what is agreed (or not) as the baseline

25 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 25 What Else is Missing? Controls, Instrumentation & Monitoring Data Acquisition Detailed WBS & Cost review Money!

26 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 26 What Next? Important that each parallel session –Considers its input to the Tech. Ref. –What information is missing and who should generate it –Does the information represent the consensus view of MICE? –As a whole Does it hang together?

27 Paul Drumm 03 Mar 2004 27 Executive board Review of base line by Executive Board –Actions for next collaboration meeting –Hopefully an easier task I’d like to thank everyone for all the hard work …
