5. LBNL - 5 -- 5 - Current Progress (1 st magnet) The first magnet (designated SS#2) has been successfully trained to full flip and solenoid mode currents Current was maintained at full flip mode for a period of 24 hours with no quench All five power supplies were used at various ramp rates and under computer control Numerous improvements and fixes implemented on control and power supply systems Improved cold mass heater control loop worked well Cold mass is being held at 4K and full of LHe in preparation for upcoming 3D magnetic mapping

10. LBNL - 10 - 2 nd Magnet Progress

11. LBNL - 11 - Control System Upgrade A control system review was held at LBNL on December 11 th and 12 th, 2012 The LBNL/MICE team developed improvements from the numerous review panel recommendations The current system is more robust and capable of protecting the magnet from potential failures A secondary goal of the upgrade was to move closer to the final system to be operated in the MICE hall

12. LBNL - 12 - Control System Upgrade Several of the primary upgrades: Stand alone PID controller for the cold mass heater circuit with current monitor Alarm handler to the control software Gas bottle backup system prevents negative cold mass pressure; improved durability of PRV’s New current shunts directly measure the current in each coil

13. LBNL - 13 - Power Supplies and Control Power Supplies New 500 A supply for center and end coils 5 supplies fully integrated System verified during recent training runs Control rack Many upgrades installed New heater control loop UPS added

14. LBNL - 14 - Upcoming Tasks 3D magnetic bore mapping of first unit using CERN developed system to begin later in May with iron shielding disk in place Second unit assembly to be completed in next two to three weeks After vacuum pumpout of 2 nd magnet, cooldown and training to start in June Shipping of fully commissioned magnets to RAL planned for July and September

15. LBNL - 15 - Risks and Mitigation SS controls operational readiness certification Lack of a complete, fully operational and integrated control system led to previous system failures Some risk remains as the final system to be implemented at RAL is still being developed Mitigation: numerous upgrades have been implemented and testing during SS#2 training; additional improvements are under way, and the system will be tested during SS#2 mapping and SS#1 training/mapping

16. LBNL - 16 - Risks and Mitigation (cont’d) SS#2 re-train and re-test Addition of the iron shield for mapping will alter the coil forces and possibly lead to the need for some re-training Magnet has always required re-training after warm-up and subsequent cool-down Mitigation: The cold mass has been maintained at 4K since the completion of the training runs, avoiding any re-training due to thermal expansion/contraction The forces due to the shield are only a fraction of the nominal inter-coil forces The training procedure is well established

17. LBNL - 17 - Risks and Mitigation (cont’d) SS#2 operational failure with iron shield Some risk presented as iron shield has never been fitted to the vacuum vessel, and magnet has never been operated with the shield in place Mitigation: Iron shield supports designed with conservative safety factors and adequate adjustment capability; fast turnaround modifications possible using Wang NMR and/or LBNL shop Magnetic forces on cold mass supports are only a fraction of the calculated loads present during operation with other MICE magnets in place; cold mass supports designed and load tested 10% beyond operational requirements

18. LBNL - 18 - Risks and Mitigation (cont’d) SS#1 train and test SS#1 represents a newly modified and assembled system that has never been tested in this configuration Risk areas include: coil windings, cold leads, HTS lead connections, heat leaks, other mechanical systems Mitigation: The SS#1 cold mass has been previously trained to ~200 A The design and as-built configuration of SS#1 is identical to that of SS#2 The same technician crew that assembled SS#2 is also working on completing SS#1

19. LBNL - 19 - Risks and Mitigation (cont’d) SS#1 operational failure with iron shield The risks and mitigation are the same as those for SS#2 All training and testing of SS#1 will likely be carried out with the shield in place
