2. Agenda Summary Update – Current Activities – Updates (Tom Kubicki) – Additional Meetings/Notes

3. Updates Linac – SBK: Work at CPI continues – discussing testing items/location at CPI – no formal agreement yet. – LN: In situ testing of laser notching complete for now – removed. – Modulator: Have made progress in overcurrent protection/testing, 27 cell buildup continues – Utilities: completed – task closed (or being closed?) Booster – Beam Studies: Cogging: Studies continue – Kiyomi has tried using new system in operations: cleaning up jitter Booster optics software – Performed more Beta corrections last week – eff. ~90% Booster Longitudinal dampers – working on ACNET software to allow tuning of phases Booster BPMs – Peter taking data and working on hardware – – RF: Refurbished cavity work: Another cavity to be installed next Wed. (on test stand) The cavity on mill – being completed New Tuners – TD expects to have a tuner in next week…slow progress but steady labor Bias Supplies: Supply # 4 done and put into service yesterday – Supply # 5 in test stand Anode Supplies: Plan is to have one done by end of month – 2 nd supply being stuffed Perpendicular cavity: Regular meetings, progressing on cooling design and ferrite testing Stations 20, 21 & 22: starting to ramp up activity on 20 th upstairs – next slide for details Rework of cavities 21 & 22: Need to put together plan – looking at options/floor space – Contract for Ray Tomlin to assist with 21 & 22 upstairs planning New cavities: Dialogue with management still ongoing – working on design details – Shielding: TLMs functioning in tunnel and gathering info – plans for modifications next shutdown – Transformer: Waiting for shutdown – Absorber/Kicker: Completed for now – working on optimizing positions/reduction of losses

4. Shutdown

5. Recent PIP Budget/News FY15 Budget: New PIP budget profile provided by Sergei (DOE/Lab approved) PIP working on RLS and making Task allocations corrections Update of RLS – Some Booster items remain – Mostly cavities related Meetings to discuss transition PIP to PIP-II continue…. DOE REVIEW of PIP Waiting for official document PAC/Dir – noted how well cavity refurbishment is going Sergei and the rest of the lab seem to be focusing on 15 Hz before the shutdown – Top priority is Booster 15 Hz operation – Ann and company are going through dept. budgets PIP PMG – probably March 5th

6. Upcoming Talks Status updates: – Bias Supplies – Pat – 15 Hz East gallery – John – Laser Notcher – Dave – New Tuner (TD/Matt) – maybe next week? Salah Chaurize – Notch system operations Keith/Tony – TLM install and operations Nathan Eddy / Alexei Semenov - Longitudinal Dampers New Cavities(plans) Collimator – Status and plans (V. Kapin) Install of Cavity 21 and 22 (plans)

7. Solid State Driver: All equipment for BRF20 has been built, and has been installed in BRF12's old SSD Rack. It has been upgraded so that it has modern BRF equipment and modules in it (i.e. 1kW SSD Amps, LLRF Chassis, etc.). Cables internal to the SSD rack are currently being fabricated, but we could always use a helping hand regarding this so if there's any available electrical techs to assist that would be great. All four 4kW 4-way combiners have been ordered and tested, all have checked out OK after the original 4 units had to be returned to Werlatone due to poor quality Type N connectors. Modulator: There is a spare BRF modulator at MI-60 that will be re-used for this. FBS: This should not be a hold up in bringing the station online after the shutdown, but I think we'd have to use the one in the test stand out at MI-60 while the other supplies are being built. During the next shutdown, the RF group will double check the measurements of the length of the buss bar needed for the tunnel. Once this is done, the buss bar will be ordered. Lead times should not be a problem with acquiring buss for this. Installing the buss bar will require the help of many people to get it down into the tunnel, positioning it, and clamping it in place. RF group will coordinate this if we need the extra labor. RMU Rack: RF group needs to make a decision (in consultation with Kucera) on whether to re-use TRF8's old RMU Rack and equipment or if we're going to go with a present version to the IRM. Either way, there doesn't seem to be any reason the relay rack couldn't be re- purposed for this. (21 and 22 will probably be different – HRM 10 KHz)

8. Cables for RF station: Some of the cables still need to be ordered (Okonite, locomotive cable, miscellaneous standard RG 58 cables, etc.) or found around the lab. The one cable we don't need is 1/2" Heliax, as this has been ordered and received. The RF group will fabricate the cable bundle needed from the gallery to the tunnel so electricians can install this early on during the summer shutdown. Cavity: (not needed by shutdown….) Matt or John may be able to comment on this one. Utilities: Water guys are aware of work that needs to be done and will begin ordering parts. They can install equipment during normal running, so this should give them plenty of time to get all the plumbing ready. Dave Hixson feels the East LCW system is in better shape than the West in terms of a new stations impact to the flow and/or pressure (via correspondence from 12/19/14). Ranson to discuss what equipment we need to purchase and to give him all of our utility requirements for BRF20. He will then be able to allocate the necessary labor for all the electrical work. This also includes the HV cable from the EAPS down to BRF 20. This work cannot proceed until the shutdown or some other major downtime. Removal of any obstructive corrector element P.S relay racks will need to begin as soon as the shutdown commences. It doesn't take too long (a few days maybe) to wire up everything once all our equipment is in place. Obviously, penetrations need to be opened for the big cable pulls, so I'll work with Todd Sullivan on what we need. Upgrades to some of the RF Fanback boxes used in the RCCE and MCR will have to be done to accommodate BRF20.
