20. Removal of FMD2 box ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro Present situation Situation without the box. The blue cable tray should stay in place Cable ends 2/12/1120

21. Removal of FMD2 box Who: Borge What: The cables from the detector are disconnected and secured. The box and the patch panels are unscrewed and dismounted. Then the patch-panel and the cables should be moved aside and secured. Uncertain where to put the cable bundle and patch panels – very stiff bundle. When: 8 th December morning ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro 2/12/1121

22. Removal of SSD-SPD boxes ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro Present situation. The plate restricts the TPC access SSD box SPD box Situation without the SSD box Situation without the SSD and SPD boxes. Now the plate can be easily removed Plate 2/12/1122

23. Removal of SSD-SPD boxes Who: –SSD: Ton –SPD: Michel Morel What: –The SPD box is removed from the MNF. The only risk is to damage the fibers. –The SSD box is also removed from the MNF, and the cable trays from PP1 should be opened. The box cannot be taken away, therefore the cable from the detector + box will be displaced and attached to the beampipe table for some days –The plate is easily removable (4 screws), and this will be done by Yannick or Pieter ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro 2/12/1123

24. Removal of V0-FMD1 Who: Yannick, Pieter, Werner and Borge What: disconnection and displacement of V0-FMD1. The detector will be parked inside the MNF for some days. The removal is a complex but known operation. The main risks for the equipment are related to the beampipe and the naked silicon sensors of FMD1. Both will need temporary protection once the detector is moved out, ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro 2/12/1124

25. Schedule Week 49: –Thu 8/12: displace FMD2 box. The box can be reinstalled anytime (at latest in week 5) –TPC A-14/15 (4 days anytime) Week 3: move PMD to parking position (see next slide) Week 4: –Mon 23/1 AM: disconnect and displace SPD box –Mon 23/1 PM: disconnect and displace SSD box –Tue-Fri: TPC A-11/12 (4 days) –Sat: put back and test SSD box Week 5: –Mon 30/1: put back and test SPD box –Tue: move V0-FMD1 to parking position (PMD already in parking position) –Wed-Fri: TPC A-13 (2 1/2 days) –Fri-Sat: move back and test V0-FMD1 Week 6: –Mon 6/2: survey of V0-FMD1 ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro 2/12/1125

27. TPC laser Annual laser maintenance, 1-2 days. Needs normal power and cooling Open mirror box below TPC sector A13 (bottom below TPC endplate) and possibly replace camera or mirror. 1-2 days. I want to do this because a weak picture from this mirror/camera makes C- side alignment difficult. Best done with L3 doors open. I believe access between the TOF and TPC should be OK. I need to be able to run the laser, so we need to mount the long laser pipe temporarily after opening of L3 doors. 2/12/11ALICE 2011-12 winter shutdown schedule - A.Tauro 27
