1. CENF meeting 5 th February 2014

2. STATUS CE engineering contract running : – phase 1 : tender drawings – phase 2 : execution drawings – Phase 3 (option) : execution supervision – EHN1 extension: targeting main contract for September FC – EHN1 Specs almost ready : see Ilias presentation!! – Target and primary beam, technical documents for end May 2014 – If we want to go in the Sept FC we need in March to have it inside the MTP. Still not clear to me the experiments requests! – GS Engineer in charge : N.Lopez + M. Manfredi – If granted it can be constructed by mid Nov 2015, using the down period up to June 2015to avoid interference with the beam

3. MOU General frame MOU passed the lawyers threshold: – See: https://edms.cern.ch/document/1353815/1https://edms.cern.ch/document/1353815/1 WA104 MOU in preparation: waiting for an updated version from WA104: covers T600 and T150 WA105 MOU in preparation: waiting for a new version from WA105 : covers baby MIND, small and large prototype of LAGUNA, including b182 upgrade Waiting for the next step from the experiments. No initial money flowing from CERN before a final version is circulating and is agreed. Signatures might then come in time!

4. Secondary beam Well advance – See M.Calviani presentation !! – First meeting with LBNE/FNAL yesterday – We need now to plan the sequence of R&D work – Specs for CE expected for May 2014

5. Primary beam No new work done – No support anymore from BE/TE !! – Rende Steerenberg : some minimal spec for CE – I see accelerator management the 24 th and I will ask what they plan there. I suspect nothing! – Specs for CE expected for May 2014 – We need a write up from the work done at LAL!

6. Safety and environmental studies See S.Hutchins presentation for the safety files No news from the environmental documents (why?)

7. WA104 Making plans fro transport of T600 – first containers can arrive early March with cryo material, need to find a place for storing the critical material – we have offers for the transport tools (large containers), we are still missing the final spec and a small review before placing the order – CERN is preparing the specs for the tendering of the 2 large transports – Schedule: first transport June 2014, second September 2014

8. WA104 PH is making plans for empting the hall 185 + attached lab – last news were for getting the whole in April – I protested and we are waiting for a new schedule F.Noto and D.Macina are ready to start the engineering of the bldg. modification and clean room. We are waiting for a proper set of requirements for this work from the ICARUS experts (final dimensions, clean room specs, sequence of operation, …) We might need to modify the main door position We have do redo the epoxy floor

9. WA104 WA104 is making plans to move on the booster beam of FNAL after the T600 is rebuilt at CERN WA104 work request for T150 not yet clear to us, we are waiting for clear instructions in particular on the requirements for the EHN1 extension For me the critical path is on the construction of the 2 cold vessels … specs not yet final and tendering not done yet. This procurement will define the entire schedule of T600!

10. WA104 We have started looking at the request of putting the T600 and T150 inside a solenoidal field (~0.8T) We have a concept ready to be discussed with the experiments, we wait for instructions.

11. WA104 We have at the moment no urgent requirements from NESSiE for a particular work We need to discuss further

12. WA105 We got the requirements for a new cleanroom in b182 for the 1x1x3 prototype. We started working on the engineering of it! We have requirements for the rest of the logistics and infrastructure in bldg. 182. We will act on it soon We need to make correct links to the work to be done for cryostats and cryogenics with WA105 experts (will happen soon, after some internal clarifications inside CERN)

13. Baby MIND We go a request for a contribution from CERN to their construction work for Iron, power cables and electronics assemblies. We will get specs soon

14. LAr1-ND We agreed to be part of this proposal for developing a new small LAr TPC for a FNAL booster experiment. The goal is reciprocity in the R&D phase such to start an effective collaboration with the US We are discussing on how we can contribute LAr1 people at CERN the 16 th and 17 th February
