The RFQ is conditioned to about 95% of the nominal power, with 50us pulses. There is still conditioning to be completed before the beam can be passed, so there will be some time needed for this before the beam tests can begin. Nevertheless, to allow to fix any other issues that can arise the RFQ move will begin in February 2026.
The main part of the meeting was to discuss the order of the tasks, give approximate dates, and uncover any points that need to be clarified or confirmed. The Excel sheet is updated and attached to the indico page, and will be circulated to those at the meeting for any comments.
The following points were decided (in addition to the proposed planning):
- P. Valentin will align the RFQ jacks on the beam line 10mm down-stream, to facilitate the installation of the RFQ. The displacement will be recovered after the RFQ is placed in position.
- The RFQ will be moved under vacuum. To allow it to be moved to the beam-line position, the solenoid will be removed. S. Bertolo will try to provide a test set up for when the solenoid is removed, and tooling to compress the solenoid bellows. It was accepted that reinstalling the solenoid will be challenging, with very little longitudinal margin.
- A VIC is needed to discuss aspects to perform the handling operations, S. Ramberger will organize this. R. Scrivens will ask the EROS team for a participant.
- R. Scrivens will organize with First-line a general lock-out of all power converters, D. Bodart will use the same visit to lock-out the solenoid2 and quads in the 3MeV line.
- S. Ramberger will look for the plates that will bridge the trench, and the mask for the RFQ entrance (to plug the bead-pull holes).
- Suitbert is the lead for coordinating the move. Always contact him if there are any non-RFQ move activities, to check for compatibility.
- A week meeting will be organized on-site.
-
- For tasks that have a significant risk, a VIC is needed (1 was identified for the handling of the RFQ and the water tuning system).
-
- PPE (helmets, safety shoes, personal dosimeter) are always needed and it is essential to wear them in this period.
-
- An electrical inspection of the facility will be performed before powering the RFQ.
