Description
Mandate:
The TE Department Head confirms the composition of the Review Committee with the general mandate “to review CERN’s plans and consolidation actions concerning the superconducting splices in the LHC machine for 7 TeV operation”.

Specifically:
To work in close liaison with the CERN Splices Task Force, Chairperson Jean-Philippe Tock.
To consider all splices over complete circuits, within and between equipment.
To ensure “best practice” knowledge existing in world Laboratories and Industries has been duly considered.
To ensure that an integrated, systems approach is being followed, covering both electrical and mechanical issues, neighboring systems, operations, …

Members of Review Committee:
George Ganetis, BNL
Toru Ogitsu, KEK
Jim Strait, Fermilab, Chairperson
Howard Pfeffer, Fermilab
Pierre Vedrine, CEA Saclay
Chen-yu Gung, ITER
