Description
This talk is the summary of the Magnet Evaluation Board experience
in the magnet
allocation for the sector 7-8. I will outline the role and
functioning of the Board,
and its evolution since beginning of 2004. I will then describe the
installation
algorithm followed, with some reasoning on the background and the
expected gain in
terms of mechanical aperture, of dynamic aperture, and overall
performance. I will
give practical examples where the work had to be adapted to schedule
or other
constraints, and the compromise found in these cases. The lesson
learned, and the
changing work hypothesis on storage and installation, are such that
the slot
allocation procedure is changing to an optimization over a complete
arc. I will
finally discuss open points such as the difficulty found in
completing a sector, the
allocation of magnets other than dipoles, and possible flexibility
in moving
allocated magnets to other sectors.
