Description

As pointed out in previous ABOC/ATC days, the East Area beam lines are difficult to maintain, in particular due the large diversity of the magnets, many of them without spares, and the difficulty to access them whenever a repair is needed. A proposal is presented for a redesign of the area with fewer but more flexible test beams and better access to the equipment in case of failures. The magnets are of fewer types and for each type a sufficient number of operational spares will be available. Preliminary layout and possibly timelines and resource estimates will be presented.
