Description

Mandate

The AD electron cooler main components were originally built for the ICE electron cooler in the 1970's, were later used for the LEAR electron coolers and finally reassembled in a shorter version at AD.

The main objective this review is to present the current status of the AD cooler and show a plan for its consolidation and renewal. The review will report its conclusions to the LHC Injector and Experimental Facilities Committee (IEFC).

Review Panel

Mike Lamont (BE-HDO, Chair), Henric Wilkens (EP-ADE), Rende Steerenberg (BE-OP), Richard Scrivens (BE-ABP), Diego Perini (EN-MME), Christian Carli (BE-ABP)

Scientific secretary: Adriana Rossi (BE-BI) | G. Tranquille (AD Electron Cooler Project Leader)

Date and Place: 26th March at CERN (774-R-013).

                

Review charges:

  • Is the case for a complete replacement of the AD electron cooler solid in the context of the long term future of the antiproton facilities at CERN?
  • Are the specifications clear & attainable?
  • Do the mitigation measures put in place guarantee a low risk of failure until deployment of the new cooler?
  • Is the planning optimised and realistic?
  • Is the budget required assigned and correctly profiled?
  • Are the resources required from other Groups confirmed?
