Actions: update done during the meeting (see action follow-up)

  • TE-MSC reporting: see presentations
  • TE-MPE reporting: 
    • EE - Secheron almost ready for the delivery at the beginning of September 2019. The existing system shall be disconnected. After installation of the new system, one test will be done to check that all is correct and then the old one will be thrown. Dump resistors are at CERN
  • TE-CRG reporting:
    • B165 is operational. All the functional modes have been tested. Beginning of September it is foreseen to prepare the work on N2 circuit in advance.
    • B163 - design is frozen, manufacturing started.
    • Jumbo cylinders at CERN bat the end of August 2019
  • Integration: see presentation

      Actions from meeting on 26.6.2019 

      1. PID under approval: wait for feedback from A. Vande Craen until 05.07.2019 (A. Lees) - A. Vande Craen confirms that the PIDs are fine with him 

      2. TE-MSC shall align to the F2 cryostat interfaces as previously agreed with TE-CRG. If not possible, an ECR shall be issued. It is reminded that, once available, the interfaces should be approved by TE-CRG (A. Lees, A. Vande Craen) ==> EN-MME discussed with TE-CRG, problem with welding of inner tubes, under evaluation at TE-CRG. EN-MME will ask for an ad-hoc scan of the pit (action N. Joannon)

      3. Integration: the routing of the cables from the facility selection to F2 shall be defined (N. Joannon, C. Barth) ==> integration done, waiting for EN-EL feedback

      4. B163 shut-down period: due to several reasons (CDS delay by 6 weeks and open days preparation and compatibility) the shutdown period will be postponed by 6 weeks. The overall project planning shall be updated accordingly (G. Riddone) ==> done and available in EDMS 

      5. Integration: due to the correct positioning of F1 cryostat, check the impact on the related systems (A. Lees on CDS, Ch. Barth on quick connection) ==> no impact, see NJ presentation

      6. F2 pit: organise a meeting with SMB (E. Perez Duenas) to clean the F2 cryostat pit (Ch. Barth). If needed the water pump will be replaced. In addition:

      - the cleaning of the pit shall be foreseen; OK

      - the evacuation routing/slope revised; OK

      - the vessel support feet replaced. NOK

      7. Installation sequence: check if it is possible to install the quick connection system before F2 cryostat (Ch. Barth) ==> obsolete
