Description

Aim of the Review:

  • To confirm that we are ready to hand over the design of the various different BPMs for the HL-LHC Interaction Regions to CERN Internal Manufacturing Workshop of fully compliant pre-series and to BINP for preparing the production.
  • To freeze the interfaces and integration aspects impacting all of these BPMs

The Review Panel are asked to answer the following questions:

  1. Does each BPM design meet the functional requirements?
    The characteristics to be assessed in particular are: beam position measurement capability, beam coupling impedance, electron cloud mitigation, cooling including temperature and heat-load management, vacuum integrity, collision debris absorption (where applicable).
  2. Is each BPM design sound and optimised for ease of production and cost?
    Design aspects to be assessed in particular are: selected raw materials, machined conflat flanges, synergies with TE/VSC designs (thermal links, RF fingers), coating materials, tooling for BPM alignment, copper inserts, welding lips, cooling capillaries.
  3. Is the BPM integration within each cryo-assembly well defined?
    The integration issues to be assessed in particular are: definition of interfaces to the downstream and upstream components, BPM installation procedure including use of the necessary tooling, routing of the cryogenic cables installed within the cryo-assembly, location of cryostat flanges, mock-up plans.
  4. Does the procurement and mechanics production plan promise a successful delivery?
    Production aspects to be assessed in particular are: selected machining methods, division of responsibilities between CERN and BINP, production capabilities at BINP, prototyping plan, quality assurance plan, documentation, coating and assembly procedures, non-conformity treatment.
  5. Are the project budget and schedule clear and in line with the HL-LHC project?
    Parts of the project to be assessed in particular are: alignment with the global HL-LHC schedule, missing expenses, overlooked tasks.
