Progress Updates and Issues

Leon Beverly's meeting summaries in italics.

Upstream Beamline

BEAM - Beamline

UBL - Upstream Beamline Detectors

BCKOV

Targets

Ron Soltz:

  • Investigating a target multiplicity array; update in 1&endash;2 weeks.

TGTW - Target Wheel

CTGT - Cryogenic Targets

NTGT - NuMI (MINOS) Target

TPC - Time Projection Chamber

Ron Soltz:

  • No work on stick tests.
  • Obtained STAR GG (Gating Grid) driver board schematic; understand the main blocks and which we need; starting to explore fabriction options (LLNL, FNAL, UCLA).

Ingrid Fang:

  • Stand drawings have been checked.
  • Cart design is complete, including additional feature for fork lift handling.
  • Need assembly drawing to show rail and shimming.

Magnets

Paint magnets week of 8/26.

Measurement

Raja:

  1. The following are the pieces of information I have been able to gather about Ziptrack.
  2. Old Cart is missing.
  3. Rest of Hardware exists. (Barnes has seen it. We need to locate it.)This includes Hall Probes.
  4. A cart has been half built by Jim Kilmer for use in HyperCP(?) , after they discovered the old one was missing. (Source Doug Jensen). Jim please confirm this if so.
  5. Most importantly, the computer and software exists (Source Doug Jensen). It cannot be hooked up to a network, but can write data to a zip disk. Mike Roman was the last person to program this computer.
  6. The next step is to locate all the pieces. Doug Jensen and I will try and do this. Peter, let me know where you found the pieces.

Peter Barnes:

There is a large pile of Ziptrack parts, including two 2-D translation stations (large orange towers), numerous rails, and even a computer or two, in Meson East, downstream of where MINOS assembled their coil. I think the parts are roughly opposite a roll-up door on the east side.

Jim Kilmer:

The cart I worked on is not 1/2 built. I had a number of parts made but it needs many more and then assembly. It will take a fair amount of machinist time to finish.

Missing part, zip-track cart &endash; Jim K. estimates 200 hours of machining (material needs to be purchased) and 2 weeks of tech time to assembly cart.

Raja is trying to boot-up computer & check software status.

JGG - Jolly Green Giant

Rosie

CKOV - Cerenkov

Ingrid Fang:

  • Expect cart and rails delivery today.

Cart, rails arrived 8/22.

Install rails ~8/29.

Gas system &endash; may use R11 recovery system rather than C4F10; Peter/Raja &endash; determine what level of contamination can be tolerated in system.

DC - Drift Chambers

Ingrid Fang:

  • Expect DC2 stand delivery next Tuesday.

Testing continues; work continues on brackets & trays, next chamber ready to move to test stand &endash; grounding scheme needs to be verified for operational stability.

Iowa chambers &endash; support stand design in progress, drawings started; RMH racks need chilled water, 18 degree C input, 2 gpm/rack, heat load is 2500W/rack, two racks.

TOF - Time of Flight

Tim Bergfeld:

  • Testing PMT shields vs. known Rosie fringe field in progress.
  • Evaluating two design schemes &endash; aim is to minimize material in beam.
  • Plan is to assemble TOF at S. Carolina and ship to Fermilab.

RICH - Ring Imaging Cerenkov

Layout of read out boards not quite finished, but close, plan to place PO w/in 2 weeks.

NCAL - Calorimeter

DAQ - Data Acquisition

Ron Soltz

  • 5 additional VME PPC boards on order
  • David Asner has setup hardware for DAQ chain test at LLNL; starting on DAQ code itself.

MC - Monte Carlo

Installation

Alignment

Still awaiting removal of B2 from target pile so final survey thru MC5, 6 & 7 can be documented.

MC7 Enclosure and Counting House

Roof installation not yet complete, insulation installation on hold; OH doors are installed;

Meetings

Project Management

Next Systems Call

The next call will be Thursday, 29 August 2002, at 3:00 CDT in WH-11SW.
