Target

• Prototype assembled and tested by end March
• Beam test in June
• Ready before end of May
• target unit
• upgraded power supply
• working readout electronics
• For long term
• metal bonded ceramic to replace indium seals
• Improvements can easily be incorporated

5
Beam line

• To do
• Review the optics design
• Build in three stages
• Pion capture (synchrotron) area ?
• design complete Mid-May
• engineering complete end Aug
• Muon solenoid (breaches shield) ?
• test stand
• commission with cryogenics
• plinth rail system
• D2 and Matching section
• D2 stand and rail system
• triplet stands Q4-6 (rails) Q7-9 (static)

Design Reviews

• Today in plenary
• Yury
• Friday pm Technical Board semi-open
• Review the hall layout
• Paper copies of layout for TB
• Round table discussion
• Task leaders nominees to be present
• Questions raised to be documented

Various things

• Just starting to look at
• Interlocks and access document
• Control and monitoring infrastructure

Change control
Change Request raises an awareness X is not
adequate because This is what we have in
mind This is what we will do
Response from technical board The TB
agrees/disagrees The TB request that the
following is also done
Other views
Review
Finally, TB accepts the changes Change Request
? Change Note New baseline issued through TRD
17
Things to be aware of

• Changes to the baseline
• Cryo cooler choice (again!)
• Design of the tracker solenoid
• Tracker volume change
• Diffuser mechanism
• Hall Layout review Yury today, TB Friday
• Shielding of scintillation detectors

18
Office space

• Space is difficult to find at RAL
• Senior management aware
• Initial request
• 4 offices
• 12 persons 3 rooms
• Meeting/secretarial/project office
• Followup on experience of demand

19
Training

• ISIS User Office
• Procedures for training
• General level aimed at short experiments
• Services
• Transport bookings
• Finding hotels
• Badges (radiation) Passports
• Issue of MICE/RAL access badges
• Specific MICE training
• Magnetic fields
• RF, HT, Hydrogen (what is safe, what is not)
• Authorisation (who/what) rules
