Institutional funding

• Contracts with all institutions in place
  Maryland last contract to be signed
• Yale terminated with Steve Manly moving to
  Rochester

11
Major Procurements (gt100K)

• VA readout chips (169K IDE AS) delivered 9/98
• TOF phototubes/bases/shields (153K Hamamatsu)
  delivered 9/98
• Magnet (228KDanfysik) delivered to BNL this
  week
• Si sensor production (498KNCU) for arm 1
  complete 11/98
• Beam pipe (307K Electrofusion) 3/98-4/99
• Trigger and TOF electronics (189K LeCroy)
  9/98-1/99
• Front-end controllers (145K) 1/99-3/99

12
Critical path items

• Utilities must be ready for magnet hookup and
  mapping or serious delay in detector installation
  will result
• Must begin production of FECs by 1/99 in order
  to have them all tested by 5/99 and ready for
  installation

13
Contingency

• Value of 276K now at 21 of balance of cost for
  uncommitted expenses.
• Estimates for outside vendors are firm, based on
  quotations.
• Uncertainty in electronics cost essentially in
  estimate for time to assemble modules and to
  debug front-end controllers.
• Some uncertainty in installation costs.

14
Completion of 2nd arm

• Total cost for parts and assembly of arm 2 is
  414K, of which 100K is for custom parts which
  is in WBS.
• Mechanical parts completed with Polish funds and
  Si sensors produced with Taiwan funds.
• Completion of spectrometer arm 2 will depend on
  use of any remaining contingency and new funding.
  This includes commercially available parts and
  assembly VA readout chips (IDE AS)
  99K Vendor interaction and
  oversight 15K Assembly and
  test of detector modules (1.5 FTE-year) 165K
  Additional zero-suppression (Mercury) modules
  35K
  Total
  314K

15
Summary

• All systems in prototype or production phase.
• Total estimated project cost is within budget and
  completion by RHIC turnon is within schedule.
• Completion of spectrometer arm 2 will depend on
  use of contingency and new funding.
• Most major procurements complete.
• Magnet must be installed and mapped on time or
  detector installation will be seriously delayed.
• PHOBOS looking forward to physics running on day
