Summary of the Workshop on Beam • Instrument Upgrades and Consolidations • Objectives • Get a common view and understanding of BI activities related to the Consolidation and Upgrade projects • Review the status of functional specifications • Agree on priorities, plans and actions whenevernecessary • Agree on budget spending profiles or corresponding actions
About budget #1 • We agreed that is not straightforward today to get a precise view on the spending profiles due to various reasons: • Some projects are funded partly between CONS and LIU • Some sources give the total figure per instrument over the entire project length • Some sources give spending profiles but for the entire BI package (EVM?)
About budget #2 • It has been agreed that this situation has to be improved mainly in 2 directions: • Transfer Consolidation budgets towards LIU budgets for every item with budgets from both projects • Put in place and keep up-to-date a common overview, presenting spending profiles for each WU, as reference for all stakeholders • This work is in progress. It will have to be finished before October’s review, hopefully sooner. • →Action LIU management. • BI should provide up-to-date figures before 09/2012
About specification #1 • Functional specification documents have been mentioned and briefly presented during the workshop: • One gathering the full machine parameter ranges to be covered after the upgrade • One functional specification per beam observable (i.e. intensity, losses, position, transverse size and tune)
About specification #2 • The approval process has been discussed and we agreed that these documents will be introduced into EDMS and circulated for comments for a period of 2 weeks. • BI will then organize dedicated technical meetings per observable (covering the 3 machines) with the people involved in the approval process to finalise the documents. →Action BI
Plan #1 • Decide on need for new transformer for 1000 turn measurements →Action BI-OP – 2012 • Investigate the possibility of scanning at 20 m/s with the existing wire scanners (with new motors, bellows and acceleration function) during LS1 →Action BI • For all machines, it has been agreed: • Prepare and send to EN/EL preliminary DICs for all projects requiring new cables before the end of May →Action BI
Plan #2 • Prepare and send to TE/VSC before the end of May an exhaustive list of BI interventions required during LS1 →Action BI • Send a Memo to F. Bordry to inform him about the priorities (and risk associated) of the LIU project in terms of cabling campaign and vacuum interventions • Identify and test more suited acquisition systems for fast BLM observation on all machines →Action BI
