  1. Spectrometer Solenoid Update MICE Video Conference #143 September 1, 2011 Steve Virostek - LBNL

  2. Topics • Technical progress • - Cold mass opening and mods • - Quench resistor assembly • - Vacuum vessel modifications • - Instrumentation • Quench analysis write up • Radiation shield analyses • Milestones

  3. Technical Progress • Cold mass • - Cover cut open in the area of the quench resistors • - Original resistor assembly to be removed soon • - Diode assembly to remain in place • Quench resistor assembly • - Hardware design and fabrication completed at LBNL • - Preliminary assembly now under way • - Installation to begin next week • Vacuum vessel modifications • - Added penetrations in first vacuum vessel wall complete • - 4th& 5th coolers, larger vacuum ports, prep for end plates • - Modifications to 2nd vacuum vessel under way • Instrumentation • - Calibration of Cernox sensors nearly complete at FNAL • - Silicon diodes and new LHe level gauges received

  4. Parts for Quench Resistor Assembly Resistor cooling test

  5. Quench Analysis Write Up • Spectrometer solenoid quench analyses at LBNL has been completed by Soren Prestemon and Pan Heng • Final write up is currently being reviewed • Several conclusions regarding magnet protection • - Existing passive system provides adequate protection • - Resistor cooling scheme being implemented • - An active, external system will be employed to protect the HTS leads in case of a lead quench

  6. Radiation Shield Analyses Stress and displacement (eddy current forces and shipping loads) Eddy current analysis Thermal analysis

  7.
