Stay informed about the latest developments in the MICE experiment at RAL, including beam tube manufacturing, infrastructure upgrades, and technical board meetings.
E N D
Beam & Infrastructure • Hall clearance completed • Revisiting Water & Cryo Plant • Prepare for shutdown ’04 • beam tube • Contract hole cutting • Negotiating with DF to help target work along at Sheffield • Discussion with ASTeC on RF Support
MICE • Technical Board meeting • Adopted change control – process in place • Plan to revise MICE design for March CB • This is also the timescale to complete the WBS (ISIS Shutdowns!) • WBS • All parts now represented except slow controls and instrumentation • Negotiations…. Interfaces… • Absorber review • December 9-10
Tasks to end 2003 • Manufacture beam tube • R&D on absorber window (welding samples) • Continue Cryogenic & Hydrogen System design (absorber) – establish heat load • Complete Beam Line performance evaluation
Plans for 2004/5 • Cut into synchrotron vault ◄ • Bring PSI Solenoid to RAL ◄ • Assembly of an RF Test Stand ◄ • Engineering design of beam line • Engineering of Target Mechanism • Design MICE support structure • Complete water & Cryo. plant design • Begin building design (contract) • Start building work (contract)
Light yield 4-5 pe • Expectation ~10 • Systematic analysis in hand • Simulation updated to include more realistic models of inefficiency, noise etc. • Reconstruction of simulated data shows adequate performance • Outstanding issue: resolution (MCS dominated) needs to be shown to give adequate resolution in emittance • MICE adopted SciFi detector as baseline tracker … will be used subject to satisfactory resolution of above
