Objective: coat at least 90% of the SPS with a carbon thin film with low secondary electron emission in order to mitigate electron cloud. Objects to coat: dipoles (MBB+MBA = 70%), Quadrupoles (QD+QF = 10%), LSS (10%), eventually SSS (10%). The pumping port shields shall also be coated.

Objects to coat: dipoles (MBB+MBA = 70%), Quadrupoles (QD+QF = 10%), LSS (10%), eventually SSS (10%). The pumping port shields shall also be coated. Facility to coat the SPS magnets with carbon Quadrupoles , drift tubes for LSS and SSS, and pumping port shields will be coated in actual facility (b. 181-R-F12) (potential conflicts with NEG coating for LHC have not yet been analyzed) Surface cleaning is mandatory prior to coat. Two options: 1) wet cleaning; 2) plasma cleaning (validation foreseen for 2014).
Production steps for each dipole: Dismount from SPS transport to coating lab Surface cleaning Transport To SPS coating installation Facility to coat the SPS magnets with carbon TE-VSC TE-MSC TE-MSC Production constrains: ~1000 magnets to be cleaned and coated in one year (LS2) => 6 / day. Coating systems required to assure such pace: 1) if wet cleaning 12; 2) if plasma cleaning 16. (two dipoles piled up per coating system). Surface requirements: 600 m2(+100m2 for storage); >18 tons crane. Close to BA3 or BA5. (avoid road transport and easy extraction from tunnel )
