Conclusions • All key objectives have been reached for the end of 2005 and installation is now proceeding smoothly. • Half of the machine has been liberated for magnet installation and is proceeding in 3 octants in parallel. Magnet installation is now steady at 20/wk and will ramp up to 25/wk next month. Installation will finish end February 2007. • Interconnect must now ramp up to plateau of 30/wk for the ring to be closed by spring 2007. • We will make every effort to have a first run in 2007.
