Risk Based R&D Plan Martin Cooper Los Alamos
Outline • The Process • Reevaluation of the Program • Iteration on the Contents • Risk Methodology • The Plan • Assumptions • Schedule Overview • Risk Overview • Contract Project Manager Actions • The Schedule Challenge • News • Summary
Reevaluation of the Program • One day of the October collaboration meeting was devoted to reevaluating every part of the R&D plan • The CPM appointed an advisory committee • Jan Boissevain (Consultant) – Chief Engineer • Bob Golub (NCSU) • Geoff Greene (Tennessee/ORNL) • Mike Hayden (SFU) • Steve Lamoreaux (Yale) – Co-spokesperson • Committee reported their evaluations individually • CPM made decisions
Risk Methodology R&D Project
Assumptions • Most R&D will be completed by the end of CY’07 • Technical feasibility will be established by the end of CY’07 • Resources will move as needed • Some small amount of new funding will be found • The R&D will be evaluated by the impact of all results on the sensitivity of the EDM experiment
Contract Project Manager Actions • Promote duplicate effort on 3He relaxation • Get other institutions to assist in valve development • Search for addition funding for full valve test • Encourage NCSU team not to distract Duke team • Get agreement on magnet uniformity requirement • Search for addition funding for the 3He holding coil • Increase scientific staffing on the HV tests • Redirect engineering and technician efforts to the new cryostat • Get Yale to coordinate the SQUID effort • Get other institutions to assist in the 3He injection test • Decide whether to fund the laser fluorescence work • Withhold funding of the slow controls prototype • Request a set of standards for slow controls
The New Cryostat ABS HV Test Cryostat
Transition Region “Film Burner” pump out “Film Burner” “Cs Region”
Holding Coil Tri-coil Helmholtz magnet
3He Collection Volume Kapton seal 40mm Pyrex O-ring joint Polarized 3He beam NMR pickup coil
Cs Film Controller Teflon O-ring to seal Cs when warm Cesium ring
The Film Burner “Film burner” pump out Heat sink to 4K shield Heat sink to 1 K pot Super-fluid film flow Solenoid magnet, Φ4” Heat sink to DR still
Film Burner Detail .5mm gap to create gas flow impedance Knife edge Super-fluid film flow
Measurement Concept 1/Fill Time = Production Rate - Loss Rate Absorption Time 1/Detector Loss Rate Storage Time
100 s holding time Counts (/s) Time (s)
Results – 300 & 50 K 230±5 s ln(counts) 110±10 s Delay Time (s)
Summary • The Process • Reevaluation of the Program – No major changes but some additions where possible in response to the CD-1 review • Risk Methodology – Separate impact evaluation from the main project • The Plan • Assumptions – The technical challenges dominate • Schedule Overview – New cryostat is the critical path • Risk Overview – 6 high and 12 medium evaluations out of 60 • Contract Project Manager Actions – Working to optimize our effectiveness • The Schedule Challenge – The new cryostat is a significant experiment in its own right • News – Storage time measurement
