## IR Commissioning* Task

- Above Ground Mechanical Fitup
- Installation Oversight and
- Hardware Commissioning of US Deliverables
- *Really Installation and commissioning
- Goal is to get US deliverables operational

- _IR Commissioning* Task_

## Successful Above-Ground Fitup of US Deliverables

- Inner Triplet (FNAL)

- DFBX (LBNL)

- D1 (BNL)

- Participants:  Joseph Rasson (LBNL), Rodger Bossert, Joe Dimarco, Phil Pfund, Tom Page, Tom Nicol, Jim Rife, Michael Lamm (FNAL)

- Purpose of Test
- Assemble all pieces for one complete IR
- Mechanical fitup of interconnects
- Pipes adjustments to install length, dry fit
- Vacuum tests
- Shields, interconnect kits
- Magnets on alignment jacks
- Electrical continuity

- LHC Assembly Building March-April 2005

## Working Schedule was:
Commissioning of IR 8L magnets in December 2005-January 2006
Complete Installation of section 7-8 8-1 by June 2006; commission sectors
Use experience to fine tune commissioning plan for rest of LHC
First Beam Summer 2007

New Schedule
No special IR 8 L commissioning
June 2006 is the first commissioning
First Beam Summer 2007 ???

- Latest Word on Installation and Commission Schedule

## Time Frame:  First  sector Spring  2006,  throughout FY2006, 07?
Check mechanical/vacuum/cryo connections
Check installation procedures
Review electrical and alignment data
Installation bugs worked out in Mechanical Fitup
Because of delay of commissioning till spring 2006 we may try to tie schedule for FNAL participation to completion of construction project (i.e. till March 2006)
Level of Effort  FY6-7
~1/3 FTE on First sector
Less on subsequent sectors (but non zero based on fitup)
Main Participants
Mechanical Engineers (Rasson, Page, Nicol, Bossert, Plate....)
Main CERN Contacts
Ranko Ostojic AT-MEL and Interconnect team in  AT-CRI

-  Impact on Installation

## Bi-weekly teleconference between US and CERN
Ranko Ostojic AT-MEL and Interconnect team in  AT-CRI
Resource planning for Installation 
i.e. Magnet delivery schedule, LHC schedule updates

Finishing stages of detailed installation procedures, drawings, parts lists, installation tooling

## 
Full Commissioning Task Starts Spring 2006
Some participation through short visits and possibly through remote monitoring (see LHC@FNAL talk)
Peter Limon starts 1 year stay in November 2005
Two additional people lined up to live at CERN in CY 2006
Cryogenic Expert (1)
Experienced in Superfluid testing of US Magnets
Magnet Physicist 
Magnet powering, quench protection
Expected Hardware Commissioning completion in Summer 2007
Small carryover into beam commissioning to study dynamic heat loads on magnets and cryosystem (radiation damage?)
Important tool for design of IR upgrades

## 
We have a well defined program for FY06
Change in scheduling does not substantially change our plans
Inner triplet HC contribution is established
More emphassis on installation in early FY06, more emphasis on HC planning at CERN.
Change in scheduling does not significantly change overall budget 
Importance of following through on performance of US deliverables during beam operation :Important feedback to IR upgrades 
Validate magnet cooling schemes
Radiation damage laboratory
Validate shielding, energy deposition models
