Installation Schedule Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

The DELPHI Barrel RICH Frame Installation Tools Only one (major) tool used: Serves as handling, transport and installation tool. This frame is also used for the assembly of the TPC. The DELPHI Barrel RICH Frame Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

Survey and Alignment TPC and service support wheels sit on sliding (friction) pads Need CERN survey team in all phases: Photogrammetry on surface Traditional methods such as theodolites in cavern Need fiducial marks (“Taylor balls”) on end plates (6 + 6) Need identifiers (etiquettes) on service support wheel Requires perhaps special supports on service support wheel to make identifiers visible through cabling layers. Should be considered in view of frequent TPC movements Need lines of sight to Taylor balls Space frame and rail sag Space frame sags each time another detector is mounted! --> do initial TPC survey and then a… …final survey when space frame is full. Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

CERN Infrastructure Use Service & Support groups: EP-TA1 Gas working group EP-TA2 Construction & assembly, installation assistance, emergency interventions EP-ED Front end electronics EST-LEA Installation & integration Cabling from service support wheels to racks EST-SU/EXP Survey and alignment (Task Leader: C. Lasseur) ST-CV Cooling and ventilation systems TIS Authorization for use of equipment (lasers, field cage HV) Cranes and special vehicles Standard hall cranes One movable crane (35 t) plus driver for one day Low-bed truck (35 t) for one day and one transport Distance is only ~100 m from SXL2 to SX2! Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

Commissioning DCS fully functional to take control of operation Imperative for all subsequent tasks and functions Gas mixture and quality Detector was already filled with drift gas prior to ITS installation Gas quality (O2 and H2O) checked If not okay, check for leaks. Full test of gas system and safety features Startup of all cooling systems Electronics, resistor rods, thermal screens Low voltage Monitor temperature Check for shorts Inspection of grounding and shielding HV (all systems) Relies on gas quality Gradual ramp-up of all supplies and current monitoring Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

Commissioning (cont’d) Readout system Check for correct cabling Check for oscillations, high pedestals, noise sources Pulse readout electronics Look for cosmic signals (if HV is operational) Laser calibration system Power lasers Send beams to TPC Requires special safety precautions! Beam alignment and correlation Read out tracks with DAQ Do first calibration series with B = 0 Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

Risks and Concerns Technical Personnel Scheduling Commissioning period is short (but we have extensive pre-commissioning!) Stability of readout chamber position in view of frequent TPC movements Regular (yearly) TPC roll-outs for ITS maintenance and repair Personnel Possible shortage of manpower Forecasting of resources difficult Scheduling Slippage due to shortage of manpower Unknown delays from ITS maintenance scenario Re-commissioning of TPC Thomas C. Meyer/EP-AIT

Maintenance and Access In the Future Field Cage (low risk item): The most critical components are the resistor rods They are exchangeable but require, scaffolding, special handling tools and partial dismounting of electronics. If failure is on absorber side, TPC must be moved out of IP position, necessitating complete uncabling of the service support wheels. Un- and recabling of TPC: max. 20 work days (8 h) Repair work and debugging: 10 d ROCs (low risk item): The most sensitive components are the wires (breakage and aging) Same arguments as for the resistor rods Electronics and DCS: Standard maintenance at the level of the service support wheels Requires scaffolding for access Laser Calibration System: Standard maintenance at the level of the end plates Thomas C.
