Short Braze Tests prior to full length jaw Braze Test #2 Immediate schedule 200mm mandrel machined for the braze wire groove and the OD reduced (~0.4mm diameter) to eliminate tubing distortions. QC department measured the 4 Quarter Jaw IDs and the Test Mandrel and determined modifications to the Jaws are necessary. Jaw inner surface modified by shop Klystron Braze Shop will then braze the 4 jaws on 200mm long Assy Promise completion date 12/19/06: in furnace now Assembly will then be sectioned for braze joint inspection. Braze test #3 planned: A second 200mm long Copper mandrel will be fabricated for more Jaw braze technique development and winding practice before the full size 9050mm Heater Test Mandrel is attempted Molybdenum to copper braze tests are in the planning stages SLAC R&D Mtg. - 18 December 2006 LHC Rotatable Phase II Collimators
Single Jaw Thermal Test Hardware Progress Clean Tent infrastructure upgrades nearing completion. Electricians have installed ~half required conduit SOC contacted. Told to get blessings of Earthquake, ES&H, High Energy Experimental and Electrical Safety Committees Molybdenum Shaft completed and in house on 11/28/2006 Jaw 1/4 sections qty 22 released to vendor (includes 2 spares and 4 for additional Short Mandrel Tests) Late January anticipated Improved/Revised Mandrel design released to vendor for fabrication Mid January date promised SLAC R&D Mtg. - 18 December 2006 LHC Rotatable Phase II Collimators
Other Tests & Design Work for 1st Jaw Coil Tests Bend 10mm sq. OD/ 7mm sq. ID copper samples into design configurations to check for distortions (internal and external) Samples are being fabricated from 11mm sq. CDA101 conductor Interested in knowing how much the tube deforms inward (relative to Mandrel OD) as a result of winding If deformation is unacceptable may need to bulge it back out by over-pressurizing the tube after brazing Twist tests Twist a few samples to failure for a measure of the margin of safety and to determine actual torque required Detail design work on Collimator End Supports and Bellows Assy Prototype “Rotator” design for proof-of-concept testing U-Joint for initial deflection tests Fabrication of appropriate CERN hardware Drawing Trees and Lists for this are in work SLAC R&D Mtg. - 18 December 2006 LHC Rotatable Phase II Collimators

LHC Rotatable Phase II Collimators Beam tests in 2007-2008 (??) Beginning to think about a Dummy Collimator for use in beam tests in 2007/2008 before final prototype is delivered for damage tests: no rotation no cooling one jaw 2 jaw steppers For impedence tests: 2 Jaws 4 steppers Image Current Plate with RF springs no water cooling ??? What tests are really possible in 2007? Should we be preparing this hardware? SLAC R&D Mtg. - 18 December 2006 LHC Rotatable Phase II Collimators
