Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 2 ITS - FWD - beam pipe installation  Major constraints Presence of  -absorber on RB26 side: forces asymmetric installation Small clearance SPD – CS-pipe (5 mm): forces specific assembly of SPD (no SPD sliding over beam pipe) Minimum material budget: all services have to be connected at both ITS ends  Consequences Complex and rather long installation procedure Several installation approaches have been studied during three years. The present solution is being pursued by:  testing the details on a full-scale installation mock-up  regular discussions within ALICE and with the beam pipe group AT/VAC has the responsibility of all the operations on the pipe and on its support and bakeout shell

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 4 Installation step 1. (6 days) (all durations assuming 1 shift / day)  Assumptions before starting ITS installation: The beam pipe in the Front Absorber (RB26) is already leak-tested and refilled with N 2 ; its flange is available at the nominal coordinates out of the Front Absorber The TPC is at 4.5 m from the int. point (IP) on the RB24 side (opposite to the absorber) The 4 fixation plates (C1…C4) of the ITS rails on the TPC are pre-assembled so that they will become aligned when the ITS will be coaxial with the TPC at the end of the installation.  First installation step Install and align (survey) the ITS rails so that they are 1 mm below the nominal beam axis (to minimize the displacement of beam-pipe bellows while linking ITS to TPC) On the absorber: rails held by remotely actionable jaws TPC/C1 TPC/C2 TPC/C3 TPC/C4 L3 4.5 m IP Front absorber ITS rails jaws

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 22 Summary of installation schedule  In the present planning the ITS – FWD – beam-pipe installation starts on middle June 2006  Assuming one shift per day, and without parallelization of tasks, the present estimate indicates a overall duration of 15 weeks.

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 23 Commissioning  All the concerned detectors and sub-systems (power, cooling, monitoring) will be thoroughly tested during the construction phase After the construction, the ITS barrels will be operated for final debugging for about 4-8 weeks  ITS and FWD commissioning (sub-systems included) has to be performed during the installation: no time to re-open the detectors for reparations. After FWD installation and after ITS installation, tests with pulser will be performed The ITS will be tested after the RB24 service chariot has been slid to the final position (turn-on requires the cooling system to be functional) Some monitoring of individual subdetectors is possible during installation (e.g. during nights), to ensure regular operation, without increasing the already long installation time. The appropriate temporary connections are currently under study Any intervention to the FEE and the detectors is excluded

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 24 Survey and alignment  Survey of the working position See installation sequence before For all the sub-detectors: whenever the positioning capability of the installation tools cannot guarantee the knowledge of the detector positions within ± 0.1 mm (Still to be defined )  Monitoring during the installation and operation Monitor of the beam pipe bellows on the RB26 side : continuously since the installation of the 1 st CS beam pipe support Monitor of the clearance SPD – beam-pipe : continuously since the installation of the half-cylinders Monitor of the TPC absolute position: continuously since its sliding-in to the interaction point Monitor of the ITS-TPC relative position: continuously since the arrival of the TPC on the interaction point

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 25 Maintenance and access in the future  Accessibility of the various elements All the considered detectors can be accessed only after the removal of the TPC (operation which implies several weeks)  Time estimates for various exchanges/repair of critical elements Careful intervention ITS / Forward detectors during shutdown 3 months would allow sufficient time for major repair operation Access for bake-out - Alice detector fully operational 5 to 6 weeks (depends on the extent of commissioning) Fast access for bake-out - Alice detector not operational 2 to 3 weeks possibly even faster  Fault tolerance ITS sub-detectors are rather highly segmented for both the power supplies and the cooling system (each segment corresponds to few% of the acceptance), so in case of fault leading to shutdown of one element the loss in acceptance would be tolerable FMDs, particularly the FMD-Si1, will embody as much redundancy as possible. All the sub-detectors have spare parts ranging from 10% to 20% The monitoring tools installed within the TPC body will have redundancy.

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 26 Personnel and resources  Personnel from the ALICE Institutes will be present during the pre-installation mechanical test (about 13 weeks for installation and 8 weeks for removal, from 7/2004) for the movements of the sub-detectors, their connections (cabling, cooling), etc.  Additional personnel from the ALICE Institutes will be present during the installation (about 15 weeks from 6/2006) for the functional tests & commissioning.  Personnel from the ALICE DCS, DAQ and trigger groups is needed during the installation for the first setup of the detector DAQ/trigger branches and then on-call  Personnel for the external cooling systems (ST/CV) is needed for the first setup of the detector cooling control system and then on-call

Installation Review March ‘03 L.Simonetti – INFN Torino 27 CERN infrastructure use  Road Transport In principle ITS needs only one transport, at the start of installation, from the Si-Lab in Meyrin (build.186) to SLX2 : on a vibration-free vehicle for the barrel On standard CERN transportation trucks for the several racks (power supply, cooling, etc.) The total weight of the ITS barrel is about 100 kg  Cranes usage and survey CERN personnel for the survey and the crane operation is needed on the basis of a detailed schedule that has to be prepared; Present very preliminary estimates for the survey indicate a need for 20% of the time both during the pre-installation mechanical test (13 weeks from 7/2004) and during the installation (15 weeks from 6/2006). Need of the crane should be limited to few days during the same period
