Detector’s plans

LS1 – Detector’s main activities More details in Sept ‘12 TB
Intervention When SPD Drill 5 filters (SR ) and upgrade cooling plant (new pumps) w15-20 (drilling) SDD Replace ISEG HV boards SSD Modify CAEN LVPS w12 (removal) TRD Install 5SM. Repair HV chambers SM17 and rework LV distribution for 7 SMs See next slide TOF Replace all CAEN DC-DC power converters with new version. Replacement of faulty DRMs, TRMs and LTMs. 10 SMs have to be displaced (~1m) September TPC FE and HV consolidation w10 and w12 to 14 PHO Remove entirely detector and its support cradle, install 1 additional SM. FE and readout consolidation Whole 2013 PMD Remove detector w10 EMC Change RCU-based readout to SRU-based readout March-April V0-A Not yet decided whether to remove the detector Decision after w10 FMD Fix leak inside FMD-A if V0-A is removed. Re-route cooling line inside miniframe and in C-side MTK Solve occupancy problem: repair LV bus-bars (90 chambers to be modified) ZDC Repair vertical movement system (take out both ZDCs) 14/2/13 ALICE TB Update on LS1 plans - A.Tauro

ITS SPD: SDD: SSD: Drill 5 filters (SR0-1-2-3-8)
Minor interventions on the FEE cards Cooling: reuse old inlet pipes, recalibrate T-P sensors, remove sub-cooling Items under discussion: replace pump in cooling plant SDD: Replace ISEG boards (HV drift problem). Improve cooling in CR4 racks (to be studied) Install SuperCarlosRX cards  need DAQ for testing Cooling: replace plastic pipes of plant manifold (tbc), replace 10 P and T sensors and 5 P regulators SSD: CAEN LVPS modification (decrease CM)  Ship 120 PSs (Easy) to CAEN, in batches of 20-30/month, as from beginning of LS1. Test everything (including cooling plant) as soon as all cards are back (September?) Cooling: remove heaters and put plant under UPS (6kW), check safety valves and remove teflon tape. Calibration P sensors. Try to keep the plant running as much as possible. 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

TPC FEE consolidation. HV consolidation:
Replace FECs. The A-side work on A-11 and A-12 requires to remove the SSD and SPD boxes (as we already did in the past). Install and commission redundant ethernet system HV consolidation: Maintenance Read Out Chambers Possibly inspection of containment volumes in field cage Interventions on RR and FEE cooling plants Gas. New CO2 analyser and gas chromatograph, drift velocity monitor consolidation 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

TRD SM production: New tank water cooling plant
All electronics will be produced by end 2012 Plan to produce 5 SM in LS1 Preferred installation scenario: 3 bottom modules in 2013 and 2 top later. This would allow to install the last 2 (SM4 and SM5) in a winter technical stop in case they are not in time for LS1 New tank water cooling plant Gas: cryogenic recovery/cleaning at start of LS1  store Xe Operate the detector for most of LS1 with Ar-CO2 (70-30) Refill with Xe at some point in 2014 Find better CO2 analyzer, new gas chromatograph (TRD-TPC) 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

TRD HV & LV rework TRD HV & LV rework: Take out TRD17 for HV repair in Muenster Rework of LV distribution for 7 sectors ( ) Schedule: wk 14 (i.e. beginning April): P2 crew prepares yellow-platform for TRD17 extraction. wk 15, starting from Monday 8th April: removal of TRD17. wks 16-19: rework LV for sectors and 11. wks 41-43: reinstall TRD17 and rework LV for sectors Definitely a huge enterprise ! Transport, P2 technicians, survey people and TRD crew Installation sequence (yellow-platform, blocks,…) looked at CAD No conflicts with miniframe services so far… TRD17 reinstalled before bottom modules installation (e.g. November) In parallel to L3 services modification for DCal 14/2/13 ALICE TB Update on LS1 plans - A.Tauro

TOF Transfer TOF crates to space frame: still technical discussions – decision hopefully next week. Load transfer should be done already in March (e.g. before TRD work). Cooling: equalization of the flow across the different SMs Full replacement of all CAEN DC-DC converters (A1396A): Replacement of faulty DRMs, TRMs and LTMs. Need to displace SR (tbc) by ~1m Profit to replace DC-DC converters September 2013 (2 weeks) TBC Improving of the ground connections. Intervention (eventually) on the cooling system, at the crate level, for two very hot crates in sector 08. 8/2/13 LS1 planning meeting - A.Tauro

PHOS During LS1 the detector will undergo several repairs (b.167):
Fix problematic RCUs and TRUs Test and replace faulty FEE (implies access to warm region) APD/preamp are inside the cold area, will not be inspected, This would require extracting strip units from the crystal matrix and then mounting them back A new PHOS module (M1) will be assembled and installed in 2014 (2’000 crystals) Crystal cooling plant replaced with more powerful one. 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

EMCal Install new readout system – will take one month (March 2013)
6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

PMD Currently in Super-safe. Re-start operation around end of the year LS1 work: Detector disconnected and brought on the surface ? Displace ELMD and LVDBs in order to improve air flow Crocus cables to be properly routed and supported (cut at same length) Improve crocus crate movement system ZDC Problems with the vertical displacement system of the ZP calorimeter platform, observed in the last two Pb-Pb runs. Mechanical improvement of the platform 1-2 months intervention around March 2013: take out the 2 platforms, bring them to the surface (location to be defined), modify and re-install them. 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

V0A & FMD V0: we still have to decide whether we should extract V0-A.
To be decided whether to take out FMD1 (leaks in cooling system). 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro

Muons Muon TRK: Muon TRG:
Occupancy problem: repair slats (busbar connections): 90 slats to be repaired Will take ~10 months in 2013 (DAQ, DCS and gas needed) Replace one quadrant ST2 Muon TRG: Ordinary FEE and gas tightness maintenance Replacement of a few RPCs, if needed Full campaign of survey and photogrammetry Gas system modification to re-circulate freon (under discussion) 6/9/12 ALICE LS1 plans - A.Tauro
