1. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 Installation (INS) Requirements and Design Breakout Presentation NSF Review of Advanced LIGO Project Dennis Coyne, Caltech

2. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 2 Installation (INS) WBS Functions INS is the project phase between subsystem assembly & project completion Includes: Removal » Removal of existing detector equipment » Disposition or storage of equipment » Particulate clean up of vacuum chambers Installation » Installation of Vacuum Equipment » Installation of all Detector Equipment –External to vacuum system –Internal to vacuum system Testing » In-situ Unit/subsystem Testing » Integrated System-Level Testing Does not include: Installation Planning (FMP scope) Installation Staging (FMP scope) Assembly (subsystem scope) Unit Acceptance testing (subsystem scope) Installation Fixtures (subsystem & FMP scope) Commissioning (beyond project scope) Data & Computing System (DCS) installation & test

3. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 3 Basic Strategy Start with Livingston (L1) to minimize impact of initial problem discovery » Unless world-wide gravitational network status sets other priorities LIGO manages all INS activities » No subcontracted effort » Skilled trade labor all directed by LIGO staff Prior to INS start: » All production/fabrication and assembly are completed (reduce labor distraction and delays from late deliveries) » Integrated Testing & Training at LASTI Lab (@MIT) & 40m Lab (@Caltech) –Pre-Stabilized Laser + Input Optics + Data Acquisition/Networking (PSL+IO+DAQ) –Seismic Isolation System + Suspension Assemblies + partial Interferometer Sensing & Control + Data Acquisition/Networking (SEI+SUS+~ISC+~DAQ)

4. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 4 INS Procedure Development & Training at the MIT LASTI Facility Large Full-Scale Prototype Assemblies are Installed & Tested in the LASTI Facility Chambers Mode Cleaner, Triple Suspension Installation in a HAM Chamber at LASTI Quadruple Suspension Installation on Temporary Optics Table at LASTI Internal Seismic Isolation (ISI) Assembly at LASTI (to be installed in BSC Chamber in 2006)

5. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 5 Basic Strategy (continued) After INS Start: » Simultaneous installation at both observatories (optimum staff utilization) » Time phased installation of subsystems (leveling load on experts) –Sufficient to transfer/re-direct expertise to support 2 nd observatory installation –Insufficient time to rework – rely upon subsystem/subassembly testing and LASTI system testing » Significant participation & support from observatory staff (training) » Installation & Integrated Testing are parallel activities –emphasis on early discovery of problems at integrated systems level –emphasis on installation of in-vacuum components ASAP

6. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 6 Installation Readiness Installation Readiness Review to be held prior to switching off an Operating Observatory Litmus Test for Readiness: » Agreement between LSC & LIGO Lab that switching off a working LIGO interferometer will not cripple the world-wide network of gravitational wave observatories » All Installation Procedures Approved –Note that many procedures developed for Initial LIGO are common to AdL » Critical Installation Activities & Tooling have been Tested (LASTI testbed) » Sufficient assembly, check-out and delivery of subsystem components completed, so that installation will not be supply chain limited

8. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 8 INS Organization & Team Composition Organization: » Centralized, flat organization » Program Manager directs INS effort » Separate on-site management for Installation and Integrated System Test Teams: » Subsystem focused » Installation teams comprised of the subsystem staff (designed & fabricated the hardware) » Plus observatory staff (assembled & tested the hardware) » Plus hired temporary (contract) staff (particularly skilled trade labor and technicians) as needed

14. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 14 Installation/Integration Challenges Subsystem deliveries may be late » Readiness Review to decide whether to start or delay Safety » Tight procedures & training (as was done in Initial LIGO) » Light Source Physically locked within PSL Enclosure during most of the Installation effort » Strict adherence to Safety Plan Timely Transfer of Lessons Learned from 1 st Interferometer to 2 nd & 3 rd » Staggered Starts (9 months) » Common management & key staff Quality Assurance » In-situ Subsystem Testing for acceptance is mandatory

15. LIGO-G060224-00-M May 17, 2006 15 Approach to Establishing the Basis Of Estimate Costs » Bottom-up: –Labor mix and hours based on team composition per task times expected task duration and times needed duty cycle for labor skills » Top-Down: –Compare to Initial LIGO Travel Cost during Installation & Integrated Test –Compare to Initial LIGO Labor Costs during Installation & Integrated Test –Justify differences Schedule » Engineering judgment/estimate of major phase durations based on Initial LIGO experience » Compare to Initial LIGO duration
