15 Oscar Adriani Frascati, 26 Giugno 2007 - CSN1 LHCf Status Report Now the real installation in LHC… Pre-Installation dates have been fixed in Fall 2006 –LSS1L (Arm1) o 8/01/2007 to 26/01/2007 FINISHED! –LSS1R (Arm2) o 23/04/2007 to 11/05/2007 FINISHED The dates for the final installation are still under discussion (after the beam test in August/September, may be beginning of 2008?) The idea is that installation takes place in 2 steps: Pre-installation Final installation In between the 2 installation the baking out of the beam pipe will be done (200 o C), so the detectors should be removed

16 Oscar Adriani Frascati, 26 Giugno 2007 - CSN1 LHCf Status Report Before pre-installation a long preparatory job has been necessary: –Modifications of the TAN –Transport machine / Fork lift –Cables and fibers from USA15 to tunnel o Most of the control electronics and all the power supply system are located in the USA15 Atlas control room o > 200 m distance!!! o All the necessary cables have been pulled (~100 cables!!!) o All the connectors have been mounted o All the optical fibers have been installed –Electronic racks in USA15

27 Oscar Adriani Frascati, 26 Giugno 2007 - CSN1 LHCf Status Report 2007 Test Beam 3 settimane di Test Beam (24/08 – 11/09) 3 settimane di Test Beam (24/08 – 11/09) SPS H4 SPS H4 Scopo: Scopo: –Calibrazione assoluta in energia di Arm1 & Arm2 utilizzando più energie possibili per gli elettroni (50 GeV – 250 GeV) –MIsura di E/E per protoni –Misura congiunta LHCf-BRAN (ultimi giorni di test LHCf – Primi giorni di test BRAN) –MIsura diretta di produzione 0 con target leggero?

28 Oscar Adriani Frascati, 26 Giugno 2007 - CSN1 LHCf Status ReportMoney…. Per questo lascio la parola ai referee… Ma prima un breve commento: Principale problema riscontrato per il controllo dei costi: Mancanza di stime precise per le spese necessarie per linstallazione. I lavori vengono svolti da ditte esterne sotto il controllo della divisione TS I costi preventivati normalmente non vengono rispettati (difficoltà nellinstallazione, allarmi di evacuazione nel tunnel, extra costi ….) Continua negoziazione per laccettazione e la ripartizione delle spese tra i vari utenti (Atlas, LHCf, CERN) 2006: Problema del costo aggiuntivo dei cavi 2007: Problema del costo aggiuntivo delle fibre 2008: Speriamo nessun problema!!!! Necessità di un accordo ufficiale con Atlas e il Cern per le spese per gli anni futuri?
