Magnet Installation
•
Installation is progressing in sectors 8-1 and 4-5. More than 100
superconducting magnets have been installed. The installation rate
must now ramp up to 20 magnets per week (16 dipoles and 4 SSSs) in
the next few weeks.
•
At the end of October, sector 7-8 will be liberated for magnetic
installation. From then on there will be no shortage of slots.

Reinstallation of QRL in 7-8
•
Sub-sectors A and B (600 m) have been cooled down on Wednesday
14th September.
•
After the cold tests, the inner triplet will be installed, cooled down and
powered whilst the rest of the line is being installed.

Conclusions
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Main objectives:
– terminate installation in February 2007
– first collisions in summer 2007
The industrial production of standard components is compatible with
this objective.
The ramping up of QRL activities and magnet installation is critical to
maintain this schedule.
Additional actions have been implemented to ensure proper QRL
production and installation rates.
The installation and interconnection of cryomagnets have started in the
tunnel.
The commissioning of technical systems will take place in two adjacent
sectors in parallel.
Main next actions:
– partial test of sector 7-8 in autumn 2005
– commissioning test of the two first sectors (7-8 and 8-1) in
summer 2006
– find external collaborators to help with commissioning.
=> many thanks to INFN for its support !
