Dear PEPPo Collaborator:
I couldn't make today's meeting, but have received ~handful of queries
about the role of PEPPo in the CEBAF startup schedule, so here is some
broad feedback for everyone.
1. The PEPPo installation has a long way to go before we reach the
point of worrying about actually staffing shifts for beam studies. My
best estimate is that regions 1 and 4 should be installed by the end of
September. The assembly of region 2 and 3 will continue into early
October where the region 2 spectrometer vacuum chamber is the critical
path item and will not be ready before Oct. 1st. Consequently, the
priority for PEPPo in October will be to complete the beam line
installation (mechanical, electrical, software, detector). The
availability to do this work will entirely rest upon being ready to take
advantage of day-to-day opportunities during recovery of CEBAF.
2. Once the installation is completed we will need some handful of
shifts to checkout the hardware, software, controls without and and then
with beam. We need to generate a check list which will help us make
sure that systems are ready for testing. If we get this far during
startup it will be a great success.
3. In terms of schedule we'll just need to re-evaluate our readiness
every couple of weeks. Remember that we are "filler" to the float or
contingency which is scheduled into the recovery. If recovery goes well
then we get more time and vice versa.
Best,
Joe
