GENERAL NEWS • -- from MICO meetings • -- somedelay in SpectrometerSolenoid due to vacuum being slow to reach goal • (suspect some water trapped in MLI wrap) • Expecteddelivery date isnow August 2012. (SeeSteve’s talk latertoday) • -- somedelay in Focus Coil due to some last minute checks • Worry over pre-tensioning of CM supports • MLI might touch rad. shield at corners (subsequently stated OK by Tesla) • Some confusion over pumping ports – 40mm installed instead of 100mm, • Tom Bradshaw doing conductance calculation • Tesla are having their He supply rationed.....! • Expecteddelivery date isnowearlyJune • MICE isotherwise all ready – Control system gettingready, • fieldmappingdevice has arrivedat RAL etc. etc. And greatprogress in the hall. • Caution thatthingswillstill have a question mark untilmagnet has reached full field!
Other news: -- 14-16 May at CERN ‘neutrino town meeting’ http://indico.cern.ch/event/neutrino_town MICE talk by Paul Smith MICE posters by DeBari (PID), Carlisle (IonizationCooling), Asfandiyarov (EMR) Dobbs (tracker) Also: Andrea Donini(NUFACT) and
-- STFC MICE team has been recognised under the "STFC staff recognition scheme“ * Outstanding work or major contributions to a project; * Those who "go the extra mile"; * Those who make a difference and/or influence others; * Those whose work impacts positively on the future success of their department or area of work; and * Those who have made a real effort to work across departmental boundaries. Clearly our colleagues at RAL and DL have earned recognition in each of these areas. Of course, MICE is a much wider, international team effort and the successes of STFC MICE team reflect the excellence and commitment of the MICE collaboration. To celebrate, Ken Long et al are planning a "MICE briefing" at 14:45 on Friday 01Jun12 during which Andrew Taylor will offer his congratulations. CONGRATULATIONS!
