FNAL CALICE Project Status and Future Plans: Progress Update

The CALICE project at FNAL is progressing well, with key team members and engineers from DESY on-site. After receiving two large containers on April 10, we now await the scintillator layers for HCAL, expected shortly. By April 20, we aim to complete the installation of the movable stage and other essential components. Following next week’s commissioning and installation phases, we’ll conduct a final inspection on April 25, paving the way for beam exposure. The data-taking period will commence on May 7, gathering crucial data for calibration and cross-referencing with CERN findings.

  1. FNAL Status and Plans • So far the calice crew at FNAL is: • Niels Meyer, Beni Lutz, Sven Karstensen, Roman Poeschl, Alex Kaplan, GeorgiosMavromanolakis, Vishnu Zutshi + 3 desy engineers/technicians • On 10 Apr the two big containers arrived on site. They contained the main movable stage, the hcal structure, the ecal, pc's, crates etc. • 1 container with the scintillator layers of the hcal is delayed. Its arrival is expected in a couple of days. • The current status of the installation at the control room and at the beamline is as follows: • the installation and cabling of the pc's at the control room is now complete. The local calice network is up. Issues with grid and local data storage is on track. • By the end of this week (20 Apr) we expect to finish • - the assembly/installation of the movable stage • - put it in its final position in the beamline and then the tailcatcher can be put in place • - installation/cabling of the hcal modules

  2. FNAL Status and Plans • Next week (21 Apr) we plan to have the installation of the ecal, the hcal+tcmt commissioning, the installation/commissioning of the drift chambers and the trigger setup. • All setup should be installed by 24 Apr (DESY technicians leave on 24) • On Fri 25 Apr we have scheduled the final inspection and the official safety review. We pass it and we can expose our detectors to the beam. • The week from 28 Apr we plan to have the first hands-on experience with the beam and the full setup. If everything goes according to expectations on Mon 5-Tue 6 May we plan to have the final beam tuning. • On Wed 7 May the official data taking period starts with 12hr shiftsfor 3 weeks. • The first data taking period at FNAL is thought as a cross reference with the CERN data. The main aim of the first 3 weeks (May run) is to cover some of the points in energy/angle/perticle type that have been collected at Cern in 2007. Also we will collect muon data for calibration. • After the May run the next data taking period for another 3 weeks is planned to start on Wed 9 July.
