  1. Spokesmouse report VC 20 January Next Collaboration meetings: 15-18 Feb 2011@ RAL Organization: Victoria Blackmore, A.B., Mary Elizabeth Shewry please register. Agenda is on the web. Please let us know or Session conveners -- David Colling for software -- Andy Nichols for Engineering and Magnets -- John Cobb For Analysis -- JSG for Online 6-9 July in Oxford (UK) Organization John Cobb et al 28-31 October 2011 in Oxford (Mississippi) organization Don Summers, Lucien Cremaldi et al. Committees: the Funding agency committee was postponed to 21 January 2011 Need to send short report on 7 January Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  2. The Spectrometer Solenoid review documentation http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=110250 reviewers: Amalia Ballarino – CERN , Elwyn Baynham – ITER, Tom Bradshaw – STFC, Mike Courthold – STFC, Vladimir Kashikhin – Fermilab, Robert Sanders – Fermilab and Pasquale Fabbricatore acting as chair –INFN-Genova). MICE collaboration members attended the review Alain Blondel– UNi Geneva, Alan Bross – FERMILAB Andy Nichols – SFTC Review began 27 October (where repair plan was described by Steve Virostek) intermediate meetings 11 Nov and 29 Nov. Final report on 14 December MICE note 335 has all information about the review (incl. proposal for repair plan) Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  3. The Spectrometer Solenoid review • Main conclusions: • Review committee acknowledges additional staff put by LBNL to magnet • needs to intensify these contributions • The review committee does not recommend moving forward with repair plan but before doing so • A-- to complete the thermal model calculations • B– to study an effective protection of the magnets and particularly of the leads • This last point is seen as quite critical • Now SS team will study the recommendations of the panel, evaluate consequences • not quite ready yet. Main issue is calculation of needs concerning quench protection • time to execute  additional delay of a few months. • costs (almost 1M$ cost-to-complete for the two spectrometers) • According to original plan (including magnetic measts) we would expect delivery • at RAL of SS1 in Oct11 and SS2 in Mar12 • a delay of a few more months to complete/approve the plan Berkeley team has proposed to execute already a certain amount work not.inconsistent with review recommendations to improve schedule Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  4. MOM 2011 we have restarted MOMs on 17 January (needed when ISIS is running) goals for 2011 : commission new target (Champion: target group) increase beam loss limit (Champion: target group) commission EMR (June-August) (Champion: EMR group) complement Step I measurements if necessary (Champion: Apollonio) TOF and KL calibrations (Champion Maurizio) See preliminary plan of activities data taking  to be finalized at CM29 with input from installation team Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  5. ISIS running periods, MICE CM29/30/31 and MOM Rota proposed MICE runs in 2011  to be finalized at CM29 First semester Second semester Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  6. Coupling coils review took place in Mid december. First coil has been wound at Qi Huan  Serious concerns about delays at HIT for testing cryostat. milestones given in June 2010: Complete winding of MuCool coil on mandrel ICST 9/30/10  finished in december 2010 – not bad. Complete testing of large test coil in ICST test facility ICST 11/30/10  delayed till at least September 2011…. The next occasion: visit of Derun Li in February 2011. At the same time, US team now investigating/developing a back-up plan for the construction/test/assembly of the coupling coils. Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  7. MICE overall magnet coordination It has been felt necessary (since May 2010) to have an overall coordination of the MICE magnets. Team will be led by Roy Preece and Mike Courthold. They have agreed. Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010

  8. Develop complete understanding of Step 1 data continue efforts to study increased intensity/beam loss regime produce first MICE paper ! (NB need to specify content more precisely) Simulations of measurements needed for Steps 3-4 Resolve external field issue for Step 6 solenoid mode Fully develop magnetic measurement needs and plan in writing! Review and approve spectrometer solenoid repair plan Complete, review, and approve CC cryostat design Assess progress of CC cold mass fab + HIT test facility Prepare test plan for RF cavities Monitor progress on EMR fabrication and impact on infrastructure By Next Meeting From Mike Zisman’s wrap up. Alain Blondel MICE VC 16 December 2010
