Procedure for the on-going analysis (1/3) Outcome of the last meeting with R. Aymar & J. Engelen on 10/01/2006: • Instructions for preparing a contribution to the Open Symposium (Orsay, January 30 – February 1) => report published (“Preliminary accelerator plans for maximizing the integrated LHC luminosity”) • Requests for cost estimates and prioritization of the proposed actions => on-going analysis – goal & procedure presented today (3/03/2006) PAF progress
Procedure for the on-going analysis (2/3) Goals: • get estimates and planning from equipment groups • assemble results in synthetic format (typical presentation below) PAF progress
Procedure for the on-going analysis (3/3) Distribution of the tasks PAF progress
Progress and observations (1/2) • Consolidation: to be based on the consolidation programme managed by S. Baird (specific comment: a reasonable scheme of repair for the SPS magnet is proposed.Will be done during shutdown 2006/2007 by re-arranging priorities.) • Improvements: a number of actions are clear and have started being quantified (PS multi-turn ejection, impedance reduction of SPS kickers, PS longitudinal damper), part is unclear (depends on results of machine studies). • Linac4 & PSB: well advanced technical design. Solid base for a first cost estimate assuming no external contribution. Quantification started. • LHC IR: complex because of absence of experimental experience (!) / multiplicity of possibilities / diverging opinions of experts. Multiple interviews with many experts & group leaders to request views on procedure, planning and estimates of resources. PAF progress
Progress and observations (2/2) • PS successor: list of basic parameters for PS2 (normal conducting) is established using some “educated guesses”. Contacts with equipment groups have started. Parameters for PS+ (superconducting) in preparation. • SPS successor: parameters for SPS+ in preparation. • Future n facility: based on “roadmap” established by neutrino community (ISS: 2005-2006, Design Study: 2007-2010, Technical Design: 2011-2013, Construction: 2014-…). Difficulties: need to prepare for submission of a DS proposal to the EU during 2006 (degree of CERN involvement ?) + too limited data to ask for estimates of cost of facility. PAF progress
Summary of observations Technical investigations are not finished • precise parameters are not yet clear + Short time scale forces to simplify the questions • specific options are selected « arbitrarily » + Parallel investigations limit the debate Þlimited accuracy Is it in line with the expectations of the Direction ? PAF progress
Planning üRefinement of the distribution of tasks: February 6 üPresentation to the Direction – request for feedback: end February First sets of results + preliminary list of priorities: March 13 ‘Draft: April 17 O Report: May 22 Is it in line with the expectations of the Direction ? PAF progress
