³ Mandate

Coordination and support of the interconnect works in the LHC tunnel.

The arc extends between DFBA-to-Q7 interconnects (except some activities in the DS area associated to DFBA IC work).

The responsibility begins with the start of the IC work and ends with the closure of the W- and Z-bellows and the leak tightness test.

During subsequent activities - pressure test, flushing and warm ELQA (under responsibility of the AT-MCS Pressure Test Coordinator), cool-down, commissioning, etc. - provision of the necessary support.

³ Activities/ Status by sector

 

Data for General Advancement Plot is counted by number of interventions and grouped by activities as follows:

  • IC preparation: Magnet alignment, IC pre-inspection, IC released for work,
  • Electrical Interconnects & QA per halfcell: PAQ, US weld of spool pieces, brazing of main busbars,
  • Cryo-Lines Welding & Testing: Welding of main busbar lines M1, M2, M3, weld K1 line, K2 line, K3 line, C’ line, X line. Vacuum tests of K lines, C’ line, X line.
  • N-Line package: Insert N line, AIV 1, AIV 2, US welding of N line, weld of large sleeve for N line.
  • Beam Pipes Welding & VAC tests. VAC sector test: Welding of V1, V2, E line and VAC tests V1, V2, E line. RF test magnet chain.
  • Close W bellow and Jumper.
  • VAC test for sector.
