From GlueXWiki
Notes and To-Do lists for the 2009/2010/2011 solenoid coil tests
Contents
Meetings
Project Milestones
- Solenoid Test Milestones, 12 GeV milestones to be tracked by project management office.
- obsolete at this point, given all the additional work required, lack of manpower, and the many delays
FastTrack
- George created an overall FastTrack solenoid schedule in M:/halld/solenoid/FastTrack Schedules.
- Tom worked out a bottoms-up schedule for all coil test tasks.
- Chuck merged the two and is responsible for maintaining and updating the combined schedule.
System Diagrams and Related Documents
- George put these in M:/halld/solenoid/Controls.
Electronic Log
Notes on Schedule
- We likely will get use of the QWeak area by Feb 2010.
- Installation can begin once coil 1 repair/testing is complete, by 15-Apr-2010. Coil 3 at IUCF should be ready about the same time.
- Critical path item is the cryo can, scheduled for delivery in Jun 2010. Should be able to go cold one month after delivery.
- Tom estimates 12 weeks turn-around per coil, with testing completed in Jun 2011. Given the delays in the Hall D building this should not be a problem.

Test Area
- Notes:
- Area in the test lab is 20'6" x 25'9", currently filled with coils and coil parts.

- May need to remove some fences.
- Magnet forces: 5 kG == 1 Atm, scales as square of B field.
- When done, may leave infrastructure in place for magnet tests for other halls.
- Coil center located 1/3 of the way along the long axis of our test area.
