PIP Status Report

Presented by F. G. Garcia on behalf of PIP Group

Shutdown 2012 Activities – Booster Status Report

PIP - Booster• Booster RF Solid State Upgrade

• About 50% stations have been converted to SS• (BRF[1-8] and BRF12, BRF19)

• Cavity refurbishment• 5% cavity refurbished

• installed 5/2/2012 Located at L17• BRF7 cavity testing started last Friday, 6/29.• Two more cavities removed from the tunnel to be worked next

• BRF5 has been moved to MI60 and the other (BRF6) remains in the tunnel.• Utilities / LCW

• The candy cane and choke tubing jobs are done for now, still need a few repairs. • The Booster LCW system schedule to be drained starting today.

• Proceeding with • proceeding with

• BRF valve replacements, • magnet valve replacements and • strainer installation.

Shutdown 2012 Activities – Linac Status Report

PIP - Linac

• Substation– All approval drawings submitted– Testing is expected to take place August 8-10– Delivery will occur soon after testing is

completed• MCC

– All approval drawings submitted– Expected arrival date of Mid to Late August

• Drawings approved on 5/30/2012

• Cable– All cable delivered– Stored in LINAC– 350 MCM will be stored at warehouse until

installation is closer• Panel board

– Delivered– Needs to be assembled

• Safety Switches– Delivered – Stored in LINAC

• Cable Supports– Delivered– Stored in LINAC

• Support Structures– Will be built out of unistrut– Assembly has not yet begun– Support frames will be built in house

• Junction Box– Drawing is complete– Fabrication companies have yet to respond

• Since only one needs to be ordered it is unlikely that a company will construct this enclosure

• Will be submitting the drawing to the machine shop soon

Power Distribution L1 Transformer Upgrade and MCC

PIP - LinacInstrumentation BPM

Project Scope• Update existing RF electronics with

Digital electronics– FPGA, ADC, Digital Signal

Processing– Long term stability– Flexibility to modify system as

needed • Implement calibration system to

improve long-term stability• Implement phase measurement for

Time of Flight/Energy measurement

• Replaced one full crate before shutdown– 6 Pickups – D02, D03, D04, D11, D72, D73,– Position, Intensity, and Phase readback to

ACNET

Current Status• Received first fully production board

before shutdown for checkout• Found error in PCB

– Require remaking 80 PCB– $5k additional cost– $10k additional cost due to parts

• New PCBs in production

PIP - LinacVacuum System

• Purchased two large blower stations. To be installed this shutdown• Approval to proceed with A0 dewar repair. PO written and submitted.

7835 Procurement

• Purchased two new 7835 tubes • Both tubes have been received. Appropriated stored awaiting RF testing.

Shutdown 2012 Activities – RFQ Status Report

PIP - RFQ• RFQ energy investigation

– Manufacturer making thinner rods– Independent simulations show ~5% energy loss at the extraction gap

End plate removed: Preliminary measured energy = (756.5 ± 0.5) keV

Current Status:Still planning to install thinner rodsMore adjustments on the RFQ and tests continue on efficiency and capture
