Schedule:

Much work to do, many details Electronics, trigger, DAQ Will push HARD to preserve cosmic test in

July

Missed, but close

At risk, but ‘project’ OK

Conclusions

TOF0/1 counter construction is progressing; readout scheme worked out; software issues tackledsome installation issues to be spotted outlaser calibration system to be finalizedstill some delays arising from INFN situation not fully worked out (NTA approval, funding [up to now we are at 0 E] …)

J une 16, 2007 Wrap-up and Action I tems-Zisman 3

I ntroduction (1)•Progress continues

— spectrometer solenoid fabrication well under wayofirst magnet delayed, hopefully by December 2007

Center, E1, M1 windings complete Cryomech compressor at vendor

J une 16, 2007 Wrap-up and Action I tems-Zisman 9

I ntroduction (7)•Reached important milestone

Delivered to R12: 15Nov07 Integrated into cosmic test 22Nov07

Cosmic test starts:09Nov07

Status: layout ‘issue C’:

Excellent progress, but, much to doLooking forward:

Need to plan and prepare carefully!

Planning & organisation!

(Headlines) Looking forward: Phase 1:

Upstream beam line: Target:

Negotiate running in January Dust issue

Install services Q1 – 3, D2:

Vacuum vessels Alignment Sevices (power, water)

Instrumentation Downsteam beam line:

D2, Q4 – 5, Q6 – 9 Services Magnet refurbishment, magnetic testing

Instrumentation: TOF0/TOF1 CKOV

Stands Tracker DAQ Spectrometer solenoid

Infrastructure: PPS MLCR Magnetic sheilding False floor, plinth Rolling platforms Air-conditioning De-mineralised water Electrical services Network services Data link and data storage

Phase II: Absorber/focus-coil module:

Absorber Focus coils Integration

RFCC module: Cavity R&D (MuCool) Cavity design finalisation Cavity fabrication Coupling coil manufacture Integration

RF power: 4*2 MW amplfiers

Missing: driver amplifier Distribution system

Vacuum: Vacuum infrastructure

Liquid-hydrogen 4 production systems

Infrastructure: Cable management Cryogenic management

Organisation:

Project Manager/Technical Coordinatorand MICE Operations Managers

Collaboration Board

Project-management team:

Acting Project Manager: K. Long Managing the work in the MICE Hall:

Weekly ‘MICE Hall Planning Meetings’: Tuesday’s 09:00 Anyone wishing to carry out work in Hall MUST attend:

Parallel working all need to be aware/cooperate One of the CDM ‘controls’

To be chaired by Hall Manager From week after next Chaired to date by KL

W. Spensley will take over after Christmas Shutdown Reviews work done Identifies work to be done:

Agrees priorities Agrees resources Identifies potential conflicts Assigns responsibilities

Project-management: arrangements:

MHPM o/p example:

Project-management: arrangements: Have initiated ‘bottom-up’ review of MICE WBS:

Assign/confirm responsibility for the various tasks Ensure schedules are planned by those responsible for

carrying them out Ensure resource requirements are discussed

To do this have initiated: Weekly ‘MICE Schedule Planning Meetings’

Thursday’s 13:30 Gathers schedule information and prepares/discusses

schedules for i/p to, consideration by Technical Board Have begun with MICE Muon Beam and MICE Hall

This week (13Sep07) MICO meeting, so begin to expand into international MICE deliverables

To be chaired by Project Manager Presently chaired by KL To be chaired after CM19 (Oct07) by RA/AN

Work breakdown structure: revision

Plan for this week: Review at TB Present revised version to CB

Critical path & risk:

Phase I: … getting it done

Phase II: WORK SMART

Schedule revision: Revision of schedule started:

Phase I: Since July, through MSPM and MICO meetings

Phase II: Initiated at CM18 Next step this week

Delayed because of pressure of work

Original goal: ‘Baseline’ schedule at CM19 TB agree schedule review date this week

Schedule revision: example:

Uses: Monitor progress Review resource assignments

For Q35s have: Parallelised preparation Increased effort

Q35 refurbishment:

Goal:

All six ready at endof Christmas shutdown

Christmas shutdown: Hayler

Technical Board:

After TB discussion → CB

Review membership: TB meeting

Review modus operandi: TB meeting

Significant progress since CM18: Technical:

All aspects of MICE project: Phase I Phase II

Organisational: New Project Management team in place

Even more to do: As acting Project Manager, I’ve enjoyed:

Strong support from MICE collaboration Local MICE team The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (ASTeC, ISIS, PPD, TBU, …)

For the project to succeed: Richard and Andy must enjoy the same support

I am confident that MICE will drive the project through!
