Minutes of the IR FEL Beam Transport Meeting, January 9, 1997

Next Meeting: Thursday January 2, in Room 84, Trailer City at 1:30 P.M.

ATTENDEES: G. Biallas, C. Bohn, L. Dillon-Townes, G. Krafft, C. Murray, G. Neil, M. Wiseman

Schedule Comments, Decisions and other Comments:

D. Douglas gave the specification for zeroing field in the dipoles at the switching positions for dump lines as 1 Gauss-magnet length integral BDL.

Action Items:

G. Biallas - Get the BT contracts signed. Contracts needed to be changed to new DIMAD configuration. No progress on contracts. Six requirements documents for girders are published on the web and being sent email to appropriate persons.

L. Dillon-Townes - Respond to recommendations of the Vacuum review. The remaining items has to be closed out with a memo

G. Biallas - Get recirculation dipoles designed by Northrop Grumman's V. Christina per the schedule. Optical Chicane Dipole at the 98 % level.

- Best guess at length of steel to magnetic length now adds 0.9 x Gap to the steel length rather than the 1.1 we have used before. This adds .2 inches to each side of all magnets. Vinnie is being notified and it changes coil lengths. Changes from this point are in the second digit which will be handled by adjustments to the steel only.

- The Pi Bend and the Reverse Bends were both made wider in the gap on each side by 1 inch at the entrance to approximate the greater width necessary to keep the fringe field the widest beam sees within specification. J. Karn will be testing the prototype for this number but the drawings have to be made now.

- New dimensions including the new dimad requirments and both the above were given to Vinnie for production drawings.

G. Neil - Have cable tray layout complete by Oct. 21. Cable tray drawing needs update of tray jogged toward isle at the optical pipe but is in all other ways ready for signature.

G. Biallas - Hold the Design Review on Monday, Nov. 18. This needs to be closed out by next week. G. Biallas to schedule.

L. Dillon-Townes - Order the entire stock of required vacuum hardware (including bolts and gaskets) In process.

M. Wiseman - Design X Chamber that is straightforward to build by last week in November. Most drawings signed off, Cookie cutter needs some additional work.

Group - Obtain 4 inch dia. quads for Recirculation Dump. G. Biallas to find if D. Walz has any extra Wrap-Around-Quads at SLAC. S. Benson will talk to D. Nguyen at Los Alamos

G. Biallas - Respond to the Cavity Production Group not providing cleaning resources. J. Parkinson and E. Feldl will submit their needs.

L. Dillon-Townes & J. Parkinson - Get HEPA hoods lined up for vacuum installation

K Jordan/J. Karn - Run the cable from ITS to the Magnet Test Stand and test magnets using the epics control to provide true simulation of running conditions In process.

New Action Items :

G. Biallas - Add 3 # 18 wre turns to the dipoles that are candidates for zeroing.

Completed Action Items :

G. Biallas - Publish with W. Merz, the projected voltage and current on all magnets and define the hysteresis cycle. Complete.New Action Items for the Vacuum Meeting:

None

Summary of Vacuum Meeting Review:

No Meeting this week

New Action Items from the Diagnostics/Commissioning Meeting:

K. Jordan - Freeze equipment assignment by end of December

Web Items:

G. Biallas - Get a hot button for bunch lengths from D. Douglas' work on the Web.
