Dear all,

Following are the highlights of the Tuesday meeting on 02/08/2005

1) 16 magents were tested last week.These include 12 dipoles( 3 with MM) and 4 SSS (without MM and SSW)

2) Nick informed that TB2 is being converted for testing dipole.This dipole has special shaft with temperature sensors .Magnet and sensors are ready and we are waiting for bench to be ready.Salem and Fredrico will be doing testing for this.

Further TB1 will have connection cryostat.Out of approximately 30, may be only one will be tested here.Mainly HV test will be done on this and no power test.

3) Nicholy informed that D2 will be cooled down for SSW and further tests will be decided in consultaion with Marco.

4) SSS036 has again failed in HV tests after 5th run. SSS195 and SS152 have been signed for standby even though it has passed the power test. Nicholoy will be looking into this.

5) Testing of 2051 has taken more than normal time as special tests like optical tests and extra HV Vclamp vs diode were carried out.

6) Fatigue test was done on SSS217 and for 3336 both warm and cold SSW were carried out .Further silver shoe repair was done on D2 before bringing Q4 SSS607

Operational problems encounterd in last week

1)On TBB2,there was PC fault because of that PT4 could not be launched. Eric informed that emergency button was not retracted after PO crew attended the problem of rotary switch.Problem was solved after retracting the emegency red button.

2) Salem informed that relay for interconnection switch for TBF2 is not available in spare .Hence we will have to manage with the temporary arrangement for changing the interconnection .

3) On TBC2 ,power application did not stop at 12000A,it continued ramping to 12850.Eric suggested checking of software for launching the test with correct parameters.

4) On TBA2 ,MM1 could not be launched as interconnections between TRU , Mobile rack and bench were not correct.This was because of the confusing labels on the cables.Equipment support has been informed to do labeling again.

5)On TBA2 QLOC card offset could not adjusted .Fredrico attended the problem and solved the bad contact problem.

That is all for this week.

Have a nice week ahead.

Best regards

Sanjeev Sharma
