8 pack meeting notes – September 18th 2001

Agenda:

1) Specifications needed by systems to develop design, budget and schedule.

 

Minutes:

 

1.      Vacuum Instrumentation – E. Hamner

a.      Needs to know what gauges are needed and how many of them are needed for the SLED and DLDS systems.  Needs count from C. Rago

b.      Need to understand the valve structure.  Will have meeting to determine valve locations.

c.      Need early purchase of 6 crates of Kaiser power supplies at 8k$/crate.

2.      Racks – M. Ortega

a.      Need more details of what is in the racks.  Have input from LLRF, Controls and Vacuum. 

b.      Modulator/Klystron rack needs and placement should be specified with in regards to machine protection equipment.  Cassel will provide spec after getting input from Klystron.

c.      Need overall power requirements, so they can be passed to conventional facilities.

3.      Modulator –  R. Cassel

a.      Need power requirements for XP-3s from Klystron group, so modulator power supply specification can be determined.

b.      Need to know what klystron interlocks will be inputs to the M-K interlock system. 

c.      M-K system design is being discussed.  There is an ongoing discussion as to what parts of the system the LLRF system or the Modulator PLC will pickup. 

4.      Controls –  R. Chestnut

a.      Need to determine what parts of the controls system will be EPICS and what will be CAMAC. 

b.      The control system requirements of the 8 Pack project are not clear, but the controls group is gearing up to use EPICS heavily

c.      Need experimental DAQ requirements.   There is a meeting on 9/19/01 to determine these needs.

d.        Need system interlock requirements.  Need to understand modulator PLC and LLRF interface.  This is being discussed, see 3c.  

5.      LLRF –  S. Smith

a.      Need channel count and bandwidth determination for channels.  Frisch will give first pass answer within the next day.

6.      RF Distribution –  S. Marnock

a.      SLED parts list and layout are mostly finished.  List should be done this week and the component layout by early next week.

b.      Need tolerance for DLDS pipe from Nantista in 1-2 weeks, so this can be purchased.

c.      Need manufacturing schedule for SLED parts.

7.      Cable Plant -  P. Rodriguiz

a.      Need to have cable plant design in a few weeks if work is to begin in January.

b.      Need to know how high the raised floor around the racks, 4 and 8 pack  will be and what utilities will be put underneath.  It is thought that most utilities will be put there. 

8.      Conventional Facilities – J. Sevilla

a.      Will be able to get power for 8-Pack without interrupting NLCTA

b.      Preliminary calculations for water system show a need for 300 g/min which should not require any new pumps if End Station A and Spear don’t have any new water requirements.

c.      Will report on raised floor proposal and electrical power designs next week.
