Downstream spectrometer solenoid base plate
installation complete
All step IV base plates installed:
Upstream spectrometer base plate (in beam and out of beam)
AFC base plate (in beam and out of beam)
Downstream spectrometer base plate (in beam only, there will be no
possibility of moving the downstream spectrometer out of beam)

TOF cage and Virostek plate bracket design complete
Detail drawings of the bracket
design are complete.
We have worked closely with the
Spectrometer team to make sure all
the necessary compliance is in the
design e.g. The way the brackets
fasten to the Spectrometer and
positioning of the TOF cage.
Currently going through the
tendering process.
Expect delivery in march 2012

TOF cage and Virostek plate test support stand
Support frame to test:
• The bracket assembly to
the TOF cage and Virostek
plate.
• TOF detector assembly,
movement of the detector
on the sliding mechanism.
• The mechanical arm for
removing the split ring
•Expect the need to do
some re-work on the
Virostek plates, split rings,
drill and tap holes, some
machining
Tim Hayler
Expect to start the build in
March 2012

AFC rolling platform tests complete
Testing specification for the MICE
Moving Platform:
• Ensure the platform raises and
lowers and moves horizontally
• Leak check/pressure drop check
(Hydraulic system)
• Ensure the platform raises
sufficiently to permit moving the
unit without interference
• Visual inspection of components
under load regarding deformation
• There are no unforeseen failures
of components
• The moving of the platform along
its intended path

AFC rolling platform tests complete
4 tonne load test done at Daresbury Lab
Hydraulic jacks raise the
platform.
Roller stakes move the
platform in and out of the
beam.
Final testing needs to be
done in the MICE hall
early 2012

Spectrometer Solenoid stand
Support frame
design is being
worked on at RAL
with close
collaboration
with the
Spectrometer
team

Spectrometer Solenoid stand
The Spectrometer team
will now provide the SS
with just the four support
feet shown. This helps with
shipping issues.
The frame will be built in the UK and
installed in the MICE hall as part of
the Step IV build

Local magnetic shielding for the MICE hall compressors
and beyond
Prototype being made in
mild steel for a fit check

Ready for AFC and SS installation
30/03/2011
• The readiness date for the AFC and SS installation is very
much dependant on the MICE hall schedule of events.
• We want to install all the moving platforms for step IV
• Can we move the KL detector downstream to progress the
Engineering build in the first SS position? First raised at the
TB, 21st Nov meeting, slides by Ken Long
http://mice.iit.edu/tb/Meetings/2011-11-21/
• Are we taking beam in the first quarter of 2012?
• What is the Hydrogen project doing?
• What other work is scheduled for the first quarter 2012?
• In building up the Infrastructure we would expect unknowns,
items lost and unforeseen events. It would be very useful to
start the work in January.
