Old structure The current Collaboration MICE Project Board (CMPB)
monitors and controls– Progress against schedule– Financial progress– Risk– Scope change
Fulfils the role of the “project board” as required by the STFC (exCCLRC) Corporate Project Management Handbook* and the STFC (exPPARC) project management process.
Official forum for frank, constructive discussion between MICE project and STFC, in both its funding and its operational role.
*14 weeks on Times Best-Seller List!

Over the last few months we have realised that the MICE-related committee structure, established before the merger of CCLRC and PPARC to form STFC, was not optimal for MICE in Steps II to VI, which includes major hardware contributions from the collaboration as a whole (not just UK).
Points to be addressed: – Avoid significant duplication between UK-specific PSAG
and CMPB;– Recognise need for “independent” (of MICE and STFC)
oversight of MICE as a whole. (UK Oversight Committee (OsC) has clear, specific UK focus, but is not set up to oversee project as a whole.)
– Separate clearly this independent oversight from management of schedule, costs etc that are done within MICE itself.

After extensive discussion by CMPB and by MICE collaboration, we propose a new body: the MICE Project Board (MPB).
The MPB should act as an ‘oversight’ committee for the project as a whole, and report to the STFC Project Sponsor and to the FAC, replacing the report to FAC by the CMPB.
Membership: – Chair and at least 4 members to cover the following
areas: a cross-member from the UK OsC, a cross-member from MCOG, up to two external experts on RF, superconducting
magnets, accelerator systems, an external expert on project management,
– STFC MICE project officer – ex-officio – representative of STFC Host Laboratory – ex-officio– MICE Spokesperson and Deputy: in attendance

Terms of Reference– To monitor progress of the MICE construction project and
deliverables; – to advise on the progress towards the achievement of scientific
objectives;– to monitor the management of the risks for the MICE construction
project and deliverables; – to make reports to and to advise the Funding Agency Committee
on progress in terms of risks, schedule, and costs, associated with the project and all its deliverables within the available resources;
– to monitor the management of the project where appropriate – to report to the STFC Project Sponsor and the International Funding
Agency Committee.
STFC Science Programme Office (Swindon) is now setting up the new MPB.

MICE – Snapshot of where we AreSpokesmouse
-- decay solenoid now routine operation!-- infrastructure items enormous progress, still need PPS – some other worries-- target target in ISIS working ‘perfectly’ replica still not perfect-- results of Sep09 beam measurements running again! MUONS! beam loss up to 2V! ~40’s/spill/Volt still factor ~25 to go for stepV (was 500)
-- spectrometer solenoid ran 90% current burned High Tc lead -> Apr10/Jul10-- detectors and EMR all OK, TOF2 dec09 EMR in construction -> Jul10-- RF cavity production 5 cavities by dec09-- RF power source First 1MW power amplifier to be tested by Dec09 -- RF power infrastructure still tight MRI proposal: low level RF and piping-- Focus coils necessary modification spotted delivery May 2010 -- hydrogen absorber first absorber completed. LiH system progressing now-- Coupling coils large test coil complete fabrication delegated to Qi Huan (Beijing) Mucool CC end-2010 MICE Q3-Q4 2011 ??? would be great to have these dates by the end of this CM25 not-- DAQ, monitoring software & analysis operational – still much to perfect! Mousepower welcome everywhere
Running MICE~ Non stop from now to 15 August 2010
-- MOMs and shifters are doing a great job-- MOM rota for next year is nearly complete thanks!-- Will need also MOMs for long shut down. Less fun but less constraining.
-- will need shifters as well. P. Kyberd will address request to collaboration.
-- MICE Online Group: Graulich, Graulich, Leaver, Macwaters, Ellis, Hanlet, Coney.
Warning that this is a crucial group (and will remain crucial!)

New/Old MICE MembersNew/Old MICE Members Trieste and Como
Engineering effort liberated at UNIGE due to end of ATLAS
Within EMR effort - most scientist effort still in Como/Trieste
Yet COMO and TRIESTE are not formally part of collaboration. This is an issue because Trieste funding request for
building EMR was refused last year. We learned at FAC that INFN funding could in
principle be supporting CF. Will try to resolve this in coming months
