Beam line and vacuum

Vacuum tests are under way with the blue tank closed up to straw 4, but without the control system.

The beam line elements are back, apart from the TCX and one QNRB at the beginning of the line. These will be put back and realigned, ideally as soon as the T10 consolidation is completed, hopefully soon. The GTK vacuum chambers must be installed before the end if July.

Beam line vacuum connection and tests can start any time, apart from the front end.

The installation of the double wall / airlock between TCC8 and ECN3 must start now, including the smaller section in GL300.

The big fiscs remain to be installed, once the MUV1 situation is clarified.

NA62 installation

The detector installation is in full swing.

One major activity is the installation of the mirrors inside the RICH. This concerns mainly the NA62 collaborators.

Straw-4 shall arrive in about a month from now. The vacuum commissioning has then to be interrupted and will restart as soon sa the tank is closed again, this time with the control system.

The IRC is on the critical path. The MUV1 also and it remains to be decided if it will be installed for the 2014 run or not.
