� Status of the projects in 2012� Outlooks in 2013


«Workshop & Clean room» activitiesCoralie, Laurent *(substituted FLORIAN who left for a deserved retirement), Maarten, Reynald (left our team to join the Central workshop) Franco and M'Barka working on EMR (temporary)*Substitution of Laurent is ongoing.

Mechanical Design & DevelopmentFlorian,Gérard,Laurent, and Maarten in overlap with Workshop activitiesSébastien MICHAL (Engineer, between CERN and DPNC)William SEEZ (1 year student at DPNC in ATLAS group) Franck (Head of the group)

… without forgetting Catherine, Liliane, Nathalie, Marie-Anne,our “Central” workshops, and Yann !

big THANKS for the good job!

Mechanics Group Situation and Evolutions in 2012


ATLAS (IBL project), EMR (Final assembly)POLAR (Qualification models)CTA (Detector plane)

Towards futures projects...• AFP (ATLAS)• DAMPE (Space Experiment_China)• LOFT (Space Experiment_ ESA)• AIDA and Mu3e (Neutrinos)

Mechanics Group Projects in 2012 and beyond ...


Mechanics Group Highlights in 2012

Status of the work in 2012:- The whole process of loading has been validated on STAVE0-A and 0-B- Loading tools have been « fine tuned » and ready for Stave assembly- 25 Staves to be equipped in 2013 , IBL installation to be completed by end of 2013 (tight!)

IBL_MPC

What has been done in 2012?- Fabrication and Assembly of the IBL_MPC- Design of the whole IBL integration stand - IBL_MPC needed for Stave integration in September 2013


EMR project (on MICE @ Rutherford Appelton Lab)EMR project (on MICE @ Rutherford Appelton Lab)

EMR

2012 status :- Complete modification on « Bar to PMT connections » (10% losses in 2011)- Led to new developments on fiber optics connectors(of interest for future Neutrinos projects!)… Such as AIDA projects

- EMR completion by Spring 2013 (and move to other businesses)- Installation @ RAL is driven by the Supra Conductive magnet delivery


EMR as tested in 2011 @ RAL(only 3 modules equipped)

• 2832 bars, • 48 planes (X+Y)• Detection vol.:

1m x1m x80cm

POLAR project (on TG#2, Chinese Space Station)2 Qualification Models (QM) have been built in 2012


UNIGE responsibilities in 2012• Overall Design is completed • Thermal studies OK• QM1 sent to China in November 2012• QM2 (=QM1) used for Beam tests at

ESRF (Grenoble, last week)

QM2 @ DPNC

Thermal FEA

• Slight modifications on QM2 Electronics • QM2 to go for Space Qualification tests

in 2013 : EMC, Acceleration, Vibration, TVT.


Mechanics Group Development on CTA camera

Based on a CAD model from the Polish Group…• DPNC is working on the camera Detector plane• Camera Shutter has been installed by DPNC on FACT (Canary)• First R&D on the Winston Cones + Mechanics
