Agenda

• Summary Update– Current Activities/Updates– Startup Schedule Highlights– Upcoming Talks, Reports, Meetings

Updates/Talks:• Pat Sheahan - Tuner Bias Supplies• Eliana Gianfelice, Meghan McAteer - Plans for

Booster Optics Correction

UpdateGeneral Info

– Booster SS: Up and operating (Date set to close task March 22 – Then operational task • SS Spares still in production – (Driver hardware & Pas ?)

– Booster Absorber – 3rd Kicker up and running – all complete for this 1st stage– Booster Aperture Scans and magnet moves –

• Scans continue – may do another work in a week or two – depending upon studies– Booster RF cavity rework – RF1 work in progress

• 4 Tuners ready – working on cavity/tuners continues• RF15 cooling off in Booster access area• Spare cavity work?• Booster RF Cavity 7 seems to have an RF leak and will likely be removed for repair• Booster RF 8 may also have a RF leak and will need to be tested in the tunnel• Booster West Gallery stations have experienced shunt failures – need to understand problem

– Booster Ferrites – Dennis completed measurements on recent ferrites• Ferrites that did not pass test have been shipped back• Sending back low Frequency tester – modifying fixture to allow easier/safer use• Still need to select high mu ferrite to send to vendors for testing (JSR – needs to select)

– RFQ – Running well – waiting on trim magnet/building source B– Booster Beam Optics Studies to start this week – Talk today– HLRF – looking into how to write a new PO that gets the work started– Linac Modulator – waiting for 9 cell components to arrive – likely a couple of months– Booster Shielding – Working on preliminary write-up, maybe end of next week– MI Startup: no change from last time – June 1st

Startup comments (Fernanda, Todd, Mary) Studies forthcoming?

Upcoming TalksFuture Meetings:

Feb/Mar• To be Scheduled:• Dave Augustine - Vacuum Installations Finished and in Planning • Jean-Paul Carneiro - TraceWin 3D Simulations of the Fermilab

Linac• Bill Pellico - Loss Test Scans for Shielding Assessment • John Reid - Solid State Installation - Final Report • Leonid Vorobiev - ORBIT Simulations on Booster Injection and

Acceleration

Upcoming • Reports (upcoming)– Update of PIP Design Report – Yearly update work

• PIP talks/Special Meetings– Shielding

• Meeting last week to look at data • Working on report• Will meet with safety next week to go over report and data

• Budget Issues – – Working to address cost of spares– Additional Overhead Cost – impact still being looked at– Current schedule update data in – Ken working on it

- Please use the E-Log to put general work in progress updates/photos – weekly would be nice – if progress is being made in task
