sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

[Kin Yip <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

Hello Ray,

Thanks for coming down again to prepare for the Valvebox installation (installing the Indium ...).   I understand that you're now fully ready.
I've just found out from Dave that though we saw the carpenters this morning who have put up the vertical hand-rails, they have been pulled
away to do an "emergency job" in LEReC this afternoon.   Dave said hopefully, they'll work OverTime on Fri./Sat. to finish our job (the hand-rails
... probably just the horizontal rails are left to be done).

So, we can't really install the valvebox tomorrow (Fri.) and we have to do it next Monday unfortunately :-)

I complained to Bill Christie when I ran into him in the corridor and let my disappointment be known.    But my "constant" disappointment
may have become "useless" these days .... :-(    [ The last meter/metre seems to be very long as you can always finish only 1/2 and then 3/4 and
then 7/8 and then 15/16, ..... which goes on indefinitely in principle ! ]

Hello,

The riggers this week are in 912 working for moving the Steel pieces or the Valvebox.  So whenever we're ready to move the Valvebox, we should have the riggers.

I'm more optimistic than Dave.   Dave is expecting maybe Friday afternoon.  We'll contact you tomorrow morning to figure an exact time.

Is this OK ??

Hi Kin and Dave,

 

    Are you looking to do this valve box dog and pony show Friday (10/13)?  If so, what time will the riggers be available to lift the unit into place?

 

Regards,

Ray
