sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

[Kin Yip <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

Hi,

Thanks Paul for the status report !  I'm just cc-ing to the mailing list to show people (eg. Carl/Pablo/Zeynep/Jon, Sonny/Piyush ...)
that there isn't any delay from the Cryo group :-)  

Push, push, push ... :-)

PS:  I just walked again to the upper platform in 912 and saw a tech working quietly.  I bet when David Lissauer, Achim Franz and
others walked around in 912 yesterday, they didn't climb the staircases and therefore might have missed somebody working at the
top platform.    I didn't see the tech before I really climbed to the top.  Even one climbing only ~90% of the staircase might not have
noticed the tech.

All,

 

We have made significant progress and hope to do a pressure test next week once we get control of the valves.  The majority of the mechanical tasks have been completed. We had one technician working into his lunch today.  I left the platform at 12pm and he was still there.  Electrical tasks are progressing well also.  At this point, we should be ready for a safety walk through on the 17^th. 

Thank you, Paul Orfin
