sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

["Anerella, Michael D" <mda AT bnl.gov>]

If you tighten supports after you develop vacuum do you loosen them before you dump vacuum?  Is this what SLAC did?

Hi,

 

Jim just sent me email that they are waiting for you to start pumping down so that they can do the final tightening of the Cryostat supports.

 

Ray already closed the doghouse yesterday as our email(s)  indicated.  Nothing should prevent you from pumping down now.

All,

 

I want to verify we can start pumping down the insulating vacuum.  We are testing now but would like to leave it on when we are done.

 

 

Thank you,
