sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

["Yip, Kin" <kinyip AT bnl.gov>]

Hi,

 

1. Paul Orfin reported yesterday that the vacuum jacket for the spool #5 was installed over the weekend and the leak check was done earlier in the week.  The work for all the spools #1 .. #5 were finally
   completed earlier yesterday when the crew came to clean up everything.
   
   Today (Thursday), I went to take 1008 and take a couple pictures.  If you compare with this photo (which shows the end of spool #4) :

   you can see that this spool #5 drops vertically down to the Cryo Deck :

               and after the spool #5 reaches the Cryo Deck, it seems to turn 90 deg. on the Cryo deck:

2. Since we discussed the restraints for the Valvebox, by chance I went to 1008 Trailer to check with Frank Toldo again.  I took a picture of all the pieces (after I took them out and lay them on a table).
   We put them back to the shelf after taking the picture.  It’s good to take a look once a year, I guess, to make sure that they’re still there 😊

 

 

Now, it’s just about the time to do the free COVID-19 PCR test in the Lab.  …..
