sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

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

Hi Paul,

 

Ray, Frank Toldo, (his right-hand man) Aaron, Tom Tallerico and myself were all there.  We found the screws/bolts, o-rings

and the brown heat shield on each side of the panels/doors that were taken off ~2 weeks ago.   I showed you in one picture.

 

We discussed a bit among 5 of us.   The consensus seems that it seems safe to leave all these in the elevated scaffolding area.

It’s kind of difficult to get to those things … somebody need some determination and bad intention to steal those things and can’t

be done by accident.   ( Ray commented that though we can re-use those o-rings, we can make new ones.  He gave us a 1 minute

lecture about how to make big new o-rings by buying the  materials and gluing the head and tail togetjer 😊 )

Panels were on the scaffold and I believe a bag of the o-ring seals were there too. I don’t recall seeing the bolts so I will ask who has them.  

 

Thank you,

I have to upload the videos. I do not know what happened with the physical prts. Thanks Tom

Hi,

 

Did you guys take video or something like that ?   Did Ray leave the tools with you ?   You are responsible for keeping the stuff that you took apart, right ??? 

( Just to try to avoid losing any stuff !  😊 )

Yes.  Ray helped and doors are open.  We have a plan for the Coax split after reviewing it with the welders and techs.

Hi,

 

Somehow, I’ve never remembered to go to check …

 

What happened to the Valvebox work ?   Has the scaffolding been built ?  If so, has Ray Ceruti helped you open the two doors ???
