sPHENIX discussion of the superconducting solenoid

["Streckenbach, Brian" <bstreckenbach AT bnl.gov>]

I talked with Ray,

He is going to clear the scaffold and clean up the area in preparation for the rigging and the new scaffold to be built.

Ray will put all hardware and doors on the floor in the immediate area, probably between the concrete blocks.

Ray if you want to take a picture once all the stuff is collected, you can reply to this and we’ll have it “tracked” as to where you put it.

 

That way it gives our workers the freedom to move the valvebox and scaffold as needed.

Any questions give me a call

5349

 

Once this is done I can let the rigging supervisor know, and we can proceed with the modifications.

Thanks

Brian

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.

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 ???
