9TH MEETING FOR RFQ COOLER AND BUNCHER AT ISOLDE PROJECT

MECHANICAL MEETING 29-08-03

Present: A. Jokinen, M. Lindroos, J. Pier-Amory, I. Podadera.

Goal: To establish the mechanical structure and the time estimation for the project

Miscellaneous:

Everybody agrees that Jacques should support me looking at the concept of the mechanical design.
Mats reports Ivan that he should ask Simon for a card to the magazine.
Ivan should write a little report (3-4 lines) about the support and kind of work needed for the assembly of the pieces for the RFQCB in building 275 in order that a technician with general knowledge help him during the assembly.
Mats proposes that Ivan joins to some experiments at Jyväskylä during the beginning of next year (February).

Technical questions:

Jacques affirms that the time estimation for the fabrication drawings is of 4 months at full-time.
Ari doesn’t have any problem if we use ISO-K flanges with KALREZ instead of CF flanges if people from vacuum group accept it and agree.
Jacques remembers that if we use CF flanges, they are very heavy and probably we would need some support to install them.
Jacques remembers the question of the alignment of all the beam line at ISOLDE since if maybe it’s impossible to see through the switchyard and we should use spheres to align the beam (to locate our RFQCB!). A discussion with J.C. Gayde is required. Jacques also proposes to redesign this switchyard.

Cost:

The cost of the row material inside the fabrication cost is only just around one tenth (1/10) of the cost.
Mats says that due to the delay in the fundings for the project, the vacuum system must wait but the fabrication can go ahead.
Mats requests from Jacques an estimation of the time that he estimates that he will be supporting Ivan until Christmas. Mats affirms that he can cover Jacques but not full-time.
