Minutes
Attendance:
- status of segmented vs. hybrid downselect
- meet with change control board just before Christmas (Dec. 15)
- downselect by end of November
- couple page report, Pugh matrix
- prioritize what is important for the downselect
- issues
- coil forces
- blocky models for upstream and several for segmented ds
- improved winding design for US (more realistic, with leads)
- second blocky for the US torus (b/c exceeded J) w/ 6 turns
- section views down the length with clearances
- when will need new envelopes (what is the turnaround time?)
- clearances with current envelopes are good enough for hybrid vs. segmented downselect
- meet with change control board just before Christmas (Dec. 15)
- CTD450 summary
- CTD 403 - literature search - best resin (cyanate esther) to use
- conductor half-lapped with S- or E- glass cloth (probably S, b/c better with CTD403)
- tests on short-beam shear stress at CERN (but at 4K)
- what about 70 degrees?
- primed with CTD 450 - stronger initially
- the stresses are ~11 MPa (during curing and cool-down)
- thermal stresses during operation ~5 MPa
- stresses at corners ~25 MPa
- primed w/ CTD 450 (assuming 15% reduction in strength) is 61 MPa final shear strength
- can we do stress tests with thermal cycling and dose?
- need to make sure we have checked with worst-case offsets (I think we have)
- 70 C, vacuum pumping, irradiation - trying our best to destroy it!
- physicists will read the dose/strength papers
- optimization of the upstream collimator region
- merging - Chandan (not here)
- shielding - Naz
- may be possible to reduce the weight of the W plates by optimizing
- nose shield can still be optimized by increasing the thickness radially inward
- nomenclature
