Meeting 26 August 2022

PARTICIPANTS: Steven L., Amy, Gabriel, Gyang, Hamlet, Marie, Rolf, Yeran, Bert, Tanja, Mahmoud Gomina

ENGINEERING UPDATE Slides

• CPS prototype - machining complete of testing hardware; testing anticipated to begin in late fall

• TOSCA Modeling

• CPS Coils and Steel Procurement

• CPS magnet and assembly layout

• 3D thermal and fluent model

• initial studies with assumptions on velocity of fluid (1.8m/s), applied field flux (16666666 W/ms) and shape, inlet temperature (298.15K), walls of pole and absorber with convection (5 W/m2K)
• good progress with this testing and verification stage - no profile (optics) yet in

• Fringe fields (magnetic field 1-2 m from center of magnet)

• it's a few hundred Gauss

• Alignment magnet to collimator (3mm) - how is optimization of positioning of CPS done

• support stands etc. (accuracy of 1/2 mm)
• 1/2mm should be doable - very big magnets can be done to 1mm

DESIGN OPTIMIZATION

• Update from simulations on investigation of CPS with less tungsten and/or lead

• Discussion about cutting blocks for exit channel, holes for mounting etc.

• tungsten is cast material - machining more difficult than, e.g., copper, but has been done

NEXT MEETING: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 16TH AT 8:00AM ET
