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
